Hi All,

Thanks for Help

what communication protocols are you going to use. if SOAP+HTTP (web services), then yes you can use MSDOM automation and there are many examples on how to do that in NAV.

Here is an example of WCF service running as windows service hosting a webservice.

So as my enderstand, you that we must Hosting the WCF Service as a basic WebService to be consumed from the NAV Codeunit.

Could you tell us what are you trying to do?

Im trying fo to call a WCF Services from NAV2009 to integrate the NAV with others systems like MSCRM and an extranet.
so we have a WCF Layer that expose many services to be consumed.

what communication protocol is that WCF is using?

Write your code for the communication in .NET, then make that COM visible dll file. In NAV you can reference and instantiate the dll and pass any relevant info to MSCRM.

I suggest to use already solution that are available. SCRIBE is one of them.

Thanks,

I create a DLL that use my WCF Services and NAV can call it from NAV Form and the codeunit. The DLL works fine,
but Im trying now to use complex data:
I have a methode named "CreateCRMProduct" this methode take some parameter and return an Object of Type CRMProduct
that contain some properties like name, productnumber,ProductGuid..., NAV can see the CRMProduct type but I cant access to the properties, why? may be the is a way to format the WCF format of data into NAV format?

Thanks for Help
