xml via automation in codeunits without xmlports

davmac1

I am upgrading NAV2009 to NAV2013R2.

I am running into a problem with the xml code executed directly in the codeunits.
I get the automation variable not instantiated when it first executes “XMLNode := XMLDom.selectSingleNode”
If I add a create(XMLDom) before it, it compiles, but gets a different error – cannot create an instance of an automation server.
I added a create on the document (CREATE(XMLDocument, TRUE ,TRUE);) ('Microsoft XML, v6.0'.DOMDocument60) which does not get an error. In NAV2013R2 am I meant to tie all this together somehow>
The code is currently using:
'Microsoft XML, v6.0'.IXMLDOMAttribute
'Microsoft XML, v6.0'.IXMLDOMNode

It does look like this automation should still be supported in the new NAV versions based on the online documentation.

Is there a way to get it to work, or would I be better off switching to dotnet?

Problem was different automation names in Windows server - had to make sure all old document definitions were changed correctly to DOMDocument60.

yes you need to use dotnet.
You can find one called Mircosoft.MSXML in Dotnet and that should mostly fit with you existing function.
