I am using groupdocs annotation version 16.12. I download the demo example, but in example the annotations are getting stored in a JSON file. i need to store into sql server database.

  1. can i need to update my version for storing annotation in database?
  2. i read that it provides abstract interface that can implement, and use for storing data in specific storage please share some sample project or example so we know that how can i implement that.

We have a sample project that demonstrates how to store annotations in SQL database instead of JSON file. This sample project follows storage infrastructure given here. You can easily run the project following the given steps:

  • Extract the downloaded project, open the solution file in Visual Studio
  • Right click on solution and press Enable NuGet package Restore
  • Update API license path in AnnotationController.cs class
  • Build the project
  • Run example project

@Amr2015,

Please use latest version (17.11) of GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET as we are unable to reproduce this issue with this version of the API.

Thank you sami for response solution is working now but how can i handle user wise permission with annotations.example there is 3 user in application User A,B,C. if user “A” add annotation like “text reduction” and he wants that user “B” can view that and user “C” is not view. how can i handle that permission.

@Amr2015,

Currently, GroupDocs.Annotation doesn’t support this feature but we are happy to inform you that this feature will be available in our future releases. Meanwhile, you can manage this scenario in your application using collaborator rights, you can also find its documentation here.

Please advice how can i handle that scenario with collaborator rights. we need to set permission on particular annotations not on document. if it possible with collaborator why you say “GroupDocs.Annotation doesn’t support this feature”
if it possible then please provide demo for that.

Vishnu
