Version system & Navision, export to txt

dolec

Hi,

Does anybody have some experience with using some "version system" (e.g. CVS) together with Navision? Please let me know, I'd like to maintain projects this way.

As well I'd like to know if it's possible to export object definition in TEXT format (not .fob), but through C/SIDE or commandline, not manually (object designer->File->Export...).

Thanks

We use Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0c. Works quite well. Split the object text export into separate files per object, and put these in VSS.

Exporting objects from code is not possible, as far as I am aware.

Does anyone knows how the Developers Toolkit retrieves the objects in text-format, when using the "Import from Navision Client" option?

It must be possible somehow.

I have been looking for that same functionality in the C/FRONT dll, but nothing to find there ... .

First, the developers toolkit was a stand-alone product of a third-party developer. Only later on, when Navision started to support this tool, this new feature (import from navision client) was inserted in the toolkit ... that's why I think it's some trick Navision uses ... and hidden for us developers ... .

But anyway, if anyone knows the trick, please let us know!
