Preface

Chapter 3. Creating an Application Using NAV Web Services

In the previous chapter, we have seen how to configure and publish NAV objects as web services.

In this chapter, we want to create a small application with Visual Studio and C# in order to use a published NAV object as web service. The sample application will be a Windows console application that reads registered sales orders from NAV and permits to create new sales orders from outside the ERP.

In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:

  • Creating a C# console application that consumes NAV web services

  • Reading NAV entities via web services

  • Creating and modifying NAV entities via web services

  • Using NAV OData web services

  • Creating a cross-platform application
