How to read the unit price of an Item with IPP DevKit - intuit-partner-platform

I've seen elsewhere how to set the UnitPrice on an Item, using the wiley and elusive Item1 field as Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money. But how do I READ the unit price from the Item1 field? I can't cast it. The new operator doesn't work ("new ...Money(myItem.Item1)"). So how do I get the price?
I realize the DevKit will probably never be changed so this makes sense. But can we at least get some doc explaining all those strange "xxxItemxxx" fields?

ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(oauthValidator, realmId, intuitServiceType);
DataServices commonService = new DataServices(context);
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Item qbdItem = new Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Item();
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money unitPrice = new Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money();
unitPrice.Amount = 22;
unitPrice.AmountSpecified = true;
qbdItem.Item1 = unitPrice;
IEnumerable<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Item> qbdItemsResult = commonService.FindAll(qbdItem, 1, 10) as IEnumerable<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Item>;
foreach (var itemResult in qbdItemsResult)
{
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money test1UnitPrice = itemResult.Item1 as Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money;
}
You can use the above code for .Net.

Response XML of Item entity suggests that 'UntiPrice' is a top level tag.
I tried this usecase using java. PFB code.
QBItemService itemService = QBServiceFactory.getService(context,QBItemService.class);
items = itemService.findAll(context,1, 100);
for (QBItem item : items) {
System.out.println("Name - " + item.getName() + " UnitPrice - " + item.getUnitPrice().getAmount());
Can you please try the same in .Net and let me know if it works in the same way.
Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbd.Money [ getAmount() ]
Thanks

Build dynamic LINQ queries from a string - Use Reflection?

I have some word templates(maybe thousands). Each template has merge fields which will be filled from database. I don`t like writing separate code for every template and then build the application and deploy it whenever a template is changed or a field on the template is added!
Instead, I'm trying to define all merge fields in a separate xml file and for each field I want to write the "query" which will be called when needed. EX:
mergefield1 will call query "Case.Parties.FirstOrDefault.NameEn"
mergefield2 will call query "Case.CaseNumber"
mergefield3 will call query "Case.Documents.FirstOrDefault.DocumentContent.DocumentType"
Etc,
So, for a particular template I scan its merge fields, and for each merge field I take it`s "query definition" and make that request to database using EntityFramework and LINQ. Ex. it works for these queries: "TimeSlots.FirstOrDefault.StartDateTime" or
"Case.CaseNumber"
This will be an engine which will generate word documents and fill it with merge fields from xml. In addition, it will work for any new template or new merge field.
Now, I have worked a version using reflection.
public string GetColumnValueByObjectByName(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> filter = null, string objectName = "", string dllName = "", string objectID = "", string propertyName = "")
{
string objectDllName = objectName + ", " + dllName;
Type type = Type.GetType(objectDllName);
Guid oID = new Guid(objectID);
dynamic Entity = context.Set(type).Find(oID); // get Object by Type and ObjectID
string value = ""; //the value which will be filled with data from database
IEnumerable<string> linqMethods = typeof(System.Linq.Enumerable).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public).Select(s => s.Name).ToList(); //get all linq methods and save them as list of strings
if (propertyName.Contains('.'))
{
string[] properies = propertyName.Split('.');
dynamic object1 = Entity;
IEnumerable<dynamic> Child = new List<dynamic>();
for (int i = 0; i < properies.Length; i++)
{
if (i < properies.Length - 1 && linqMethods.Contains(properies[i + 1]))
{
Child = type.GetProperty(properies[i]).GetValue(object1, null);
}
else if (linqMethods.Contains(properies[i]))
{
object1 = Child.Cast<object>().FirstOrDefault(); //for now works only with FirstOrDefault - Later it will be changed to work with ToList or other linq methods
type = object1.GetType();
}
else
{
if (linqMethods.Contains(properies[i]))
{
object1 = type.GetProperty(properies[i + 1]).GetValue(object1, null);
}
else
{
object1 = type.GetProperty(properies[i]).GetValue(object1, null);
}
type = object1.GetType();
}
}
value = object1.ToString(); //.StartDateTime.ToString();
}
return value;
}
I`m not sure if this is the best approach. Does anyone have a better suggestion, or maybe someone has already done something like this?
To shorten it: The idea is to make generic linq queries to database from a string like: "Case.Parties.FirstOrDefault.NameEn".
Your approach is very good. I have no doubt that it already works.
Another approach is using Expression Tree like #Egorikas have suggested.
Disclaimer: I'm the owner of the project Eval-Expression.NET
In short, this library allows you to evaluate almost any C# code at runtime (What you exactly want to do).
I would suggest you use my library instead. To keep the code:
More readable
Easier to support
Add some flexibility
Example
public string GetColumnValueByObjectByName(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> filter = null, string objectName = "", string dllName = "", string objectID = "", string propertyName = "")
{
string objectDllName = objectName + ", " + dllName;
Type type = Type.GetType(objectDllName);
Guid oID = new Guid(objectID);
object Entity = context.Set(type).Find(oID); // get Object by Type and ObjectID
var value = Eval.Execute("x." + propertyName, new { x = entity });
return value.ToString();
}
The library also allow you to use dynamic string with IQueryable

IPP v3 Invoice QueryService not working with Skip/Take when using non-default fields

I'm trying to query invoices using the .NET IPP DevKit v3.
Following all the directions found on the documentation site, I can query invoices and add skip/take/order by/where/etc to the query when using ONLY default fields. But, as soon as I add non-default fields, skip/take/order by/where/etc does NOT seem to work.
Here's the error:
System.ArgumentException was unhandled
HResult=-2147024809
Message=Expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[<>f__AnonymousType0`3[Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice,Intuit.Ipp.Data.Line[],Intuit.Ipp.Data.LinkedTxn[]]]' cannot be used for parameter of type 'System.Linq.IQueryable`1[<>f__AnonymousType0`3[Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice,Intuit.Ipp.Data.Line[],Intuit.Ipp.Data.LinkedTxn[]]]' of method 'System.Linq.IQueryable`1[<>f__AnonymousType0`3[Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice,Intuit.Ipp.Data.Line[],Intuit.Ipp.Data.LinkedTxn[]]] Skip[<>f__AnonymousType0`3](System.Linq.IQueryable`1[<>f__AnonymousType0`3[Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice,Intuit.Ipp.Data.Line[],Intuit.Ipp.Data.LinkedTxn[]]], Int32)'
Source=System.Core
What am I missing here?
Code:
string AppToken = "your AppToken goes here";
string AppConsumerKey = "your AppConsumerKey goes here";
string AppConsumerKeySecret = "your AppConsumerKeySecret goes here";
string AccessToken = "your AccessToken goes here";
string AccessTokenSecret = "your AccessTokenSecret goes here";
string RealmCompanyId = "your RealmId goes here";
OAuthRequestValidator oauthValidator = new OAuthRequestValidator(AccessToken, AccessTokenSecret, AppConsumerKey, AppConsumerKeySecret);
ServiceContext context = new ServiceContext(AppToken, RealmCompanyId, IntuitServicesType.QBD, oauthValidator);
QueryService<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice> qs = new QueryService<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice>(context);
// This works...
var defaultQuery = qs.Select(c => c).Skip(0).Take(10).OrderBy(c => c.Id);
var defaultList = defaultQuery.ToList();
// This works...
var nonDefaultQuery = qs.Select(c => new { c, c.Line, c.LinkedTxn });
var nonDefaultList = nonDefaultQuery.ToList();
// This does NOT work!!
var nonDefaultQueryWithSkip = qs.Select(c => new { c, c.Line, c.LinkedTxn }).Skip(0).Take(10);
var nonDefaultListWithSkip = nonDefaultQueryWithSkip.ToList();
I tried on the API explorer-
Select *,Line.*, LinkedTxn.* FROM Invoice startPosition 1 maxResults 10 (which is your last query) and it works fine but not from .net sdk. I will double check this on the .net SDK and get back to you. Can you verify that you get the correct results on API explorer from this query?
This now works in the latest version (IppDotNetSdkForQuickBooksApiV3.2.0.0)
Here's an example:
QueryService<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice> qs = new QueryService<Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice>(context);
string query = string.Format("SELECT *, Line.* FROM Invoice ORDERBY Id STARTPOSITION {0} MAXRESULTS {1}", startPos, pageSize);
var recs = qs.ExecuteIdsQuery(query);
foreach (Intuit.Ipp.Data.Invoice rec in recs)
{
// do stuff...
}

Trying to insert QBO invoice with IPP.NET

I am attempting to insert an invoice into Quickbooks Online using IPP.NET. The problem seems to be in setting the item.
Here is a snippet of my VB code for the first line, which works fine...
Dim qboInvoiceLine1 as new intuit.ipp.data.qbo.invoiceline
qboInvoiceline1.desc="Desc1"
qboInvoiceLine1.amount=10
qboInvoiceLine1.AmountSpecified=True
If I add the following code for setting the item, I get an error forming the XML...
Dim items1 as List(Of Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.Item)=New List(Of Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.Item)
Dim item1 as new intuit.ipp.data.qbo.item
item1.id=new intuit.ipp.data.qbo.idtype
item1.id.value="1"
items1.add(item1)
qboInvoiceLine1.Items=items1.ToArray
I do not even understand why the item ID seems to be some kind of array or list of items. One source of documentation suggests there is an itemID property of the invoice line, but this does not seem to be the case. Can anyone give me code for setting the itemID for an invoice line?
ItemsChoiceType2[] invoiceItemAttributes = { ItemsChoiceType2.ItemId, ItemsChoiceType2.UnitPrice,ItemsChoiceType2.Qty };
object[] invoiceItemValues = { new IdType() { idDomain = idDomainEnum.QB, Value = "5" }, new decimal(33), new decimal(2) };
var invoiceLine = new InvoiceLine();
invoiceLine.Amount = 66;
invoiceLine.AmountSpecified = true;
invoiceLine.Desc = "test " + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
invoiceLine.ItemsElementName = invoiceItemAttributes;
invoiceLine.Items = invoiceItemValues;
invoiceLine.ServiceDate = DateTime.Now;
invoiceLine.ServiceDateSpecified = true;
listLine.Add(invoiceLine);

How to search Multiple Sites using Lucene Search engine API?

Hope that someone can help me as soon as possible :-)
I would like to know how can we search Multiple Sites using Lucene??! (All sites are in one index).
I have succeeded to search one website, and to index multiple sites, however I am not able to search all websites.
Consider this method that I have:
private void PerformSearch()
{
DateTime start = DateTime.Now;
//Create the Searcher object
string strIndexDir = Server.MapPath("index") + #"\" + mstrURL;
IndexSearcher objSearcher = new IndexSearcher(strIndexDir);
//Parse the query, "text" is the default field to search
Query objQuery = QueryParser.Parse(mstrQuery, "text", new StandardAnalyzer());
//Create the result DataTable
mobjDTResults.Columns.Add("title", typeof(string));
mobjDTResults.Columns.Add("path", typeof(string));
mobjDTResults.Columns.Add("score", typeof(string));
mobjDTResults.Columns.Add("sample", typeof(string));
mobjDTResults.Columns.Add("explain", typeof(string));
//Perform search and get hit count
Hits objHits = objSearcher.Search(objQuery);
mintTotal = objHits.Length();
//Create Highlighter
QueryHighlightExtractor highlighter = new QueryHighlightExtractor(objQuery, new StandardAnalyzer(), "<B>", "</B>");
//Initialize "Start At" variable
mintStartAt = GetStartAt();
//How many items we should show?
int intResultsCt = GetSmallerOf(mintTotal, mintMaxResults + mintStartAt);
//Loop through results and display
for (int intCt = mintStartAt; intCt < intResultsCt; intCt++)
{
//Get the document from resuls index
Document doc = objHits.Doc(intCt);
//Get the document's ID and set the cache location
string strID = doc.Get("id");
string strLocation = "";
if (mstrURL.Substring(0,3) == "www")
strLocation = Server.MapPath("cache") +
#"\" + mstrURL + #"\" + strID + ".htm";
else
strLocation = doc.Get("path") + doc.Get("filename");
//Load the HTML page from cache
string strPlainText;
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(strLocation, System.Text.Encoding.Default))
{
strPlainText = ParseHTML(sr.ReadToEnd());
}
//Add result to results datagrid
DataRow row = mobjDTResults.NewRow();
if (mstrURL.Substring(0,3) == "www")
row["title"] = doc.Get("title");
else
row["title"] = doc.Get("filename");
row["path"] = doc.Get("path");
row["score"] = String.Format("{0:f}", (objHits.Score(intCt) * 100)) + "%";
row["sample"] = highlighter.GetBestFragments(strPlainText, 200, 2, "...");
Explanation objExplain = objSearcher.Explain(objQuery, intCt);
row["explain"] = objExplain.ToHtml();
mobjDTResults.Rows.Add(row);
}
objSearcher.Close();
//Finalize results information
mTsDuration = DateTime.Now - start;
mintFromItem = mintStartAt + 1;
mintToItem = GetSmallerOf(mintStartAt + mintMaxResults, mintTotal);
}
As you can see that I use the site URL mstrURL when I create the search object
string strIndexDir = Server.MapPath("index") + #"\" + mstrURL;
How can I do the same when I want to search multiple sites??
Actually I am using this code.
Combine each of your site's Searcher within a MultiSearcher

Dynamic Linq Library Guid exceptions

I am having a problem with the Dynamic Linq Library. I get a the following error "ParserException was unhandled by user code ')" or ','". I have a Dicitionary and I want to create a query based on this dictionary. So I loop through my dictionary and append to a string builder "PersonId = (GUID FROM DICTIONARY). I think the problem is were I append to PersonId for some reason I can't seem to convert my string guid to a Guid so the dynamic library don't crash.
I have tried this to convert my string guid to a guid, but no luck.
query.Append("(PersonId = Guid(" + person.Key + ")");
query.Append("(PersonId = " + person.Key + ")");
I am using VS 2010 RTM and RIA Services as well as the Entity Framework 4.
//This is the loop I use
foreach (KeyValuePair<Guid, PersonDetails> person in personsDetails)
{
if ((person.Value as PersonDetails).IsExchangeChecked)
{
query.Append("(PersonId = Guid.Parse(" + person.Key + ")");
}
}
//Domain service call
var query = this.ObjectContext.Persons.Where(DynamicExpression.ParseLambda<Person, bool>(persons));
Please help, and if you know of a better way of doing this I am open to suggestions.
For GUID comparison with dynamic linq use query properties and the Equals() method like in the provided sample.
var items = new[]
{
new { Id = Guid.Empty },
new { Id = Guid.NewGuid() },
new { Id = Guid.NewGuid() },
new { Id = Guid.NewGuid() }
};
var result = items.AsQueryable()
.Where("Id.Equals(#0)", Guid.Empty)
.Any();
Use a parameterized query, e.g.:
var query = this.ObjectContext.Persons.Where(
"PersonId = #1", new [] { person.Key } );
Did you try(notice the extra ')' ).
query.Append("(PersonId = Guid(" + person.Key + "))");
