Receive List of Records of MyTable through SOAP webservice.

zohaibu95@hotmail.com

Hi guys,
I am developing a SOAP webservice, in which i want to update the items in bulk. For this, i have create a table which will have the records of all the items which have to be updated.
Now the challenge which i m facing is, the input of the webservice will be the List of items e.g. if i created a table MyItems then on the input of this method i will have the List<MyItems> .
So how can i receive it in my method as a parameter? how can i treat it as list because in NAV we cannot make dynamics array.

Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Just you need to play with the Instreams OR Outstreams, either you want to send xmlport as a Parameter from NAV or to get in NAV.

The below example is getting an XML as parameter from WebService.

First you need to make the XMLPORT in NAV, make sure the schema would be exactly the same as you will get in parameter. IN the Parameter add Bigtext and get your xmlport as a parameter in it.

Now write this code.

TempBlob.INIT;
TempBlob.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutStream);
Bigtest.WRITE(OutStream);//This Bigtext is the Parameter which consists of XML
TempBlob.INSERT;
TempBlob.CALCFIELDS(Blob);
TempBlob.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(InStream);
XMLPORT.IMPORT(XMLPORT::Your Created XMLPORT,InStream);

I guss you can do it like
ListFunction(myList : DotNet "System.Collections.Generic.List`1")

Why not using XMLPORT as a webservice parameter in which you will have list of all the Items.

so when i call the webservice in .NET then can i pass the c# List or i need to first translate the c# list into xml string and send then xml string to this webservice?

RockWithNAV

You should translate in XML String.
