Asp.net c# call dynamics v5 codeunit \ xmlport

Carlos_Portugal

Hello,

I've been searching for the best way to retrieve codeunit data or a xml from dynamics nav v5 each time that is requested by a asp.net c# web portal. What i need to do is to populate a chart that is placed in the portal with data from the nav database, but this data needs to be processed before being sent. I can process the data using a codeunit or a xmlport, my doubs are about how to make the connection beetween the portal and the nav database.


I appreciate any help,

thanks :P

It may not be of help in your situation, but if you upgrade to Nav 2009 you can publish codeunits as a web service, thus have the codeunit respond to xml requests for data.

Hello, thank you for your response. I just dont understand how to call the NAS event and to pass the parameters from my Asp.net portal. Any ideas?

You should send XML request to the ip, where NAS is installed. NAS should proceed you request and send you the response.
