WEB CLIENT Browsing for a file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jose Manuel Sola 90

Hi !!!

I'm trying browse for a file using the File Management codeunit functions (Codeunit 419) but these functions use .NET variables 'Run on client' and this is a limitation in the web client.

How could i browse for a file in the web client?

Thanks in advance !!!!

    You can use the Upload function:

    [View:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/upload-function--file-]

    Or FileManagement.UploadFile

    Thanks Stefano,  this works !!!!, This function loads the file to the server and from there you can select it ... but if I want to select a folder on the local computer. What could I use?

    Thanks in advance again!!

    No native function for selecting only a folder in web client if I remember correctly.

    Jose, You can still use the FileManagement UploadFile function to upload but it gives the server file, there are few functions in the File Managment to check if it is Web Client or not or even to check if the client can run Dot Net or not. CanRunDotNetOnClient

    Check codeunit 9170 for examples.
