Publish MXD to server in ArcObjects C#

Question

Hi,

I have an MXD that I would like to publish to an ArcGIS server using C# ArcObjects (preferably as an MSD). I have been unable to find anything regarding this. Essentially I would like to implement the following ArcPy code in ArcObjects:

arcpy.mapping.ConvertToMSD()
arcpy.mapping.PublishMSDToServer()

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Try bind license:RuntimeManager.Bind(ProductCode.Desktop);
                IAoInitialize objAoInitialize;
                objAoInitialize = new AoInitializeClass();
                objAoInitialize.Initialize(esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeAdvanced);
                IMSDHelper helper = new MSDHelperClass();
...

I recently rewrote my publishing code from python to C#. However, I have yet to figure out how to convert an mxd to msd using IMSDHelper. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

p.s. this does not work:
            IMSDHelper helper = new MSDHelperClass();
            helper.Open(mxdName);
            helper.SaveAs(msdName, false);

you can use code like:

For msd see the interface IMSDHelper:

I was able to get my combo ArcObjects/ArcPy solution working, but thanks! It is good to have that for future reference.
