I am working with a C# project that uses the dll, Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ManagedInterop to work with an AX 2012 environment. From within the code, I need to find a SalesQuotationLine based on specific criteria and delete it. So far, I can get the record I need but I am unable to delete it because I am not using a TTSBEGIN/TTSCOMMIT statement and I am not using FORUPDATE. This is my code:
DictTable dictTable = new DictTable(Global.tableName2Id("SalesQuotationLine"));
int quotationIdFieldId = (int)dictTable.Call("fieldName2Id", "QuotationId");
int bdcParentRecIdFieldId = (int)dictTable.Call("fieldName2Id", "BDCParentRecId");
var query = new Query();
var datasource = query.addDataSource(Global.tableName2Id("SalesQuotationLine"));
var queryRange1 = datasource.addRange(quotationIdFieldId);
queryRange1.value = "=" + line.QuotationId;
QueryRun queryRun = new QueryRun(query as object);
while (queryRun.next())
{
var result = queryRun.get(Global.tableName2Id("SalesQuotationLine"));
result.Delete();
}
I also looked at the code here, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197113.aspx but I found that I cannot use it since the code I am working with does not use the .NET Business Connector (I am not sure when one dll should be used over the other).
Use TTSBegin() and TTSCommit() methods on Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ManagedInterop.RuntimeContext.Current. The forUpdate flag can be set by QueryBuildDataSource's update().
It may be easier (and better for maintenance) to write it in an X++ method just call the method from C#.

I want to fetch all the users from a large location of our Domino LDAP, around ~2000 users altogether. Since .NET Core sadly doesn't have a platform independent LDAP library, I'm using Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard with this POC:
var cn = new Novell.Directory.Ldap.LdapConnection();
cn.Connect("dc.internal", 389);
cn.Bind("user", "pw");
string filter = "location=MyLoc";
var result = cn.Search("", Novell.Directory.Ldap.LdapConnection.ScopeOne, filter, new string[] { Novell.Directory.Ldap.LdapConnection.AllUserAttrs }, typesOnly: false);
int count = 0;
while (result.HasMore()) {
var entry = result.Next();
count++;
Console.WriteLine(entry.Dn);
}
It prints me a lot of entries, but not all. When count = 1000 I got an Size Limit Exceeded exception. I guess this is because I need to use some kind of pagination, so not all entries woult be returned in a single request. There are different questions like this or this one. Both in Java, the .NET Core API seems somehow different.
Approach 1: Try to find out how LdapSearchRequest works in .NET Core
byte[] resumeCookie = null;
LdapMessageQueue queue = null;
var searchReq = new LdapSearchRequest("", LdapConnection.ScopeOne, filter, new string[] { LdapConnection.AllUserAttrs },
LdapSearchConstraints.DerefNever, maxResults: 3000, serverTimeLimit: 0, typesOnly: false, new LdapControl[] { new SimplePagedResultsControl(size: 100, resumeCookie) });
var searchRequest = cn.SendRequest(searchReq, queue);
I'm trying to figure out how the Java examples can be used in .NET Core. This looks good, however I can't figure out how to fetch the LDAP entries. I only get an message id. By looking into the source it seems that I'm on the right way, but they're using MessageAgent which cannot be used outside since it's internal sealed. This is propably the reason why searching for LdapRearchRequest in the source code doesn't give many results.
Approach 2: Using SimplePagedResultsControlHandler
var opts = new SearchOptions("", LdapConnection.ScopeOne, filter, new string[] { LdapConnection.AllUserAttrs });
// For testing purpose: https://github.com/dsbenghe/Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard/issues/163
cn.SearchConstraints.ReferralFollowing = false;
var pageControlHandler = new SimplePagedResultsControlHandler(cn);
var rows = pageControlHandler.SearchWithSimplePaging(opts, pageSize: 100);
This throws a Unavaliable Cricital Extension exception. First I thought that this is an issue of the .NET port, which may doesn't support all the features of the original Java library yet. It seems complete and according to further researches, it looks like to be an LDAP error code. So this must be something which has to be supported by the server, but is not supported by Domino.
I couldn't make at least one of those approachs work, but found another way: Cross platform support for the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace was was added in .NET 5. This was missing for a long time in .NET Core and I guess this is the main reason why libraries like Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard were ported to .NET Core - in times of .NET Core 1.x this was the only way I found to authenticate against LDAP wich works on Linux too.
After having a deeper look into System.DirectoryServices.Protocols, it works well out of the box, even for ~2k users. My basic POC class looks like this:
public class DominoLdapManager {
LdapConnection cn = null;
public DominoLdapManager(string ldapHost, int ldapPort, string ldapBindUser, string ldapBindPassword) {
var server = new LdapDirectoryIdentifier(ldapHost, ldapPort);
var credentials = new NetworkCredential(ldapBindUser, ldapBindPassword);
cn = new LdapConnection(server);
cn.AuthType = AuthType.Basic;
cn.Bind(credentials);
}
public IEnumerable<DominoUser> Search(string filter, string searchBase = "") {
string[] attributes = { "cn", "mail", "companyname", "location" };
var req = new SearchRequest(searchBase, filter, SearchScope.Subtree, attributes);
var resp = (SearchResponse)cn.SendRequest(req);
foreach (SearchResultEntry entry in resp.Entries) {
var user = new DominoUser() {
Name = GetStringAttribute(entry, "cn"),
Mail = GetStringAttribute(entry, "mail"),
Company = GetStringAttribute(entry, "companyname"),
Location = GetStringAttribute(entry, "location")
};
yield return user;
}
yield break;
}
string GetStringAttribute(SearchResultEntry entry, string key) {
if (!entry.Attributes.Contains(key)) {
return string.Empty;
}
string[] rawVal = (string[])entry.Attributes[key].GetValues(typeof(string));
return rawVal[0];
}
}
Example usage:
var ldapManager = new DominoLdapManager("ldap.host", 389, "binduser", "pw");
var users = ldapManager.Search("objectClass=person");
But it's not solved with Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard as the title said
This doesn't solve my problem with the Novell.Directory.Ldap.NETStandard library as the title suggested, yes. But since System.DirectoryServices.Protocols is a official .NET package maintained by Microsoft and the .NET foundation, this seems the better aproach for me. The foundation will take care to keep it maintained and compatible with further .NET releases. When I wrote the question, I was not aware of the fact that Linux support is added now.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to say that third packages are bad by design - that would be completely wrong. However, when I have the choice between a official package and a third party one, I think it makes sense to prefer the official one. Except there would be a good reason against that - which is not the case here: The official package (which doesn't exist in the past) works better to solve this issue than the third party one.
I am currently working on an MVC site that will hopefully consume an old .asmx Web Service. The documentation for the Web Service provides the following example:
// Construct a request object
TrimRequest request = new TrimRequest();
// Construct a RecordStringSearchClause, with type
// TitleWord, and argument "reef"
RecordStringSearchClause clause = new RecordStringSearchClause();
clause.Type = RecordStringSearchClauseType.TitleWord;
clause.Arg = "reef";
// Construct a record search, and put our search clause in it
WorkerPortalTest.TRIMWS.RecordSearch search = new WorkerPortalTest.TRIMWS.RecordSearch();
search.Items = new RecordClause[] { clause };
// If we had more than one clause, it would look like:
// search.Items = new RecordClause[] { clause1, clause2, clause3 }
// Put our search operation into our TrimRequest
request.Items = new Operation[] { search };
// Send it off. Whatever comes back will be in response
Engine engine = new Engine();
engine.Credentials = newSystem.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password);
TrimResponse response = engine.Execute(request);
As a fairly new C# programmer I understand all of it apart from the last three lines. I have never seen or used the Engine object and Visual Studio does not know of it either.. I looked through MSDN and found this page but it said it was deprecated.
I am just looking for some pointers in the right direction to call the Web Service and receive back the desired result.
Thanks.
Engine is an example of the webservice class. It calls a method in Engine class known as "Execute"..
I am trying to do highlighting on the search results. Here is the relevant part of my code.
QueryScorer scorer = new QueryScorer(q);
Lucene.Net.Search.Highlight.IFormatter formatter = new SimpleHTMLFormatter("<b>", "</b>");
Lucene.Net.Search.Highlight.Highlighter highlighter = new Highlighter(formatter, scorer);
highlighter.TextFragmenter = new SimpleFragmenter(800);
Lucene.Net.Util.Version vers = new Lucene.Net.Util.Version();
vers = Lucene.Net.Util.Version.LUCENE_30;
TokenStream stream = new StandardAnalyzer(vers).TokenStream(string.Empty, new StringReader(text));
string s = string.Empty;
try
{
s = highlighter.GetBestFragments(stream, text, 10, "...");
}
Here, GetBestFragments method throws a System.MissingMethodException.
I have tried to replace the original Lucene.net dll with Lucene.Net.Contrib but this time, I dont know what I should write instead of TokenStream. It doesnt exist in Lucene.Net.Contrib.* dlls.
I am working on existing code and I need to find out how I can rewrite TokenStream class and GetBestFragments method.
Thanx
The problem was something about deployment, that the new compatible Lucene.dll was replaced by the incompatible Sitecore7 dll.
So, if both lucene.net and lucene.net.contrib dll are referenced, it should work.
Not directly the solution to my question, but this source is worth mentioning again. (About lucene.dll versions) : http://laubplusco.net/sitecore-7-lucen-3-0-highlighted-results/
In Revit 2013 I have tool that I'm making that copies dimensions from one drafting view to another. I've got it to properly create a new version of a dimension including the Curve, DimensionType, and References but I'm having trouble with the properties Above, Below, Prefix, and Suffix. They copy just fine if at least one of them has a value. However, if none of them have a value then it will throw an AccessViolationException when I try to access them. I have tried to catch that exception but it bubbles up and it crashes Revit (I'm assuming it's caused by native code that fails).
How can I check to see if these properties have any value when I do my copying without triggering this AccessViolationException?
Autodesk Discussion Group Question
The DimensionData class is my own used for storing the dimension information so that it can be used to create the dimension in a separate document.
private IEnumerable<DimensionData> GetDimensionDataSet(Document document,
View view)
{
if (document == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("document");
if (view == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("view");
List<DimensionData> dimensionDataSet = new List<DimensionData>();
FilteredElementCollector dimensionCollector =
new FilteredElementCollector(document, view.Id);
dimensionCollector.OfClass(typeof(Dimension));
foreach (Dimension oldDimension in dimensionCollector)
{
Line oldDimensionLine = (Line)oldDimension.Curve;
string dimensionTypeName = oldDimension.DimensionType.Name;
List<ElementId> oldReferences = new List<ElementId>();
foreach (Reference oldReference in oldDimension.References)
oldReferences.Add(oldReference.ElementId);
DimensionData dimensionData;
try
{
string prefix = oldDimension.Prefix;
dimensionData = new DimensionData(oldDimensionLine,
oldReferences,
dimensionTypeName,
prefix,
oldDimension.Suffix,
oldDimension.Above,
oldDimension.Below);
}
catch (AccessViolationException)
{
dimensionData = new DimensionData(oldDimensionLine,
oldReferences, dimensionTypeName);
}
dimensionDataSet.Add(dimensionData);
}
return dimensionDataSet;
}
Regarding transactions: As far as I'm aware, you are only required to be inside a transaction when you are making any sort of CHANGE (modifications, deletions, additions). If all you are doing is collecting dimension information, you would not need a transaction, but when you use that information to create new dimensions in another document, that code would have to be inside a transaction. I have had a number of programs under development which did not yet modify the document but simply collected parameter settings and posted them to a TaskDialog.Show(). These programs worked fine, and I don't see anything in your code that actually modifies your model, so that doesn't seem to be your issue.
It seems like I bug.
Can you post the issue to the ADN Support?
The solution I can suggest is to use Parameters of the Dimension element instead of Dimension class properties.
For example, you can get Suffix and Prefix by following code
var suffixParameter =
oldDimension.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SPOT_SLOPE_SUFFIX);
string suffix = null;
if (suffixParameter != null)
{
suffix = suffixParameter.AsString();
}
var prefixParameter =
oldDimension.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SPOT_SLOPE_PREFIX);
string prefix = null;
if (prefixParameter != null)
{
prefix = prefixParameter.AsString();
}
Unfortunatelly, I don't tell you how to get Above and Below Properties via parameters, because I don't have a project to test. But you can easily determine parameters using BuiltInParameter Checker
Hope it helps.
I just download the Iron JS and after doing some 2/3 simple programs using the Execute method, I am looking into the ExecuteFile method.
I have a Test.js file whose content is as under
function Add(a,b)
{
var result = a+b;
return result;
}
I want to invoke the same from C# using Iron JS. How can I do so? My code so far
var o = new IronJS.Hosting.CSharp.Context();
dynamic loadFile = o.ExecuteFile(#"d:\test.js");
var result = loadFile.Add(10, 20);
But loadfile variable is null (path is correct)..
How to invoke JS function ,please help... Also searching in google yielded no help.
Thanks
The result of the execution is going to be null, because your script does not return anything.
However, you can access the "globals" object after the script has run to grab the function.
var o = new IronJS.Hosting.CSharp.Context();
o.ExecuteFile(#"d:\test.js");
dynamic globals = o.Globals;
var result = globals.Add(10, 20);
EDIT: That particular version will work with the current master branch, and in an up-coming release, but is not quite what we have working with the NuGet package. The slightly more verbose version that works with IronJS version 0.2.0.1 is:
var o = new IronJS.Hosting.CSharp.Context();
o.ExecuteFile(#"d:\test.js");
var add = o.Globals.GetT<FunctionObject>("Add");
var result = add.Call(o.Globals, 10D, 20D).Unbox<double>();
