Hi,

What is the best tool to integerate NAV (4.0, 5.0 and 2009) with an asp.net e-commerce application.

Other than Cfront, is there is any tool available.

Please advise.

Thanks

With NAV 2009 then there is no doubt: Web Services

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the reply. If i want to develop a common integration module which can connect to all the versions of NAV (4,5 and 2009), then what is the best one?

Please let me know.

Then I’ll suggest that you take a look at one of the many 3-rd party modules already “out there”.

Hi Erik.

I’m an ASP.Net guy but, I don’t know much about Nav. My client would like me to make a web page for e-commerce using the data from their Nav database.

Can you recommend a starting point for me? Are the third party modules you mentioned here a viable option (for interacting with the DB)? Can you point me towards any specific vendors who sell these libraries?

Thanks!

Hi ,

You can build a message queue based communication that runs from NAS that is still there even for 2013 (v7).

However you could save loads of work if you go 2009 and above with web services.

Thanks!

Are there any tutorials or examples that you can point me towards for setting up the webservices on the NAV side? Can they be consumed with SOAP on the ASP.Net side?

I haven’t been able to find any ‘step by step’ examples.
