Nick, would it at all be possible to get a full example of how this works at basic level even if it is just to populate one <field> in one <custom> object.
I come from an ASP background and I am still learning the .NET architecture. I realise there are numerous eg: .net login examples but a fully threaded example would be a huge starter leap for me and I am sure others.
One of the things I am struggling with is how to mix the .net eg grid controls with the sfdc code....
Would you be able to provide a sample INSERT example from start to finish in perhaps .ASP net.
Any further progress I make on the app I will post back to help other newbies.
Thanks
Jason
Although I have been doing asp development for many years now (over 7), I am not fully up to speed on ASP .NET 2.0. But, I have built and demo'd at AppExchange seminars an ASP .NET web to custom object solution.
It feels like as ASP .NET progresses you get more locked into a particular pattern of developing web pages that varies from release to release. In the latest version, for instance, you can create data bound forms for displaying data as well as entering and editing data. This works pretty well with a database and is not entirely new. What is new is that you can use a local web service as a datasource for both read/write data bound forms.
In the solution that I came up with, I just create a local web service that actually calls the AppExchange web service to provide records and to update and create records. It works pretty well and you can bind this to the widgets that .NET provides. For instance, in my app I have a custom object called candidates and I want to create that object using a form on an ASP .NET web site.
I created the following local web service:
Code:
This local web service is used as the datasource for form databinding.
Code:
Then later in the page, the datasource is bound to the input elements:
Code:
The full Utils class is shown below:
