Import Objects with C/FRONT.dll (>= NAV 5.01)

garak

Hi, i've tested the new C/Front.dll for NAV 5.01 (5.00 SP1) and i saw there 2 new nice functions.

The first nice is

ExportFOB()

the second one is

ImportFOB()

With both you can export / import binary files.

So, for example with

CFrontDotNet.Instance.ExportFOB("Drive:\\Folder\\YourExportFobFile.fob","WHERE(Type=CONST(Form),ID=FILTER(10..15))");

you can export all objects (in the example form 10..15) to your specific folder.

With

NavisionImportMode ImportMode;

ImportMode = NavisionImportMode.Overwrite;

CFrontDotNet.Instance.ImportFOB("Drive:\\Folder\\YourExportFobFile.fob",ImportMode);

you import the objects.

The return value of ExportFob is Void. But ImportFob return a String with the imported objects.

It would be nice if had ExportObjectAsText.


My guess they have added that for LS Retail Object replication feature they have to replicate objects to Stores.

yes but i can also transfer the blob to the object table and NAV creates the objects (tables incl. SIFT tables) self.

Right, but it's not supported.
