Hi, i've tested the new C/Front.dll for NAV 5.01 (5.00 SP1) and i saw there 2 new nice functions.

The first nice is 
ExportFOB()
the second one is 
ImportFOB()

With both you can export / import binary files.

So, for example with
CFrontDotNet.Instance.ExportFOB("Drive:\\Folder\\YourExportFobFile.fob","WHERE(Type=CONST(Form),ID=FILTER(10..15))");

you can export all objects (in the example form 10..15) to your specific folder.

With
NavisionImportMode ImportMode;

ImportMode = NavisionImportMode.Overwrite;

CFrontDotNet.Instance.ImportFOB("Drive:\\Folder\\YourExportFobFile.fob",ImportMode);

you import the objects.

The return value of ExportFob is Void. But ImportFob return a String with the imported objects.

Regards
Do you make it right, it works too!

    It would be nice if had ExportObjectAsText.


    My guess they have added that for LS Retail Object replication feature they have to replicate objects to Stores.

    yes but i can also transfer the blob to the object table and NAV creates the objects (tables incl. SIFT tables) self.

    Right, but it's not supported.
