Storing String data in Binary Object - Need to store a PDF-File from Webservice as an attachment.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Please loot at my bellow code.

// Webservice Reponse, already base-64 converted, No need to convert again.
var ReponseString = ws_result.Content; 
var binaryString : BinaryObject;
this.binaryData.content = ReponseString ;
//Warning.  ReponseString  is having value. Debugging: Empty value return.

Is there any other way to store string in binary object? Am I missing anything in above code?

Hi Sankaran,

You said that your return from the web service is already on Base64. Did you try the follow:

var docType : DocumentTypeCode;
var binaryObject : BinaryObject;
var docDesc : Description;
var docName : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_Name;
var docAltName : LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_Name;
docAltName = "altName";

var ReponseString = ws_result.Content; 
docName = "NameOfDoc.pdf";		
docDesc.content = "Your description of the document";
docType.content = "10001"; /*Standard Attachment*/
binaryObject.mimeCode = "application/pdf";	

/*Here is the important line*/	
binaryObject.content = Binary.ParseFromBase64String(ReponseString); 
this.AttachmentFolder.CreateFile(docType, docName, docAltName, docDesc, binaryObject);	

I hope this help

Hi Stephane,

I have to make sure that your string is in base64, otherwise it will generate an error. You may try to convert an PDF file to a Base64 string (here). And, use this hard coded string to check if the parser on C4C was ok.

I did no try to do this, but it may work and give you an direction to go.
