Hi All,

I have created contract class which consist string parm method. I am using this contract class for JSON searilization and then passing data to third party application. As per the requirement all the blank string values should be assign null value and json output should be like:

{

/name/: null

}

I have tried passing null value to method in the case output is coming like as below:

{

/name/:/ /

}

Please guide how I can achieve this. Thanks.

Hi,

Try the below code:

static void Job5(Args _args) { System.String nullStr; nullStr = CLRInterop::Null("System.String"); print CLRInterop::isInitialized(nullStr); print CLRInterop::isNull(nullStr); }

Based on this document:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.dynamics.ax.xpp.clrinterop.null

Thanks,

Hi,

Did you try to set the string with "null", give it a try and tell us the result.

Yes, I have tried passing value like:

classname.methodname(CLRInterop::Null("Null"));

in this case it is returning blank value.

If your methodname() method accepts str type and the backing variable is str too, it can't store null values. I don't know whether changing it to System.String will work, but it definitely can't work with str.
