Creating Authorization Manager Store through Code

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I am attempting to create a deployment engine, and one of the things it
needs to do is create an XML Authorization Manager Store (AzManager
Store). I have searched, and poured over the documentation, and cannot
seem to find something to do this.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.
I am coding in C#.Net if it helps.

Thanks again,
-Erich

C# always helps :)

Have a look at the import/export tool i have on my blog - it shows a lot
of the APIs

For anyone who arrives here via search, or just needs the solution
(Thanks in entirety to Dominick Baier for the reply above. His code
solved this problem entirely!)

In the Initialize function
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/secauthz/security/azauthorizationstore_initialize.asp)
if the flag is '1', it will create the file for you!

this is the code that is of importance from Dominick Baier's post.

private const int AZ_AZSTORE_FLAG_CREATE = 1;
IAzAuthorizationStore destStore = new AzAuthorizationStoreClass();
destStore.Initialize(AZ_AZSTORE_FLAG_CREATE, destUrl, null);

Thanks again!
