Running business logic from web service

Hello

I am writing a test webservice to modify the customer record name, and it's not modifying the ""Search Name". Is there something I'm missing? Here is my code. What do I need to do to run business Logic? 
            CustomerWS.Customer_Service service = new WebServiceApp.CustomerWS.Customer_Service();
            CustWS.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
            CustomerWS.Customer Cust = new WebServiceApp.CustomerWSr.Customer();
            Cust = service.Read("10000");
            Console.WriteLine(Cust.Name);
            Console.WriteLine(Cust.Search_Name);
            MyCust.Name = "test2";
            Console.WriteLine(Cust.Name);
            Console.WriteLine(Cust.Search_Name);
            service.Update(ref Cust);

thanks

    You need to check it after the update, the record is transfered and the business logic is called by insert/update/delete, not just by assigning the value (I suppose)...

    That's correct. There is no business logic built into the service objects you have created in your code. The properties will be updated after making a call into the web service (i.e. update, read, etc.). In general, all business logic is executed on the NAV server when invoked from web services, or role-tailored client.

    ok so the business logic is executable on update, insert.

    My question is still is why isn't the "Search Name" updated when I go to the Customer Card?

    You never told us that the Search name is not updated when you look at the modified card through RTC or CC. I though that you mean it is not updated when you execute your code, because you are displaying the search name before the business logic is executed...

    Updating the Search Name on the customer table involves the use of xRec to compare the previous value of the Name field to the Search Name field. An earlier version of NAV 2009 (CTP3 or CTP4) had a bug with web services where xRec was not being set properly. This was supposed to be fixed in the final release of NAV 2009, but I have not had a chance to test it. It could be that this error still exists.

    The bug is still exists. If Search Name is blank it populates it. If Search name is same as Name it doesn't overwrite.

    Also does it know the sequence of validation of fields if validation happens on update,insert?

    I think that the sequence is in ID field sequence...

    It's being looked at, but I can't tell you whether or not it will be fixed.
