I'm a relative newbie to this although I making decent progress punctuated with a a few hours here of despair.
I currently have a custom object being part populated through the API - I then have written the following class which goes away to an external API and pulls back some more fields completed the data - and it works well. But at when I went live with this I wasn't too up on test methods. As such, the class has not got any and thankfully due to the pre-installed packages from Salesforce I am just hovering above 75% through pure luck.
As such, I have this in production and luckily working with triggers but I now need to update the test method or I can't deploy some updated functionality - if anyone have used the deployment functionality you will know what I mean.
Here's the class ignore the test at the bottom - that was purely to get trigger above 0%. My code coverage on the class for this is 0%.
Can you give me some pointers on the following code? Now I've seen the apex instructions on breaking your callouts in 3 sections but I can't seem to make that fit.
Any thoughts - any suggestions welcome... like I said currently at 0%....

I am making future calls from APEX code and need to know when the calls complete so I can do other processing. If I use the GUI of Salesforce I can go to the Setup area and under 'Monitoring', I can use the 'Apex Jobs' selection to see the job is processing and if it completed.
Reason being, my APEX code breaks the future calls up into batches. I usually end up doing 3 future calls, but need to know all three have completed before I can continue with some DML operations.
How can I get the future call status information programatically within my code?
Hi, I have written a program in .NET that logins in to Sales Force and extracts data and reformats it in an excel file. It works fine when run from the command line or within windows, but I want to run it within SalesForce. Most probably create some type of s-control. The main reason I would like to run it within SalesForce is because the user will already be authenticated, so it makes it easier for them to just click a button/link.
Is there any samples/codes that I can be pointed to or any suggestions?
I have written an S-Control that shows me some Opportunity info and related Account Info. I have added it to a button on my Opportunity Layout screen. When I click this button, I want to use the Opportunity ID from the accoaciated 'Opportunity' to get the info from the Account.
The query is:
sforce.connection.query("SELECT Id, StageName, Core_Consumer_Rep__c, Core_PhPromo_Rep__c, Account.Id, Account.Name, Account.Lead_Core_Consumer__c, Account.Lead_Core_PhPromo__c FROM Opportunity WHERE StageName='Pending' AND Id = ????????? LIMIT 20", callback);
So how do I get the Id value of the Opportunity that I clicked the button from?

I am amazed on how difficult I find it to set a checkbox to it's value.
Using a simple x = true on a custom field (checkbox) on 1 custom object, and I get nothing correct.
code is c#
Code:
private static void createLicense()
{
if (!loggedIn())
return;
try
{
//Create an account object to send to the service
sforce.OptiTex_License__c license = new sforce.OptiTex_License__c();
//Set several properties
license.X1_Marker__c = true;
license.X2_Grading__c = false;
//license.X4_Light_version__c.
// Add the account to an array of SObjects
sforce.sObject[] records = new sforce.sObject[] { license };
// Invoke the create call, passing in the account properties
// and saving the results in a SaveResult object
sforce.SaveResult[] saveResults = binding.create(records);
// Access the new ID
String newID = saveResults[0].id;
Console.WriteLine(newID.ToString());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + "\n" + e.StackTrace);
return;
}
}
I tried both true or false , 0, 1 (which offcourse failed cause it's a boolean and not int field.
I have written an S-Control that shows me some Opportunity info and related Account Info. I have added it to a button on my Opportunity Layout screen. When I click this button, I want to use the Opportunity ID from the accoaciated 'Opportunity' to get the info from the Account.
The query is:
sforce.connection.query("SELECT Id, StageName, Core_Consumer_Rep__c, Core_PhPromo_Rep__c, Account.Id, Account.Name, Account.Lead_Core_Consumer__c, Account.Lead_Core_PhPromo__c FROM Opportunity WHERE StageName='Pending' AND Id = ????????? LIMIT 20", callback);
So how do I get the Id value of the Opportunity that I clicked the button from?
