    just go to www.gotcal.com, there is a .net application, which is capable to read and store objects.

    with 5.01 the C/Front.dll supports a function to import objects
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for the great help.The application is awesome.
    In my scenario it is reuire to run that application without GUI.It should read the codeunit object from particular location and then write it to the Navision database without user intervention.

    It would be great if anybody could give light on this.

    You need to run a codeunit in NAV by event?
    And this event is "fired" from a 3-rd App?

    If Yes, search the forum for NAS Socket MessageQueue and so on ...

    I have to write one application in .net that will take care of picking up a codeunit from a location in system and then importing it to Navision without opening it.

    Than learn how to use the C/Front. If there will be something unclear, you can ask new question.


    Right now answer for you is: use C/Front for importing and exporting .fob to/from selected DB.

    YourDotNet Appl. pick up a Codeunit (fobfile) from, let's say C:\Myfolder\MyCUFile.fob. correct?
    Now, you need to import this CU into a database with your .net appl. Correct?
    If both yes and you are under 5.01 take a look into cfront.dll.
    a other way is the option with the ROT Table (but here no guaranty).
    Do you make it right, it works too!

    You can use a NAS and a timer to import the objects. Then just place the fob's in a folder c:\fobimport\

    How to import / export fobs from nav:

    1) THis is not exporting/importing FOBs...
    2) It is dangerous to do this in this way...

    This works only, if you import the BLOB from the same way like exporting (NAV code, direcly SQL) and the setup of the machines and databases should be the same. but it's possible, that in some cases the BLOB is corrupted

    I have to import fob to Navision without opening navision and to any version of navision.
    Cfront is a good idea but to use that navision should be of version 5.0 or greater.
    However I am creating a dot net application to achive this without user intervention.
    While creating this application,I need some assistance from all of you.

    Thanks for great and valuable responses to all of you.

    Hi ,

    Thanks to every one who give me help!
    I had developed a dot net application that is inserting FOBS directly without opeining Navision Object Designer.
    Now Navision Auto Update is implemented.

    Abhishek

    Can you share some thoughts you have used to make this autoupdate,if it is possible to share? E.g. only which method you have used (ROT, direct Blob access, SendKeys, etc.)

    I had used the functionality from System.Runtime.InteropServices to implement the autoupdate for Navision.
    I had used the GUID for CSide object designer to fetch the desiner dynamically without opening the Obect Designer in Navision.
    Example::
    DefaultMonikerName = "!C/SIDE";
    ObjectDesignerGuid = "50000004-0000-1000-0001-0000836BD2D2";

    Hi Everybody,

    I had posted my dvelopment regarding Navision auto update for FOBS in one website with source code.
    I had provided both dll and a small application developed in C# windows application to demonstrate the use of dll.
    However in the sample application I had allowed the forms,codeunits and tables objects to get imported but anybody can used this dll to import the table also.One can also used this dll in a webservice to automate the task for a complete autoupdate for Navision.This Dll can be used for versioning purpose also.
    As I had provided the source code for DLL also so one can also modify the code for DLL to extend its functionality.
    One can also used this DLL for Export,Import and compiling of Navision Objects without opening Navision Object designer.
    Everything is developed in C#.
    Please find the link for this posting:

    Hope this would be useful.Please provide the ratings to this posting.Whenever there will be some new development on this DLL I will post it as an update.
    Thanks for the time.

    [Please don't crosspost and post the same message over and over again.]

    Why not make your code available on mibuso.com? Then you have a separate thread in the Downloads-forum, so people can track updates more easily.
