I am migrating some spreadsheets from Excel 2003/WinXP to Excel 2010/Win7.
Some spreadsheets use the MS SOAP toolkit to retrieve data. MS drops the support of SOAP toolkit in Excel 2010. I am forced to move to MSXML2 library.
Anyone has done this sort of migration before? Is there any tips, suggestion or best practice?
Honestly, It's been ages since I used SOAP (Either in programming or other wise. I use GEL! LOL)
Ok Jokes apart! You are quite right that the SOAP toolkit is obsolete now. Since SOAP calls to web service are just a POST with some XML, you should be able to do convert it easily.
I would recommend going through this blog by jpsanders.

Do let me know if you are still stuck. Simply post the code with which you are stuck and we will take it from there.

Is is possible to do reporting (using crystal report or any third party tool) in .Net core with Postgres as a database?
I searched quite a lot but I couldn't find any solution to this. Need guidance in the right direction for this.
I would recommend choosing a reporting technology, which doesn't depend on your "technology stack" or vice versa.
I'm using SQL Server Reporting Services (which support many different database engines):
generate Reports via HTTP url access
embed Reports within Websites too
"manage" Reports via SOAP
In fact, everything happens using ordinary HTTP requests. I could be using any technology, which speaks HTTP...
I've no idea what you're trying to achieve ("do reporting" isn't that specific, you know ;)), but maybe it helps.
I'm looking to interact with my Microsoft Dynamics CRM system from my iPhone, performing tasks such as pulling down, updating, creating and deleting records.
Is this possible? If so, can anyone link me to any good resources on the matter or provide me with any information you feel would be relevant?
Many thanks,
Jack
Yes this will be possible and there are at least some relevant pointers in the CRM SDK (Development from Non-.NET Clients in Microsoft Dynamics CRM) however general support and anecdotal information is sparse (in fact the referenced topic and it's links are all that exist in an official sense).
You will be accessing via the SOAP endpoint and the link to the WSDL for that is exposed via the CRM UI (Settings > Customizations > Developer Resources).
I'd start with downloading the CRM SDK and reading the topics I linked to.
Caveat - I know nothing of Objective-C or IOS
I don't know anything about this, but maybe that'll help: http://www.cwrmobility.com/

It is possible, you'll need to use the web services API.
MSDN web services API docs
It uses JScript, so on the iPhone, you should use NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection to retrieve the data coming back.
Here is another link for using JSON, as iOS has a JSON parser built in now

I am a beginner at both iPhone programming and SQL, yet I have basic knowledge of them.
I am planning to do an application that would plot a graph from data taken from a database of the server of my company. I know how to plot, I know how to extract data from an sql table, but what I don't know is how to access the server.
So do I have to go through some kind of oracle-like application ?
This may seem like a very stupid question because it might not even be possible but any answer will be appreciated.
Thanks !
Go through a web service for example a PHP page that returns JSON (or XML, but JSON is easier to parse).
I can highly recommend this tutorial
Once you have your web service, you can use NSURLRequest/NSURLConnection to download the data and use a JSON framework to parse it. Or, if you're using XML you can use NSXMLParser.
See this apple code for more info on downloading using NSURLConnection.
The best way for this will be, using APIs at server end that handle the client request and perform database interaction, so transfer of data among device and server, take place through XMLs that will be secure as well as fast.
It is definitely possible to contact a server (I can't imagine what would happen without that!). What you are looking for is NSURLConnection. Have a look at the example provided by Apple.
There seems to be no available documentation for the Objective-C client for the Google Data API. Google's API help webpage only has options for .NET, Java, Python, and the HTTP Protocol. I want to access data from a spreadsheet on my Google Docs account, and then add new data.
I have added the correct source codes to my project as outlined in the GData Wiki, and am now completely lost. There are a ton of classes to sort through for Spreadsheets, and there are very few comments and I can't really tell by method names what does what.
If possible, can someone post a couple snippets of code to first access the available documents, then pick one of the choices, and then add information to a cell (like A1)?
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
Did you look at the spreadsheet sample?
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-objectivec-client/wiki/GDataObjCIntroduction
A year or so later, a page for just this: Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library
Generally, to create a new entry, you'll use an http POST to the feed's postLink. The Obj-C library service class provides POST operations as the method fetchEntryByInsertingEntry:
I believe creating a new spreadsheet still requires uploading a new document, as mentioned in the docs. You could create a simple CSV text file and upload that as a spreadsheet.
Note that there is a discussion group for users of the library.
