Hello all,

Is there anyone who has a link with Unit4 software and his Windev application? Unit4 has a WebAPI and a .NETAPI, wich one do you prefer with Windev?
I have a user that need this link so i could use some experience :-)

Thank,
Sammy

Hi Sammy,

1 I guess it depends on what you need to do. do you need to connect to anb on premise Unit 4 app . Or is it on the net ?

2 Then there is the development stuff.

If it is on the same network then going through the internet might be overkill. meaning there can go more things wrong. ( for instance you will be relying on the internet. No internet no connection.) things that are not in your control. are impossible to fix.

I think a web api is a lot easier. Is it REST , SoAP? . Does not matter it returns xml or json and that is easy. I donnot know about a .NET API. Sound like integrating with .net and doing that from windev seems to me a lot more difficult.

But I guess the first reson is more important. Easy of use is cool but to quality of the result more important.

Regards

Hi Allard,

Thanks for the reply.
I also think the web api is the most easy way, it is REST. You can install a local web service.
