How to Fetch data from DotNet ManagementObjectCollection object ?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi guys

I am working in NAV-2013 R2 and using sample code to Change DefaultPrinter in C/AL using .net objects from http://www.punky.be/2017/01/31/change-default-printer-from-cal/

I have made some changes. The data types are

2017_2D00_03_2D00_28-10_5F00_15_5F00_12_2D00_DKLL8_5F00_TEST_5F00_NAV800-_2D00_-Microsoft-Dynamics-NAV-Development-Environment-_2D00_-_5B00_SetDefault.png

Here is the code sample

ManagementObjectSearcher := ManagementObjectSearcher.ManagementObjectSearcher('select * from win32_printer');
ManagementObjectCollection := ManagementObjectSearcher.Get();
ObjectArray := ObjectArray.CreateInstance(GETDOTNETTYPE(Object),1);

Count := ManagementObjectCollection.Count;

varArray := varArray.CreateInstance(ManagementObjectCollection.GetType(), Count);

//***

where varArray is DotNet array of type => System.Array.’mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089′
***//

ManagementObjectCollection.CopyTo(varArray, 0);

//*** On calling this COPYTO function I get error
I get an error message that call is ambiguous between following methods i.e.
=> CopyTo(ManagementBaseObject[], int)
and
=>CopyTo(System.Array, int)
***//

FOR i := 0 TO (Count - 1) DO 
BEGIN
  ManagementObject := varArray.GetValue(i);
  i := i + 1;
  IF FORMAT(ManagementObject.GetPropertyValue('Name')) = PrinterName THEN BEGIN
    ManagementObject.InvokeMethod('SetDefaultPrinter', ObjectArray);
    EXIT;
  END;   
END;


Can you tell me how to reterive the data from ManagementObjectCollection

    I fixed it by using Enumerator in NAV

    WITH ManagementObjectCollection DO BEGIN
      Enumerator := ManagementObjectCollection.GetEnumerator();
      WHILE(Enumerator.MoveNext()) DO
      BEGIN
        ManagementObject := Enumerator.Current; 
        PrinterNameTmp := FORMAT(ManagementObject.GetPropertyValue('Name'));    
        IF PrinterNameTmp = PrinterName THEN BEGIN
          ManagementObject.InvokeMethod('SetDefaultPrinter', ObjectArray);
          EXIT;
        END;  
      END;
    END;
