Can't update SalesReceipt in Quickbooks desktop

I'm using QuickBooks Integrator from /nSoftware to integrate with QuickBooks Desktop
I'm trying to update an invoice and I don't get any errors but when I check in QuickBooks I see that nothing changed and it didn't actually get updated.
First I try to lookup the invoice based on the RefNumber and if it found an Invoice then I try to replace the Line Items and then i call the update method like this existingInvoice.Update();
Here's my code sample:
public static List<Invoice> FindInvoice(string refNumber)
{
var invoicesSearch = new Objsearch
{
QueryType = ObjsearchQueryTypes.qtInvoiceSearch,
RuntimeLicense = "MYLICENSEKEY",
QBConnectionString = "MYCONNECTIONSTRINGTOREMOTECONNECTOR",
SearchCriteria = new SearchCriteria
{
RefNumberContains = refNumber
},
};
invoicesSearch.Search();
var qbInvoiceList = invoicesSearch.Results.ToList();
var invoiceObjList = new List<Invoice>();
foreach (var inv in qbInvoiceList)
{
var newInv = new Invoice();
newInv.QBResponseAggregate = inv.Aggregate;
invoiceObjList.Add(newInv);
}
return invoiceObjList.FirstOrDefault();
}
public static void PutInvoice(Invoice invoice)
{
var existingInvoice = FindInvoice(invoice.RefNumber);
if (existingInvoice != null)
{
existingInvoice.LineItems.Clear();
existingInvoice.LineItems.AddRange(invoice.LineItems);
existingInvoice.QBConnectionString = "MYCONNECTIONSTRINGTOREMOTECONNECTOR";
existingInvoice.RuntimeLicense = RuntimeLicense;
existingInvoice.QBXMLVersion = "12.0";
existingInvoice.Update(); //this line
}
}

Okay, so the issue was that I was setting the QBXMLVersion the last thing before updating.
In order for the Update() to process successfully the QBXMLVersion needs to be set the first thing.
Here's an updated working example:
public static void PutInvoice(Invoice invoice)
{
var existingInvoice = FindInvoice(invoice.RefNumber);
if (existingInvoice != null)
{
existingInvoice.QBXMLVersion = "12.0";
existingInvoice.RuntimeLicense = "MyRuntimeLicenseKey";
existingInvoice.QBConnectionString = "MYCONNECTIONSTRINGTOREMOTECONNECTOR";
existingInvoice.LineItems.Clear();
existingInvoice.LineItems.AddRange(invoice.LineItems);
existingInvoice.Update();
}
}

Why invitees/details of Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments.Appointment are empty

I am working on a Windows Phone 8.1 application, and this app want to get the meetings from Calendar.
I am using the Windows Runtime api to get all appointment like this:
AppointmentStore appointmentStore = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AllCalendarsReadOnly);
IReadOnlyList<Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments.Appointment> appointments = await appointmentStore.FindAppointmentsAsync(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.FromHours(24)); ;
foreach (var appointment in appointments)
{
var persistentId = appointment.RoamingId;
var details = appointment.Details;//the details is empty, why
var invitees = appointment.Invitees;//the invitees is also empty, why?
}
Actually, I tried the Microsoft Phone api, I can get the details and attendees(invitees). However, the Microsoft Phone api can't get the appointment ID. Can anybody throw me some light how to get both appointment ID, and details/invitees? Thanks!
Appointments appts = new Appointments();
//Identify the method that runs after the asynchronous search completes.
appts.SearchCompleted += new EventHandler<AppointmentsSearchEventArgs>(Calendar_SearchCompleted);
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
DateTime end = start.AddDays(1);
int max = 100;
appts.SearchAsync(start, end, max, "test");
private async void Calendar_SearchCompleted(object sender, AppointmentsSearchEventArgs e)
{
foreach (Microsoft.Phone.UserData.Appointment appt in e.Results)
{
var details = appt.Details;//I can get the details
var participants = new ObservableCollection<Person>();
var attendees = appt.Attendees;
if (attendees != null)
{
foreach (var attende in attendees)
{
Person attendPerson = new Person()
{
Email = attende.EmailAddress,
FullName = attende.DisplayName,
PersonID = attende.EmailAddress
};
participants.Add(attendPerson);
}
}
....
}
}

Your need to add FindAppointmentsOptions to get get whatever detail you want, try below code
AppointmentStore appointmentStore = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AllCalendarsReadOnly);
FindAppointmentsOptions options = new FindAppointmentsOptions();
options.MaxCount = 100;
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.Subject);
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.Location);
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.Invitees);
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.Details);
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.StartTime);
options.FetchProperties.Add(AppointmentProperties.ReplyTime);
IReadOnlyList<Windows.ApplicationModel.Appointments.Appointment> appointments = await appointmentStore.FindAppointmentsAsync(DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.FromHours(24), options);
foreach (var appointment in appointments)
{
var persistentId = appointment.RoamingId;
var details = appointment.Details;//the details is empty, why
var invitees = appointment.Invitees;//the invitees is also empty, why?
}

Bing API Query Callback to Observable Collection

Created a Windows Store App using some info found on this post: How do I use the Bing Search API in Windows Phone?
Goal
Textbox - Type any term
Search Button - Searches that term and populates a GridView of pictures retrieved with the Bing API
Problem
I get the pictures, and they are received via my "OnQueryComplete" callback, but I can't figure out what the correct way to populate the collection would be. Since I can't figure out how to await this call, I (just to see if I could get it working, which it does) added a while loop (which you can probably see the issues with). What would be the correct way to do this? How do you handle callbacks for populating the GridView and having it wait until it's finished?
Current ViewModel Code
public bool itemsFinished = false;
private ObservableCollection<SearchResult> _ImageResults;
public ObservableCollection<SearchResult> ImageResults {
get {
if (_ImageResults == null) {
while (!itemsFinished) {
int i = 0;
i++;
}
}
return _ImageResults;
}
set {
_ImageResults = value;
}
}
public SearchResultViewModel() {
GetPictures("dogs");
}
public void GetPictures(string searchTerm) {
// This is the query - or you could get it from args.
string query = searchTerm;
// Create a Bing container.
string rootUri = "https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search";
var bingContainer = new Bing.BingSearchContainer(new Uri(rootUri));
// Replace this value with your account key.
var accountKey = "myaccountkey";
// Configure bingContainer to use your credentials.
bingContainer.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(accountKey, accountKey);
// Build the query.
var imageQuery = bingContainer.Image(query, null, null, null, null, null, null);
imageQuery.BeginExecute(OnQueryComplete, imageQuery);
// var imageResults = imageQuery.Execute();
}
private void OnQueryComplete(IAsyncResult result) {
// ImageResults.Clear();
_ImageResults = new ObservableCollection<SearchResult>();
var query = (DataServiceQuery<ImageResult>)result.AsyncState;
var enumerableResults = query.EndExecute(result);
int i = 0;
foreach (var item in enumerableResults) {
SearchResult myResult = new SearchResult();
myResult.Title = item.Title;
myResult.ImageUri = new Uri(item.MediaUrl);
ImageResults.Add(myResult);
i++;
if (i >= 14) {
break;
}
}
itemsFinished = true;
}

Please excuse any syntax errors, I'm without a Visual Studio instance right now.
The problem I see is that you reset your ObservableCollection when you receive content.
Try it as follows:
private ObservableCollection<SearchResult> _ImageResults;
public ObservableCollection<SearchResult> ImageResults {
get
{
return _ImageResults;
}
set {
_ImageResults = value;
}
}
public SearchResultViewModel() {
_ImageResults = new ObservableCollection<SearchResult>(); // Just create it once.
GetPictures("dogs");
}
private void OnQueryComplete(IAsyncResult result) {
_ImageResults.Clear(); // Clear isn't bad, that way you keep your reference to your original collection!
//_ImageResults = new ObservableCollection<SearchResult>(); // We already have one. ObservableCollection works best if you keep on working with the collection you have.
var query = (DataServiceQuery<ImageResult>)result.AsyncState;
var enumerableResults = query.EndExecute(result);
int i = 0;
foreach (var item in enumerableResults) {
SearchResult myResult = new SearchResult();
myResult.Title = item.Title;
myResult.ImageUri = new Uri(item.MediaUrl);
ImageResults.Add(myResult);
i++;
if (i >= 14) {
break;
}
}
}
As far as I see (can't test sadly) this should work, provided you have bound your ObservableCollection the right way in your xaml.

EWS - Access All Shared Calendars

I've got the following code:
private void ListCalendarFolders(ref List<EBCalendar> items, int offset)
{
var pageSize = 100;
var view = new FolderView(pageSize, offset, OffsetBasePoint.Beginning);
view.PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
view.PropertySet.Add(FolderSchema.DisplayName);
view.PropertySet.Add(FolderSchema.EffectiveRights);
view.Traversal = FolderTraversal.Deep;
FindFoldersResults findFolderResults = service.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot, view);
foreach (Folder myFolder in findFolderResults.Folders)
{
if (myFolder is CalendarFolder)
{
var folder = myFolder as CalendarFolder;
items.Add(EBCalendar.FromEWSFolder(folder));
}
}
if (findFolderResults.MoreAvailable)
{
offset = offset + pageSize;
ListCalendarFolders(ref items, offset);
}
}
Where service is an ExchangeService instance. Unfortunately, it still lists folders that have been deleted, and it doesn't list shared calendars.
How can I get it to list all the shared calendars, and how can I get it to not include the folders that have been deleted?

By Shared Calendars do you mean the calendars under the other calendars node in Outlook ?
If so these Items are NavLinks that are stored in the Common Views folder in a Mailbox which is under the NonIPMSubtree (root) see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee157359(v=exchg.80).aspx. You can use EWS to get the NavLinks from a Mailbox and use the PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID extended property to get the X500 address of the Mailbox these Links refer to and then use Resolve Name to resolve that to a SMTP Address. Then all you need to do is Bind to that folder eg
static Dictionary<string, Folder> GetSharedCalendarFolders(ExchangeService service, String mbMailboxname)
{
Dictionary<String, Folder> rtList = new System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, Folder>();
FolderId rfRootFolderid = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Root, mbMailboxname);
FolderView fvFolderView = new FolderView(1000);
SearchFilter sfSearchFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(FolderSchema.DisplayName, "Common Views");
FindFoldersResults ffoldres = service.FindFolders(rfRootFolderid, sfSearchFilter, fvFolderView);
if (ffoldres.Folders.Count == 1)
{
PropertySet psPropset = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6854, MapiPropertyType.Binary);
ExtendedPropertyDefinition PidTagWlinkGroupName = new ExtendedPropertyDefinition(0x6851, MapiPropertyType.String);
psPropset.Add(PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID);
ItemView iv = new ItemView(1000);
iv.PropertySet = psPropset;
iv.Traversal = ItemTraversal.Associated;
SearchFilter cntSearch = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(PidTagWlinkGroupName, "Other Calendars");
// Can also find this using PidTagWlinkType = wblSharedFolder
FindItemsResults<Item> fiResults = ffoldres.Folders[0].FindItems(cntSearch, iv);
foreach (Item itItem in fiResults.Items)
{
try
{
object GroupName = null;
object WlinkAddressBookEID = null;
// This property will only be there in Outlook 2010 and beyond
//https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee220131(v=exchg.80).aspx#Appendix_A_30
if (itItem.TryGetProperty(PidTagWlinkAddressBookEID, out WlinkAddressBookEID))
{
byte[] ssStoreID = (byte[])WlinkAddressBookEID;
int leLegDnStart = 0;
// Can also extract the DN by getting the 28th(or 30th?) byte to the second to last byte
//https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee237564(v=exchg.80).aspx
//https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh354838(v=exchg.80).aspx
String lnLegDN = "";
for (int ssArraynum = (ssStoreID.Length - 2); ssArraynum != 0; ssArraynum--)
{
if (ssStoreID[ssArraynum] == 0)
{
leLegDnStart = ssArraynum;
lnLegDN = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(ssStoreID, leLegDnStart + 1, (ssStoreID.Length - (leLegDnStart + 2)));
ssArraynum = 1;
}
}
NameResolutionCollection ncCol = service.ResolveName(lnLegDN, ResolveNameSearchLocation.DirectoryOnly, false);
if (ncCol.Count > 0)
{
FolderId SharedCalendarId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, ncCol[0].Mailbox.Address);
Folder SharedCalendaFolder = Folder.Bind(service, SharedCalendarId);
rtList.Add(ncCol[0].Mailbox.Address, SharedCalendaFolder);
}
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
}
}
}
return rtList;
}

You need to specify a searchfilter.
this is described here, though im not sure which Schema is the correct one, my guess would be Archieved.
So you would do something like this:
SearchFilter searchFilter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(FolderSchema.Archieved, false);
FindFoldersResults findFolderResults = service.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot,searchFilter, view);

Glen post is perfect but binding folder gives error. However i solved this. Instead of this line:
Folder SharedCalendaFolder = Folder.Bind(service, SharedCalendarId);
use the following line for shared folder binding
CalendarFolder calendar = CalendarFolder.Bind(service, new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, OwnerEmailAddress), new PropertySet());
Here OwnerEmailAddress is Email Address of Owner or you can write ncCol[0].Mailbox.Address if using Glen's code.

How can I pass a function with one parameter to an ICommand?

Here's my ICommand:
public ICommand ConfirmLotSavedCommand {
get
{
return new RelayCommand(ConfirmLotSaved);
}
}
The problem is I have deserialized data that I want to store into database after a user clicks confirm button. If the user does not click on confirm or the lot number already exists, then I don't want to save the deserialized string in db.
I had trouble calling a function with one parameter inside my ConfirmLotSaved() method because of scope.
So I created a set the deserialized lot as a field and put the code to save to db inside of ConfirmLotSaved(). However, the field is null for some strange reason... I'm not sure why.
Here's my attempt:
private LotInformation lot; //field that is supposed to contain all the deserialized info
private void ConfirmLotSaved()
{
using (var db = new DDataContext())
{
bool lotNumDbExists = db.LotInformation.Any(r => r.lot_number == DeserialLotNumber);
if (lotNumDbExists == false)
{
successWindow.Message = "Successfully Saved Lot";
dialogService.ShowDialog(successWindow.Message, successWindow);
LotInformation newLot = new LotInformation();
if (newLot != null)
{
newLot.Id = lot.Id;
newLot.lot_number = lot.lot_number;
newLot.exp_date = lot.exp_date;
LotNumber = Lot.lot_number;
ExpirationDate = Lot.exp_date.ToString();
foreach (Components comp in lot.Components)
{
newLot.Components.Add(comp);
}
ComponentsList = newLot.Components;
foreach (Families fam in lot.Families)
{
newLot.Families.Add(fam);
}
FamiliesList = newLot.Families;
try
{
db.LotInformation.Add(newLot);
db.SaveChanges();
//Grabs the lot_number column from db that is distinct
var lotNum = db.LotInformation.GroupBy(i => i.lot_number).Select(group => group.FirstOrDefault());
//Loops through the lot numbers column in db and converts to list
foreach (var item in lotNum)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.lot_number);
}
LotNumList = lotNum.ToList();
Console.WriteLine("successfully");
}
catch
{
//TODO: Add a Dialog Here
}
}
else if (lotNumDbExists == true)
{
// Inform user that the lot_number already exists
errorWindow.Message = LanguageResources.Resource.Lot_Exists_Already;
dialogService.ShowDialog(LanguageResources.Resource.Error, errorWindow);
logger.writeErrLog(LanguageResources.Resource.Lot_Exists_Already);
return;
}
}
}
}
Deserialization function to see where lot is grabbing data:
public void DeserializedStream(string filePath)
{
XmlRootAttribute xRoot = new XmlRootAttribute();
xRoot.ElementName = "lot_information";
xRoot.IsNullable = false;
// Create an instance of lotinformation class.
LotInformation lot = new LotInformation();
// Create an instance of stream writer.
TextReader txtReader = new StreamReader(filePath);
// Create and instance of XmlSerializer class.
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(LotInformation), xRoot);
// DeSerialize from the StreamReader
lot = (LotInformation)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(txtReader);
// Close the stream reader
txtReader.Close();
LotInformation newList = new LotInformation();
using (var db = new DDataContext())
{
bool isDuplicate = db.LotInformation.Any(r => r.lot_number == lot.lot_number);
if (newList != null && isDuplicate == false)
{
newList.Id = lot.Id;
newList.lot_number = lot.lot_number;
newList.exp_date = lot.exp_date;
DeserialLotNumber = newList.lot_number;
DeserialExpirationDate = newList.exp_date.ToString();
foreach (Component comp in lot.Components)
{
newList.Components.Add(comp);
}
DeserialComponentsList = newList.Components;
foreach (Families fam in lot.Families)
{
newList.Families.Add(fam);
}
DeserialFamiliesList = newList.Families;
}
else if (isDuplicate == true)
{
DeserialAnalytesList = null;
DeserialFamiliesList = null;
// Inform user that the lot_number already exists
errorWindow.Message = LanguageResources.Resource.Lot_Exists_Already;
dialogService.ShowDialog(LanguageResources.Resource.Error, errorWindow);
logger.writeErrLog(LanguageResources.Resource.Lot_Exists_Already);
return;
}
}
}

I figured out what was wrong:
After setting private LotInformation lot; field before constructor, I redeclared locally my mistake:
LotInformation lot = new LotInformation();
Changed it to:
lot = new LotInformation();
and it works.

I suggest you to use RelayCommand's generic edition http://www.kellydun.com/wpf-relaycommand-with-parameter/
It will allow you to pass lot to your command from view, all you need to store lot in current DataContext.
