Method Community

I totally feel your pain because I am in the same boat. There are some folks here on the forum who are trying to be helpful (Dave from Method being one), but often I find we are not speaking the same language. I suspect the biggest problem is that Method people have never really had to use their API to solve real business problems, so they are not ...

Hi, I'm finding that a handful of our customers that are having trouble logging into the Portal, are using a MAC (and I'm assuming Safari - but can't say for sure).  The error message they get is something like this:   "Portal name was not specified in the URL - Please check the URL prvided and try again" Any ...

Hi ImTheirWebIT I'd have to say that I've gotten great support from these guys. Have you tried using MethodAPISelect_XMLV2 instead of the DataSet Select? Instead of returning a .Net object it returns raw xml. From Method's API documentation here's an example xml response for the Select_XMLV2 method <?xml ...

Thanks, Dave, but aside from learning that Like is supported and joins are not, that just wasn't very helpful. I've used all the documentation at http://www.methodintegration.com/Method-API-for-QuickBooks-CRM.aspx, but don't see much in the way of actual data examples in there. You offer some code examples in .Net and VBA, and ...

Hi Matt and ImTheirWebGuy, Good catch Matt. ImTheirWebGuy you're gonna want to look at the documentation here http://www.methodintegration.com/Method-API-for-QuickBooks-CRM.aspx - like is supported - (referr ing to t he documentation) datReturnedDataSet is a dataset passed in by reference....see my example above for the c# ...

Hi Matt! OK, that solved the initial error message. Now, how do I use the rest of the fields?  - Can I use a "Like" operator in the strWhereClause (or any other fuzzy operator?)  - Putting any value at all in datReturnedDataSet causes an error; what's the syntax for value in this field?  - Since ...

Try using CompanyName='4th' with single quotes instead of double quotes.

I'm not asking anything about code at all. What I need is an XML package example. Your C# there generates an XML package which posts against the API endpoint. Can you execute that code snippet, and paste the actual XML package generated by it? Thanks!

Hi ImTheirWebGuy, We are a .Net not a php shop...so I don't have a php example to give you. I'm gonna suggest googling php to call a webservice...note its an .asmx not an .svc   The following is a C# example that will retrieve recordid and companyname where the companyname is 4th from the vendor table System.Data.DataSet ...

There don't seem to be any examples for what the XML package should look like for this function, and I've had zero success trying to post a test package. Here's an example: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/" ...
