How to work with File Management on Business Central (AL)?

elushka

On NAV 2017 i used a dotnet variable (System.IO.Path, ect) to handle the file management. For example to upload a new file, to download ect... Now i upgraded the code to AL but this does not work for the web client not for windows. For the windows client i used this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-get-started-call-dotnet-from-al

Is there any possibility to do that on AL code?

Thanks

Thanks @wolfskin . But i want that the document saved to a path on server (ex: "C:/Documents/...". As i saw at your blog this saved a record to table. Is there any other possibility to do that?

You can use DownloadFromStream function to save your file to physical path.

You can use in and out stream types.

May this blog will help you. <<https://navbitsbytes.com/2017/12/08/al-extensions-importing-and-exporting-media-sets/>&gt;

If you are in a onPremise solution, then you can set the target "Internal" and then you will be able to use FileManagement, otherwise follow @wolfskin solution
