Links regarding XML parsing in Navision

subhaster

Hi ,
Does anyone know , is/are there any links from where I can get an Idea of how to parse an XML file in Navision ?
Is there any e-book on such topic ?

Hi,
could you be more specific what are you trying to do? Could you give an example?

And try to search the forum. There is lots of information about xml files.

actually , i would like to know how would i go for parsing an xml document (using XMLDOcuments,IXMLDomDocs).
I am using a code that looks like this :-

When I print by saying :-
XmlNode;=XmlDom.Documenelement;
message(XmlNode.text);
the out put is perfect :-
<MSG>ITEM0001</MSG>

But when I use :-
InMsg := InMessage;
InS := InMsg.GetStream();
XMLDom.load(InS);
XmlNode := XMLDom.selectSingleNode('MSG');
ParseRequest(XmlNode.text);

I am getting an error like this :-
You have not instantiated the automation variable. You can instantiate it by eighter creating it/ assigning it.

In order to use an automation type variable, you have to instantiate it. For the XMLDom object, you first do this:

CREATE(XMLDOM);

and then you should be able to use its methods. Similarly, when you're done with the variable, you do this:

CLEAR(XMLDOM);

to destroy it from memory.

Thanks so much Den... I worked it out . Actually the MSMQ stream , that I was getting , was a text , but I was treating it as an XML File. Now I have changed the iussueing Web Service from where I was actually generating the XML, and now it is getting parsed properly.

I think there's a LoadText method in XMLDOM that you could try also.
