Hello,
It's look like a very easy question... but i can't find correct answer...
What is the easiest way to serialize object to XML ??
Thank you in advance!!

Can you give us more information, please? There are quite a few ways, depending on what you're doing.
I declare class with several fields ... create an instance of class ...
E.G.
class Test {
str a;
int b;
}
I have to send to another system information about this object ... Doesnt matter how ... XML / JSON ...
As output and want to have a string That describes the object E.G. "<Classname =" test "itemid =" 12341234 "a =" bla bla "b = 102032>
and need to have solution wher as input and pass the instance and as output and get pages with XML / JSON ...
I know what serialization is, but I don't know your context.
For example, you can create the class in .NET, fill it from X++ via .NET Interop and then use the usual XML and JSON serializers in .NET. I can think of quite a few other approaches, but I can't say which one would be suitable for you needs.
Ok :) it's connected with events topic...
I have two systems e.g.(AX and CRM)...
And i want to make synchronization between the systems based on events...
I need in CRM only a few specyfic information...
So when something which is neede in CRM is INSTER/UPDATE/DELETE in AX i want to send that information to CRM...
I have class that handle event and i need te prepare information which will be send to DATA BUS.
I created classes for each entity which i want to synchronize e.g. (AXtoCRMproduct) and that class contains all fields which i want to send to CRM... When i handle event i create instance of class AXtoCRMproduct and fill all fields... Next i want to input that instance and get string witch XML/JSON which will be send to DATA BUS.
I created classes for entities because i want to have one single place which generate message... method which gets OBJECT and return string.
Then I would say that my suggested solution makes a good sense. Create AXtoCRMproduct in .NET (if you're not aware of it, you can add VS projects to AOT and AX can deploy them automatically, which makes things very convenient) and handle both serialization and communication in a .NET class library.
You mentioned C# in another thread - if you're more with C# than with AX, it has an extra advantage for you.
:) i could do it that way... if my boss accept that solution...
But now i have to do this fully in X++... The company which will be manage this solution in the future have only X++ developers and whole project must be done in X++...
I see the advantages :) but in my opinion in that case it wouldn't be possible...
I have to make XML/JSON in AX using X++ and generate string for that purpose...
I started witch xmlDocument and xmlElement and wanted to create my own parser... but it's look like wrong approach :)
I'm looking for something like Common.xml() but for objects :)
If the whole project must be in X++, how do they build reports, consume external web services, develop Enterprise Portal and so on? Such a requirement makes nov sense; it just says that they're not qualified to work on AX. They'll have a really hard time in AX 7...
Well, you can suggest developing XML and JSON serializer in X++, if they prefer spending days rather doing that to writing ten lines of code in C#. Using XmlDocument is possible, but resource-consuming and it won't help you with JSON.
If you use a search engine, you can find my blog post about using data contract serializer for X++ data contracts, but it personally wouldn't use in your case. Trust me that if I was able to develop it, I probably have some reasons for my recommendation against it.
Hehe you are used to work for hudge companies... which fully use functionality of AX.... :)
My project is for company which abandoned excel and change it to AX :) They didnt even heard about reports, EP :) I have to build solution based on X++ :)
I thought thaht there is built.in function for serialize objects... Similar to build-in xml() from Common class...
That's the first time in my life when I hear about a client not using reports. I have no idea how they use the system.\
I wonder why they're willing to pay for enterprise-scale ERP system if they don't need it. Will they be able to maintain it at all? For example, they need a SQL Server administrator.
Anyway, I gave some several suggestions, now it's up to you what you choose to do. In my opinion, anything that doesn't utilize existing serializers is a waste of resources, but maybe they're rich...
