I have this same problem in my c# program. Im consuming Nav webservice and trying to delete customer with my custom function. This is just test program.

This is the c# code:
Customer_Service custservice = new Customer_Service();
custservice.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
Customer Bolt = custservice.Read("9999999998");
custservice.DeleteCustomer(Bolt.No); // this function was made by me in codeunit

This is the codeunit code:
DeleteCustomer(CustomerID : Record Customer)

Cust.GET(CustomerID);
Cust.DELETE;

I get an error "Key '9999999998' is not well formed" in the c# program. Any ideas of why this happens?

That's because you set the parameter as a record in the codeunit (customerID of type record customer), however the parameter you send to the function is code20 (Bolt.No)

Ok. I see.

But in the c# code. What do I pass in for the record parameter in the Nav fuction?

The reason for this test project is to try how to extend page web service with custom codeunit functions.
For me to do that I have to have same record on the first parameter in the codeunit as for the page source and name it the same as published page in form 810 "Web service". I dont neccessary want to use this first parameter but to extend the page I have to.

So how can I use this record parameter in c# code?

Hope you understand what im trying to do.

I found out the solution how to pass into the record parameter in the c# code.
I have to use Customer.Key in the parameter.

This is the correct c# code:

Customer_Service custservice = new Customer_Service();
custservice.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
Customer Bolt = custservice.Read("9999999998");
custservice.DeleteCustomer(Bolt.Key); // this function was made by me in codeunit


Thanks Sog for your help. :thumbsup:
