I want to display a list of friends, and when i select a friend my app will navigate to another page showing this informations related to this friend.
I'm trying to read data using web service and display some of it(name and photo) on a costumized lisBox, and store some (id) temporarily in a list or collection that i can call it after and use it in my url:
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/MyApp;component/FriendDetails.xaml?id{0}",friend_id, UriKind.Relative));
Use WebService to query the api and you need to add a "download callback" in that callback use linq to write the result of the query to an observable collection of an object matching the data you want from the result.
like this.
friends = new ObservableCollection<Friend>();
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
wc.OpenReadCompleted += Feed;
wc.OpenReadAsync(new Uri(friendsURL));
}
private void Feed(object Sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Error != null){
return;
}
using (Stream s = e.result){
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(s);
then use Linq to cycle through the data and add it your observablecollection of friends.

Epicor ERP 10.2.500 has been recently released with the addition of Epicor Functions. They can be called from within Method and Data Directives.
Do anybody has been able to do so with a Form Customization within Epicor?
This is possible via a REST call to your function API. In this case, I had a function that sent an email from some inputs.
private void epiButtonC1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
{
//API Key is included in the query param in this example.
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://{appserver}/{EpicorInstance}/api/v2/efx/{CompanyID}/{LibraryID}/{functionName}/?api-key={yourAPIKey}");
request.Method = "POST";
//All REST v2 requests also sent with authentication method (Token, Basic)
//This should be Base64 encoded
string username = "userName";
string password = "passWord";
string encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
//Add body to correspond to request signature
request.ContentType = "application/json";
using(var writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
var values = new Dictionary<string, string>;
{
{"toEmailAddress", "someEmail#email.com"},
{"fromEmailAddress","someOtherEmail#email.com"},
{"body","This is the body"},
{"subject","Hello from Client Code!"}
};
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(values);
writer.Write(json);
}
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
var result = reader.ReadToEnd();
epiTextBoxC1.Text = result.ToString();
}
}
Haven't done it myself personally, but looking into the first post release notes about it here leads me to believe there is no out of the box solution, yet in this version/initial release.
However I'm sure you could do a HTTP request from within the Epicor customization if you have the REST API enabled in your environment.
If you create your own dll that calls the EpicorFunction you can use it within the customization. Still looking for a way to call them directly.
REST endpoint is the recommended way to perform the function call as pointed out by a-moreng.
If for some reason you cannot use this, you can use a passthrough method to any server-side BO via a customization Adapter. For instance, create an updatable BAQ which you can call from a customization using the DynamicQueryAdapter.
Pick an arbitrary table and field to save the BAQ.
Create three string parameters to store the Function library name, the function name, and a delimited list of parameters.
On the GetList method, create a Base Processing Directive.
Split your delimited parameter list and convert them to the appropriate datatypes.
Use the resulting variables to call your function.
If desired, you can pass return variables into the ttResults of the BAQ
Please be patient and Do Not flag this as duplicate: Using the Rally REST API, how can I get the non-API (website) URL for a user story?
I want to be able to generate a link for the user story.
Something like this: https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/-/detail/userstory/*********
As opposed to this: https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/hierarchicalrequirement/88502329352
The link will be integrated into another application for the managers to see the user story.
I did read about the getDetailUrl() method, but in my case I am creating the user stories by parsing email and linking that to a notification service in Slack.
I am aware of the formattedID and (_ref), but I would have to query for it again, and I am creating batches of userstories through a loop. I need the actual web site link to the user story.
Here is my sample code:
public void CreateUserStory(string workspace, string project, string userstoryName){
//authenticate with Rally
this.EnsureRallyIsAuthenticated();
//DynamicJsonObject for HierarchicalRequirement
DynamicJsonObject toCreate = new DynamicJsonObject();
toCreate[RallyConstant.WorkSpace] = workspace;
toCreate[RallyConstant.Project] = project;
toCreate[RallyConstant.Name] = userstoryName;
try
{
//Create the User Story Here
CreateResult createUserStory = _api.Create(RallyConstant.HierarchicalRequirement, toCreate);
Console.WriteLine("Created Userstory: " + "URL LINK GOES HERE");
}
catch (WebException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
We don't have a method in the .NET toolkit for doing this, but it's easy to create.
The format is this:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/#/detail/<type>/<objectid>
Just fill in the type (hierarchicalrequirement turns into userstory, but all the others are the same as the wsapi type) and the objectid from the object you just created.
var parameters = new NameValueCollection();
parameters["fetch"] = "FormattedID";
var toCreate = new DynamicJsonObject();
var createResult = restApi.create("hierarchicalrequirement", toCreate, parameters);
var type = Ref.getTypeFromRef(createResult.Reference);
var objectID = Ref.getOidFromRef(createResult.Reference);
var formattedID = createResult.Object["FormattedID"];
And you can specify fetch fields to be returned on the created object so you don't have to re-query for it.
I am trying to delete a file from a sharepoint document library.
My application is in C#, which uses the web services of sharepoint.
Would like to know how this can be done.
Thanks in advance.
Delete a Document in SharePoint using Web Services
1.Add Web Reference to http://[your site]/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx
2.You need Document ID, Library Name, and Url to the document to be deleted
var spWebServiceLists = "http://[your site]/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx";
var listService = new Lists
{
Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials,
Url = spWebServiceLists
};
string id = 10;
string library = #"Shared Documents";
string url = #"http://[your site]/Shared Documents/Test.docx";
string xml = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='Delete'>" +
"<Field Name='ID'>" + id + "</Field>" +
"<Field Name='FileRef'>" + HttpUtility.UrlDecode(url) + "</Field>" +
"</Method>";
/*Get Name attribute values (GUIDs) for list and view. */
System.Xml.XmlNode ndListView = listService.GetListAndView(library, "");
string strListID = ndListView.ChildNodes[0].Attributes["Name"].Value;
string strViewID = ndListView.ChildNodes[1].Attributes["Name"].Value;
/*Create an XmlDocument object and construct a Batch element and its
attributes. Note that an empty ViewName parameter causes the method to use the default view. */
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
System.Xml.XmlElement batchElement = doc.CreateElement("Batch");
batchElement.SetAttribute("OnError", "Continue");
batchElement.SetAttribute("ListVersion", "1");
batchElement.SetAttribute("ViewName", strViewID);
/*Specify methods for the batch post using CAML. To update or delete,
specify the ID of the item, and to update or add, specify
the value to place in the specified column.*/
batchElement.InnerXml = xml;
XmlNode item;
item = listService.UpdateListItems(library, batchElement);
I just tested this code and works well.

If you work with SharePoint 2010, you can use CSOM to access SharePoint web services. This link could be helpful to execute crud operations. If you work with SharePoint 2013 there is also CSOM API, it has similar funcitonality as in 2010.
I am creating items on the fly via Sitecore Web Service. So far I can create the items from this function:
AddFromTemplate
And I also tried this link: http://blog.hansmelis.be/2012/05/29/sitecore-web-service-pitfalls/
But I am finding it hard to access the fields. So far here is my code:
public void CreateItemInSitecore(string getDayGuid, Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader reader)
{
if (getDayGuid != null)
{
var sitecoreService = new EverBankCMS.VisualSitecoreService();
var addItem = sitecoreService.AddFromTemplate(getDayGuid, templateIdRTT, "Testing", database, myCred);
var getChildren = sitecoreService.GetChildren(getDayGuid, database, myCred);
for (int i = 0; i < getChildren.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
{
if (getChildren.ChildNodes[i].InnerText.ToString() == "Testing")
{
var getItem = sitecoreService.GetItemFields(getChildren.ChildNodes[i].Attributes[0].Value, "en", "1", true, database, myCred);
string p = getChildren.ChildNodes[i].Attributes[0].Value;
}
}
}
}
So as you can see I am creating an Item and I want to access the Fields for that item.
I thought that GetItemFields will give me some value, but finding it hard to get it. Any clue?
My advice would be to not use the VSS (Visual Sitecore Service), but write your own service specifically for the thing you want it to do.
This way is usually more efficient because you can do exactly the thing you want, directly inside the service, instead of making a lot of calls to the VSS and handle your logic on the clientside.
For me, this has always been a better solution than using the VSS.
I am assuming you are looking to find out what the fields looks like and what the field IDs are.
You can call GetXml with the ID, it returns the item and all the versions and fields set in it, it won't show fields you haven't set.
I'm working on an app that requires extracting data from an xml web service, then I want to store that data (images+titles+datetime ...) to display it on my app then select an item and navigate to another page that displays more info about this item.
Is there a detailed tutorial that explains the parsing and storing process clearly (with the threads) because I'm gonna need it a lot for my app.Thanks!
I usually use this method, but didn't always get me what i want:
var doc = XDocument.Load(new StringReader(e.Result));
var items = from c in doc.Descendants("item")
select new RSSitem()
{
Title = c.Element("title").Value,
Photo = c.Element("img").Attribute("src").Value,
Description = c.Element("description").Value,
Link = c.Element("link").Value,
};
ListBoxNews.ItemsSource = items;
Sounds like you are in over your head (based on the vague nature of your question). So I'm offering my advise to get up to speed, so you can get started and ask a question that we can help give a definitive answer to.
With WP7 and .NET you shouldn't really have to do much manual parsing of Web Services. You should be able to add a Service Reference and generate a proxy which will handle this for you. This will also generate business objects for the data returned by your service.
Once you have that done, you can look into Windows Phone Navigation which should help you transition between pages in your application.
To consume web services:
String baseUri = “your service URI";
WebClient wc = new WebClient();
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_downloadstringcompleted);
// event handler that will handle the ‘downloadstringsompleted’ event
wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(baseUri));
// this method will download your string URI asynchronously
}
void wc_downloadstringcompleted(Object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// method will get fired after URI download completes
// writes your every code here
}
To parse the data:
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlString)))
{
while (reader.Read())
{
switch (reader.NodeType)
{
case XmlNodeType.Element:
break;
case XmlNodeType.Text:
break;
case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
break;
}
}
}
}
