Has anybody looked at Navision Clipboard stream?
I'm trying to decipher the stream in my application.
This is the stream converted to byte array

    in c#? what is your goal? Do you need the plaintext copied to the clipboard?

    I can see the system.string fine. My goal is to manipulate the
    "Microsoft Dynamics NAV Record" Stream so that I mix a Navision clipboard with Excel clipboard.

    Navision allows copying from Navision to Navision through this Stream.
    I am trying to modify the stream and put excel data in there.

    The goal is to allow data copied from excel to be pasted into Navision.


    The problem is the stream has obfuscated structure.
    ](*,)

    It looks like they are sending the table object with code and validation in the stream.

    It's one of the reason why copy and paste accross citrix or RDP for table for navision doesn't work.

    They are doing some checksum.

    interesting idea but it looks like a "mission impossible" .... imho.

    I would probably write a com-registred DLL which exposes the method "GetNavDataFromClipboard" which gets all records from the clipboard in plain text and an event "ModifiedRecord" with a Text 1024 variable for sending back each modified record to navision to loop over all fields and modify the record with C/AL code. Just an idea.

    I'm doing it with a stand alone .NET application. It's an external application.
