The StyleVisionServer API exposes the IServer interface, which creates a new StyleVision Server object instance, and provides access to StyleVision Server.

The IServer interface has the following methods and properties.

Methods

AddParameter

Assigns a value to a parameter defined in the PXF file.

void AddParameter(string bstrName, string bstrValue)

C++

Sub AddParameter(ByVal bstrName As String, ByVal bstrValue As String)

ClearParameterList

Clears the list of parameters.

void ClearParameterList()

C++

HRESULT ClearParameterList();

Sub ClearParameterList()

Generate

Generates one or more output files (HTML, PDF, RTF, and/or DOCX) by using the PXF file specified with TransfPath. It transforms the input XML file (Working XML File in the PXF file) using the XSLT document contained in the PXF file. Returns TRUE in case of success; FALSE otherwise.
