The Connecting to NAV Web Services series is coming to an end. I think I have covered the majority of platforms from which you would like to connect and use NAV Web Services – some things are easy and some things are a little harder.

Please read this post to get a brief explanation of the scenario I will implement in Silverlight. Yes, yes – I know it isn’t a fancy graphical whatever as Silverlight should be, but to be honest – I would rather do something crappy on purpose than trying to do something fancy and everybody would find...

This post is really just a Visual Basic version of this post , please read that post before continuing. Note, this is my very first Visual Basic application. I don’t think there are any ways to do this easier – but then again – how should I know. I am creating a Visual Basic Console application and adding...

You should read the post about connecting to NAV Web Services from C# using Service Reference (config file version) before continuing here. Code is king As you saw in the other post, the config file was pretty complicated and although it is editable by hand and as such could be modified at installtime...

Please read my first post about auto deployment of Client side components here before reading this. As you know, my first auto deployment project contained a couple of methods for automatically adding actions to pages, but as one of my colleagues in Germany (Carsten Scholling) told me, it would also...

In this post from April, I explained how to make dynamic references to page based Web Services, but the post really left the developer with a lot of manual work to do using reflection. So – I thought – why not create a couple of helper classes which makes it easier. Basically I have created a generic...

As you know, when creating an application consuming NAV Web Services you need to specify the Company name as part of the URL to the Web Service, but what company should you be using? Some applications are web front-ends placing data from the web application into NAV. For applications like this you typically...

In November of 2008 I wrote an article about using the NAV 2009 Web Services on Gaspode’s Brain Dump. This article received a lot of comments, showing how much interest this topic generates. Sadly, due to some of the limitations with NAV Web Services at that time, the example did not work as well...

In my last Web service gotcha post , I wrote about how a User Personalisation record is needed to ensure dates are handled correctly when executing Web services.

Sometimes I just get an idea and want to see if I can get it working, and in the case of this one, I couldn’t think of a practical use for what I finished up with. Who knows, maybe you’ll find some use for it. The idea started life as a .NET application that would help me get the URLs for every possible...

A few weeks ago I saw an up tick in the number of cases having problems accessing exposed web service. Some of the problem has been because the “CRONUS USA, Inc.” company name converts to an unfamiliar “CROUNS_USA_x002C__Inc”. This will be changing in NAV 2009 SP1 , but until that time it would be helpful...
