Last week I was struggling with the UPLOAD statement. First of all, I always need some twisted thinking here: the code is running on the Service Tier, but DOWNLOAD doesn’t mean that you download a file to the server. And UPLOAD doesn’t mean that your code on the server will send a file to the Role Tailored Client.
In Dynamics NAV 2009 in RTC client if you are accessing files located on network machines, these files can be accessed when each service is running on single machine, when SQL and NST are on same machine (2 tier) or each service is running on separate machine (3 tier).
By using the Automation “‘Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation’.Shell” you can unzip a file within Dynamics NAV.
In this blog you will find attached a very simple usage of .NET interoperability with Dynamics NAV 2009 R2 with the objective of basic file management (move, copy, open, delete) WITHOUT using the FILE virtual table and is intended just to familiarize with this brand new feature proposed with NAV 2009 R2 release.
