TypeHelper.SetBlobString and TypeHelper.ReadBlob doesn't exist in Wave 2

dkatson Profile Picture dkatson 2,263

During preparation for the #DirectionsEMEA i moved my demos to the Wave 2 and found that TypeHelper.SetBlobString and TypeHelper.ReadBlob doesn't exist in Wave 2. 

Searched here and found this walkthrough

Well, not very helpful.

That is the real solution, that works for me.

TypeHelper.SetBlobString

Original code was

    procedure SetRestaurantModel(ModelAsText: Text)
    var
        TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";
        RecordRef: RecordRef;
    begin
        RecordRef.GetTable(Rec);
        TypeHelper.SetBlobString(RecordRef, FieldNo("My Model"), ModelAsText);
        RecordRef.SetTable(Rec);
    end;

Wave 2 compatible code

    procedure SetRestaurantModel(ModelAsText: Text)
    var
        OutStream: OutStream;
    begin
        "My Model".CreateOutStream(OutStream, TextEncoding::UTF8);
        OutStream.Write(ModelAsText);
    end;

TypeHelper.ReadBlob

Original code was

    procedure GetRestaurantModel(): Text
    var
        TypeHelper: Codeunit "Type Helper";
        BlobFieldRef: FieldRef;
        RecordRef: RecordRef;
    begin
        RecordRef.GetTable(Rec);
        BlobFieldRef := RecordRef.Field(FieldNo("My Model"));
        exit(TypeHelper.ReadBlob(BlobFieldRef));
    end;

Wave 2 compatible code

    procedure GetRestaurantModel() Content: Text
    var
        TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
        InStream: InStream;
    begin
        TempBlob.FromRecord(Rec, FieldNo("My Model"));
        TempBlob.CreateInStream(InStream, TextEncoding::UTF8);
        InStream.Read(Content);
    end;

Where to search for the inspiration?

Many of the workarounds about how-to-make-your-code-compatible-with-wave-2 could be found in Business Central source files itself.

For this current example I got the inspiration from the Late Payment Prediction source code
