Well said Thomas [Y]
XMLDOM definately gives you more direct control, and if you use it all the time I guess it could be faster. Personally I like XMLPorts because to me they are easier to create and it is much easier to move the structure around. I just like it better to have the elements in an XMLPort layout than trying to decipher it over pages and pages of code. On the other hand, there’s something to be said to have it all lay out in C/AL code instead of in properties buried inside another object. I’ve worked with both, I like XMLPorts for their simplicity, and I like XMLDOM for its control. That’s why I suggested an approach that uses both.
