A generic QuickBooks object, allowing users to extend the product's functionality.

Syntax

DPayments.InQB.Qbobject

Remarks

QBObject is implemented for extensibility, and allows the user to extend the functionality of the component set. The component handles the XML parsing and QuickBooks connection, and leaves it to the user to specify the list of properties to include.

QBObject may be used to implement any object supported by version 1.1 of the QuickBooks SDK. For example, it could be used to implement a transaction line item. The full list of objects and their properties is in the SDK documentation; users of QBObject should download and refer to the SDK documentation for this information.

To add an object to QuickBooks, first set ObjectName to the name of the object being implemented; for example, "ItemService". Then, set ObjectType to the type of object: "List" for a list item, or "Txn" for a transaction item. Then, specify each property in order using the AddProperty method. Finally, invoke Add.

To get an object, set ObjectName and ObjectType as before, and then invoke Get. The object's property values may then be inspected using GetProperty. The object may also be deleted by invoking Delete.

The component does not implement any knowledge of QuickBooks business rules, and simply constructs QBXML based on ObjectName, ObjectType, and the calls to AddProperty. If the component is unable to construct valid QBXML it will fail with an error.

The following pseudocode shows how to add a service line item to QuickBooks.

QBObject1.ObjectName = "ItemService" QBObject1.ObjectType = "Txn" QBObject1.AddProperty("Name", "Item name here") QBObject1.AddProperty("SalesOrPurchase", "<AccountRef><FullName>Account name here</FullName></AccountRef>") QBObject1.Add()

ObjectName Property (QBObject Component)

The name of the object.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string ObjectName { get; set; }

Public Property ObjectName As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The name of the object, exactly as found in the QuickBooks SDK documentation. Failure to set this property will result in an XML parser error.

ObjectType Property (QBObject Component)

The type of the object - generally List or Txn.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string ObjectType { get; set; }

Public Property ObjectType As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The type of the object: "List" for list items, or "Txn" for transaction items. Note that the name of the object's Id property determines the object type: List items have a "ListID" property, and transaction items have a "TxnID" property.

Failure to set this property will result in an XML parser error.

QBConnectionString Property (QBObject Component)

An aggregate consisting of various QuickBooks connection properties.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBConnectionString { get; set; }

Public Property QBConnectionString As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

QBConnectionString allows the user to customize the application's interaction with QuickBooks.

The connection properties should be formatted in a sequence as follows:

propertyname = "propertyvalue" propertyname = "propertyvalue" ...

The order is irrelevant, and the whitespace around the equal sign is optional.

The following properties are currently supported:

QBRequestAggregate Property (QBObject Component)

The request aggregate.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBRequestAggregate { get; set; }

Public Property QBRequestAggregate As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property will be populated when QBRequestMode is set to rmOffline and a method is called. This is used when working with the QBWCServer component to generate requests to be sent to QuickBooks Web Connector.

This property is not available at design time.

QBRequestId Property (QBObject Component)

The Id of the next message to be sent to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBRequestId { get; set; }

Public Property QBRequestId As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The next message Id to be sent to QuickBooks. Message Id's are used by CheckRequestStatus to check on the status of previously made requests.

This property allows the user to determine whether a previous request was successfully processed by QuickBooks. Ordinarily QuickBooks either processes requests successfully or returns an error, but in the event of a power outage or other system failure, QuickBooks might or might not have time to process a request before issuing a response.

QuickBooks stores internally a list of QBRequestIds for which it has processed a request, and updated its internal state accordingly. Use of this property in conjunction with CheckRequestStatus allows the user to query this internal list.

To enable error recovery, the user application should store the value of QBRequestId before submitting a request to QuickBooks. If a system failure occurs, CheckRequestStatus should be called with this value of QBRequestId to find whether the request was processed before the system failed.

Unique values for QBRequestId will be generated on startup and after each request to QuickBooks. The automatically generated value may be overwritten by the user. Error checking may be turned off by setting QBRequestId equal to the empty string. See CheckRequestStatus for more information on error recovery.

This property is not available at design time.

QBRequestMode Property (QBObject Component)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public QbobjectQBRequestModes QBRequestMode { get; set; }

enum QbobjectQBRequestModes {
  rmOnline,
  rmOffline
}

Public Property QBRequestMode As QbobjectQBRequestModes

Enum QbobjectQBRequestModes
  rmOnline
  rmOffline
End Enum

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property defines the behavior of the component when calling a method. Possible values are:

The use of offline mode is required when using the QBWCServer component. This allows requests to be generated and passed to QuickBooks Web Connector through the QBWCServer component.

For normal communication to QuickBooks either directly or through the QBConnector application use the default online mode.

QBResponseAggregate Property (QBObject Component)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBResponseAggregate { get; set; }

Public Property QBResponseAggregate As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks. This property is set whenever a response is received from QuickBooks.

This property may also be set to a response aggregate. When set to a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the component will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.

This property is not available at design time.

QBXMLVersion Property (QBObject Component)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string QBXMLVersion { get; set; }

Public Property QBXMLVersion As String

Default Value

"3.0"

Remarks

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message. Except as noted in the documentation, a value of "1.1" will suffice for all requests, and for all versions of QuickBooks which support integrated applications.

With each release of QuickBooks since 2002, a corresponding version of the QuickBooks SDK has also been released: 1.0 for QuickBooks 2002, 2.0 for QuickBooks 2003, 3.0 for QuickBooks 2004, etc., up to 8.0 for QuickBooks 2009. In addition, each release of QuickBooks continues to support all earlier versions of the SDK, meaning that requests using version 1.1 of the QuickBooks SDK are supported by all versions of QuickBooks. However, new requests and newer fields in existing requests are only supported in later versions of the QuickBooks SDK. As such, it is recommended that you set the QBXMLVersion property to correspond to the version of QuickBooks you are interacting with. These values are:

In addition, versions of QuickBooks outside of the U.S. released before Quickbooks 2008 adhere to a different version of the QuickBooks SDK. These versions were updated with less frequency than the U.S. SDK, and may omit features introduced in later releases:

With the exception of Province in Address (set State) or EligibleForT4A in Vendor (set EligibleFor1099), Canadian-only fields are read-only and may be accessed with Config.

This property is not available at design time.

Results Property (QBObject Component)

A list of responses from QuickBooks, filled after calling ProcessQueue .

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public QBObjectResultList Results { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property Results As QBObjectResultList

Remarks

The QBObject component can be used to queue multiple transactions for batch processing with QuickBooks. Use the Queue method to store QBAddAggregate or QBUpdateAggregate structures from other components in QBObject, and then call ProcessQueue to send them to QuickBooks. The results will appear in the Results in the same order they were inserted into the Queue. The ObjName collection will contain the name of the component required to process each Aggregate.

Note that setting the QBResponseAggregate will also fill out the Results property.

This property is read-only.

XChildCount Property (QBObject Component)

Number of children for the current element.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public int XChildCount { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property XChildCount As Integer

Default Value

0

Remarks

The current element is specified via the XPath property.

This property is read-only.

XElement Property (QBObject Component)

The name of the current element.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string XElement { get; set; }

Public Property XElement As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The current element is specified via the XPath property.

XPath Property (QBObject Component)

Provides a way to point to a specific element in the document.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string XPath { get; set; }

Public Property XPath As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

XPath implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the XML response.

The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current XPath location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor:

When XPath is set to a valid path, XElement points to the name of the element, with XChildren and XText providing other properties of the element.

Example (Setting XPath)

You may use the HasXPath method to determine if an xpath exists before setting the XPath property.

This property is not available at design time.

XText Property (QBObject Component)

The text of the current element.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string XText { get; set; }

Public Property XText As String

Default Value

""

Remarks

The current element is specified via the XPath property.

Add Method (QBObject Component)

Adds the record into QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Add();

Public Sub Add()

Remarks

Add is used to add the object to QuickBooks.

If QuickBooks is able to add the object, it will return a copy of the object, and the values of all properties will be reset from the QuickBooks response. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.

For example, read-only properties such as RefIds will be assigned. In transaction objects, line item information will be filled out, and ItemGroups will be broken up into their respective Items. Also, a total will be calculated.

If QuickBooks is not able to add the object, a trappable error will occur.

AddProperty Method (QBObject Component)

Sets the value of the specified property.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void AddProperty(string propertyName, string propertyValue);

Public Sub AddProperty(ByVal PropertyName As String, ByVal PropertyValue As String)

Remarks

This method should be used to specify the object's property values, before invoking Add.

The properties should be specified one by one, in the same order that they are listed in the SDK documentation. All property values should be formatted as a string; aggregate properties should be formatted with XML tags, as appropriate.

The following pseudocode shows how to add a service line item to QuickBooks.

GenericQBObject1.ObjectName = "ItemService" GenericQBObject1.ObjectType = "Txn" GenericQBObject1.AddProperty("Name", "Item name here") GenericQBObject1.AddProperty("SalesOrPurchase", "<AccountRef><FullName>Account name here</FullName></AccountRef>") GenericQBObject1.Add()

CheckRequestStatus Method (QBObject Component)

Checks whether or not the specified request was processed by QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string CheckRequestStatus(string requestId);

Public Function CheckRequestStatus(ByVal RequestId As String) As String

Remarks

This method allows the user to determine whether a previous request was successfully processed by QuickBooks. Ordinarily QuickBooks either processes requests successfully or returns an error, but in the event of a power outage or other system failure, QuickBooks might or might not have time to process a request before issuing a response.

QuickBooks stores internally a list of QBRequestIds for which it has processed a request, and updated its internal state accordingly. Use of this method allows the user to query the list for any RequestId whose value is known.

The method returns a string corresponding to the result of the query. If the request was processed successfully, an empty string ("") will be returned. If the request was not processed, the string "Request not processed." will be returned. If the request was processed but an error occurred, a string containing the error code and a description will be returned; for example, "801: A QuickBooks internal error has occurred."

See QBRequestId for more information on error recovery.

CloseQBConnection Method (QBObject Component)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void CloseQBConnection();

Public Sub CloseQBConnection()

Remarks

Invoking CloseQBConnection closes the QuickBooks connection specified in QBConnectionString. After the connection has been closed, the component will revert to its default behavior, and a new connection will be established for each request until QBConnectionString is invoked again.

In case the connection is already closed invoking CloseQBConnection will have no effect. Moreover, if multiple connections are open CloseQBConnection will only close the connection specified in QBConnectionString.

Be sure to always invoke this method after calling OpenQBConnection.

Config Method (QBObject Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string Config(string configurationString);

Public Function Config(ByVal ConfigurationString As String) As String

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Delete Method (QBObject Component)

Deletes the record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Delete();

Public Sub Delete()

Remarks

Delete causes the object to be deleted in QuickBooks. After this method is called, the values of all fields will be reset to their defaults.

The object deleted in QuickBooks is the one specified by the Id. This property may be assigned using AddProperty, by calling Get, or by assigning the value of QBResponseAggregate.

A typical example:

Object.Get("Floor plans") 'this will assign the Id Object.Delete()

Deleting list objects requires that QuickBooks be open in single-user mode. Transaction objects, however, may be deleted while QuickBooks is in any mode.

Use this method with caution, as there is no way to recover deleted objects.

Get Method (QBObject Component)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Get(string id);

Public Sub Get(ByVal Id As String)

Remarks

Get may be used to retrieve a single object from QuickBooks, based on its RefId. When the method is called, a search will be initiated for the requested object. If it is found, all properties of the component will be set to the information retrieved from QuickBooks. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.

The RefId of any component, or the Id of any reference property, may be used for the parameter. So for example, the following pseudocode would get customer information for a Customer listed on an Invoice:

Customer.Get( Invoice.CustomerId )

The GetByName method, present only in entity objects (Customer, Vendor, and Employee) and QBObject, may be used to get an object based on its Name. To retrieve multiple objects, to retrieve transaction objects whose RefId is not known, or to perform more advanced searches the ObjSearch component may be used.

GetByName Method (QBObject Component)

Gets a single record from QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void GetByName(string fullName);

Public Sub GetByName(ByVal FullName As String)

Remarks

GetByName may be used to retrieve a single object from QuickBooks, based on its full Name. For Employee and Vendor objects, and for most Customer objects, the full name is given by the Name (CustomerName, VendorName, or EmployeeName property. For Customer objects that represent jobs or sub-customers, the full name will include the parent objects' name(s), and is given by the FullName special field. When the method is called, a search will be initiated for the requested object. If it is found, all properties of the component will be set to the information retrieved from QuickBooks. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.

The full name of any component may be used for the parameter. So, for example, the following pseudocode would get customer information for a Customer listed on an Invoice:

Customer.GetByName( Invoice.CustomerName )

The GetByName method, present only in entity objects (Customer, Vendor, and Employee) and QBObject, may be used to get an object based on its Name. To retrieve multiple objects, to retrieve transaction objects whose name is not known, or to perform more advanced searches the ObjSearch component may be used.

GetProperty Method (QBObject Component)

Gets the value of the specified property.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string GetProperty(string propertyName);

Public Function GetProperty(ByVal PropertyName As String) As String

Remarks

This method returns the value of the specified property. If the property value has not been specified, an empty string will be returned.

HasXPath Method (QBObject Component)

Determines whether a specific element exists in the document.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public bool HasXPath(string xpath);

Public Function HasXPath(ByVal xpath As String) As Boolean

Remarks

The XPath property implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the XML response.

The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current XPath location.

Setting the XPath property to an xpath that does not exist will cause an error. You can use the HasXPath method to determine if a particular xpath exists before setting it with XPath.

OpenQBConnection Method (QBObject Component)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void OpenQBConnection();

Public Sub OpenQBConnection()

Remarks

Invoking OpenQBConnection will open a persistent connection to QuickBooks. After invoking OpenQBConnection, all requests such as Get, Add, etc. will use the established connection until CloseQBConnection is invoked.

The effect of OpenQBConnection is to increase performance. If OpenQBConnection is not invoked, a connection to QuickBooks will automatically be created and destroyed each time the component communicates with QuickBooks. Using OpenQBConnection will be faster, particularly in the case of automatic login.

After OpenQBConnection is invoked, QuickBooks will issue a connection ticket, and it will be stored in QBConnectionString. When CloseQBConnection is invoked the ticket will be invalidated, and any further attempts to use it will fail.

Be sure to invoke CloseQBConnection when you have finished communicating with QuickBooks. Leaving an open QuickBooks connection may lock out other integrated applications, affect QuickBooks performance, or cause other problems.

ProcessQueue Method (QBObject Component)

Processes the current queue of transactions.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void ProcessQueue();

Public Sub ProcessQueue()

Remarks

The QBObject component can be used to queue multiple transactions for batch processing with QuickBooks. Use the Queue method to store QBAddAggregate or QBUpdateAggregate structures from other components in QBObject, and then call ProcessQueue to send them to QuickBooks. The results will appear in the Results in the same order they were inserted into the Queue. In the Results collection , the ObjName will contain the name of the component required to process each Aggregate.

Queue Method (QBObject Component)

Adds a transaction to the queue.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Queue(string aggregate);

Public Sub Queue(ByVal Aggregate As String)

Remarks

The QBObject component can be used to queue multiple transactions for batch processing with QuickBooks. Use the Queue method to store QBAddAggregate or QBUpdateAggregate structures from other components in QBObject, and then call ProcessQueue to send them to QuickBooks. The results will appear in the Results collection in the same order they were inserted into the Queue. The XML aggregate will be stored in Aggregate, and the ObjName field will indicate the name of the component required to process each Aggregate.

Reset Method (QBObject Component)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Reset();

Public Sub Reset()

Remarks

This method resets the values of all properties (and all special fields) to their defaults.

After calling this method, the component may be reused as if it were newly created.

ResetQueue Method (QBObject Component)

Resets the transaction queue.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void ResetQueue();

Public Sub ResetQueue()

Remarks

Transactions may be added to the queue via the Queue method. However, once added these transactions cannot be modified. If you wish to make a change you must reset the queue and start over again.

SendRawXML Method (QBObject Component)

Sends the provided XML string to the QBXML Request Processor.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string SendRawXML(string XMLString);

Public Function SendRawXML(ByVal XMLString As String) As String

Remarks

SendRawXML sends the provided XML string to the QuickBooks request processor, and returns the raw, unparsed response. The QB properties determine the parameters of the QuickBooks connection; all other property values will be ignored.

Error checking is performed at the communications (COM) level but not at the QuickBooks level. Use this method with caution, as it will not indicate whether or not the data was successfully processed.

Update Method (QBObject Component)

Updates the entity object in QuickBooks.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void Update();

Public Sub Update()

Remarks

This method is used to update entity (Customer, Vendor, and Employee) records in QuickBooks.

When the method is called, an Update request will be submitted to QuickBooks. The object represented by RefId will have its information updated based on the various property values.

If QuickBooks is able to update the object, it will return a copy of the object, and the values of all properties will be reset from the QuickBooks response. The QBResponseAggregate property will also be set to the entire QBXML aggregate received from QuickBooks.

One condition must be met for an Update operation to succeed: QuickBooks checks a property called EditSequence. EditSequence is similar to RefId, but is changed every time the object is changed. When an Updateoperation is submitted, the server compares EditSequence with its own EditSequence for the object. If they match, this means that the client program has the latest copy of the object, and the Update operation is permitted. If they don't match, an error will be returned.

If this object represents a value returned from QuickBooks (i.e., a Get or Add call has been made, or the QBResponseAggregate property has been set), the EditSequence will be automatically set. Otherwise this value may be accessed through Config.

Error Event (QBObject Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnErrorHandler OnError;

public delegate void OnErrorHandler(object sender, QbobjectErrorEventArgs e);

public class QbobjectErrorEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int ErrorCode { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnError As OnErrorHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnErrorHandler(sender As Object, e As QbobjectErrorEventArgs)

Public Class QbobjectErrorEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property ErrorCode As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (QBObject Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler OnSSLServerAuthentication;

public delegate void OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(object sender, QbobjectSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs e);

public class QbobjectSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string CertEncoded { get; }
  public byte[] CertEncodedB { get; }
  public string CertSubject { get; }
  public string CertIssuer { get; }
  public string Status { get; }
  public bool Accept { get; set; }
}

Public Event OnSSLServerAuthentication As OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLServerAuthenticationHandler(sender As Object, e As QbobjectSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs)

Public Class QbobjectSSLServerAuthenticationEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncoded As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertEncodedB As Byte()
  Public ReadOnly Property CertSubject As String
  Public ReadOnly Property CertIssuer As String
  Public ReadOnly Property Status As String
  Public Property Accept As Boolean
End Class

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (QBObject Component)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnSSLStatusHandler OnSSLStatus;

public delegate void OnSSLStatusHandler(object sender, QbobjectSSLStatusEventArgs e);

public class QbobjectSSLStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnSSLStatus As OnSSLStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnSSLStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As QbobjectSSLStatusEventArgs)

Public Class QbobjectSSLStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

Status Event (QBObject Component)

Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnStatusHandler OnStatus;

public delegate void OnStatusHandler(object sender, QbobjectStatusEventArgs e);

public class QbobjectStatusEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public string Message { get; }
}

Public Event OnStatus As OnStatusHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnStatusHandler(sender As Object, e As QbobjectStatusEventArgs)

Public Class QbobjectStatusEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Message As String
End Class

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

Warning Event (QBObject Component)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public event OnWarningHandler OnWarning;

public delegate void OnWarningHandler(object sender, QbobjectWarningEventArgs e);

public class QbobjectWarningEventArgs : EventArgs {
  public int Code { get; }
  public string Description { get; }
}

Public Event OnWarning As OnWarningHandler

Public Delegate Sub OnWarningHandler(sender As Object, e As QbobjectWarningEventArgs)

Public Class QbobjectWarningEventArgs Inherits EventArgs
  Public ReadOnly Property Code As Integer
  Public ReadOnly Property Description As String
End Class

Remarks

The Warning event is fired when the component has produced, or will produce, possibly unexpected results.

Warnings may be generated by QuickBooks or the component. Starred warning codes correspond to warnings and warning codes generated by QuickBooks.

Unlisted QuickBooks warnings will cause the component to throw an exception instead.

Warning 801 will be thrown if the user attempts to Update properties that cannot be updated. For example, the following code will cause this warning to be fired: Customer1.GetByName("Joe Smith") Customer1.Email = "joe@abc.com" 'ok Customer1.CreditLimit = "200.00" 'Not used in Update operations! Customer1.Update() Only the email address will be updated, and the credit limit will be unchanged. Each property description for entity objects lists whether or not it is used in Update operations.

QBObjectResult Type

Results of a transaction made with the component.

Remarks

This type contains a single result after issuing a search with the ObjSearch component. The Aggregate field contains the XML result aggregate, and ObjName indicates the component you must use to parse it.
