This documentation refers to CommitCRM 5.6 or later version and assumes CommitCRM is installed and accessible on the local computer.

Introduction

This document demonstrates how to use the CommitCRM C# API library in order to programmatically connect to your CommitCRM server and query or manipulate the CommitCRM database.


System Requirements

  • CommitCRM 5.6 or later.
  • Visual C# .NET 2008 or Visual C# .NET 2010.
  • CommitLib.dll (the CommitCRM C# compiled library).

Getting Started

After you create your C# project, you'll need to add a reference to the CommitLib.dll file, in order to have access to the CommitCRM library classes.

Each application using the library will have to initialize on startup the CommitCRM.Application object and terminate it on exit. Initialization method requires that you pass an object instance of CommitCRM.Config class configured with the following settings:

  • AppName
This is free text, preferably the name of your application.
  • CommitDllFolder
Behind the scenes the library uses the two CommitCRM API dlls: CmtDbEng.dll and CmtDbQry.dll.
In the default CommitCRM installation you'll find these files in 'C:\\Commit\\ThirdParty\\UserDev'.
Important Note: Always point to this folder and do not copy the dll files elsewhere. This is because when the CommitCRM version upgrade runs it also upgrades the dll files stored in this folder. This verifies that you will always be using the latest release.
  • CommitDbFolder
Path to the CommitCRM database, default is 'C:\\Commit\\db'.

Assuming these default values, we can configure the CommitCRM.Config object like this: 

CommitCRM.Config config = new CommitCRM.Config();
config.AppName = "C# Demo";
config.CommitDllFolder = "C:\\Commit\\ThirdParty\\UserDev";
config.CommitDbFolder = "C:\\Commit\\db";

You should of course check where these paths are exactly on your disk and modify these values accordingly.

Now we can initialize the CommitCRM.Application object with these settings: 

CommitCRM.Application.Initialize(config);

If anything goes wrong, the above line will throw an exception of the CommitCRM.Exception class. To prevent unexpected termination of the program execution, we recommend having any call to the CommitCRM library enclosed in a try/catch block.

Before exit, we terminate the CommitCRM.Application object: 

CommitCRM.Application.Terminate();

The most basic C# application that just connects to CommitCRM and terminates could look something like this: 

try
{
    CommitCRM.Config config = new CommitCRM.Config();
    config.AppName = "C# Demo";
    config.CommitDllFolder = "C:\\Commit\\ThirdParty\\UserDev";
    config.CommitDbFolder = "C:\\Commit\\db";

    CommitCRM.Application.Initialize(config);

    //At this point we have successfully initialized the CommitCRM.Application
    //and can start using the other library classes
}
catch (CommitCRM.Exception exc)
{
    Console.Out.Write(exc.Message);
}
finally
{
    CommitCRM.Application.Terminate();
}

Now that we have confirmed the connectivity to the CommitCRM server (if the above code successfully runs), we can continue adding more functionality to the example.

The library exposes as C# classes the same CommitCRM objects (Account, Ticket etc.) available through the native CommitCRM API and you can refer to the API Reference Manual for database fields reference.


With any of these objects you can:

  • Search and query for objects with CommitCRM.ObjectQuery that satisfy certain criteria.
  • Read and display the properties of the retrieved objects.
  • Update and save the properties of the retrieved objects.
  • Create and save new objects.


Now let's see how we can search for CommitCRM.Account objects. We instantiate an object of the CommitCRM.ObjectQuery class and pass CommitCRM.Account class as generics parameter. 

CommitCRM.ObjectQuery<CommitCRM.Account> accountSearch = new CommitCRM.ObjectQuery<CommitCRM.Account>();

CommitCRM.ObjectQuery class can accept any of the CommitCRM objects in this parameter, but we want to search for accounts now.

Next, we need to set criteria (or more than one) we want to search for: 

accountSearch.AddCriteria(CommitCRM.Account.Fields.City, CommitCRM.OperatorEnum.opEqual, "New York");

he first parameter to the AddCriteria method is either a static object instance of CommitCRM.CmtField class representing the field we want to look in or the internal API field name. Refer to the API Field Name column in the Account Class table for a complete list of the available fields for the CommitCRM.Account class.

The second parameter is a compare operator. We here use the CommitCRM.OperatorEnum.opEqual to get only exact matches. In order to get a broader match in the results you can use CommitCRM.OperatorEnum.opLike operator.

The third parameter is the value we want to find. Prepending and/or appending % (percent) sign at the beginning and/or at the end while using CommitCRM.OperatorEnum.opLike operator, will match the phrase even if in the middle of a sentence.

Now we can execute the search and retrieve the CommitCRM.Account objects (if any): 

List<CommitCRM.Account> accounts = accountSearch.FetchObjects();

The above line will populate the List (System.Collections.Generic.List) with all CommitCRM.Account objects that were found. Now we can use foreach statement to iterate through the accounts: 

foreach (CommitCRM.Account account in accounts)
{
    Console.Out.WriteLine(account.CompanyName);
}

Or we can manipulate these accounts: 

foreach (CommitCRM.Account account in accounts)
{
    if (account.Zip.Length == 0)
    {
        account.Zip = "10001";
        account.Save();
    }
}


We invoke the CommitCRM.Account's Save method on both new or existing accounts. For a new account, invoking the Save method would insert a new account in the CommitCRM database. For an existing account, invoking the Save method would update the fields we modified in the existing account. This rule applies to all CommitCRM objects.

Another option is to add a new ticket for each of the accounts: 

foreach (CommitCRM.Account account in accounts)
{
    CommitCRM.Ticket ticket = new CommitCRM.Ticket();
    ticket.AccountREC_ID = account.AccountREC_ID;
    ticket.Description = "Sample ticket for a NewYork account";
    ticket.Save();
}

GetFieldValue and SetFieldValue methods

Each of the CommitCRM library objects have a set of properties that are exposed as C# properties that you can directly manipulate or read from. You already saw few examples of these properties in the above examples, as: account.Zip or ticket.Description. This is the preferred and more intuitive way of accessing the CommitCRM fields.


However, there is also another way of achieving the same results, by invoking GetFieldValue and SetFieldValue and specifying the internal field name. These methods should only be used if necessary, for example, when updating user-defined custom fields which are not part of the class predefined basic fields.

Here is an equivalent of the above example that uses these two generic methods, instead of the object's properties: 

foreach (CommitCRM.Account account in accounts)
{
    CommitCRM.Ticket ticket = new CommitCRM.Ticket();
    ticket.SetFieldValue("FLDTKTCARDID", account.GetFieldValue("FLDCRDRECID"));
    ticket.SetFieldValue("FLDTKTPROBLEM", "Sample ticket for a NewYork account");
    ticket.Save();
}

All internal field names are listed in Classes and Objects below.

Exception Handling

While working with the CommitCRM C# library, some operations can fail. In this case the library will throw an exception of the CommitCRM.Exception class. We recommend enclosing all calls to the CommitCRM library in a try/catch block.

To find out more about the exact error that ocured when an exception is thrown, you can inspect the CommitCRM.Exception.Status property that holds the last CommitCRM Status value, or inspect the list of CommitCRM.Exception.Codes (if any). Please refer to Error Codes Description for the description of these values.

Complete Program Sample

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace CommitCRM_CSharp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                CommitCRM.Config config = new CommitCRM.Config();
                config.AppName = "C# Demo";
                config.CommitDllFolder = "C:\\Commit\\ThirdParty\\UserDev";
                config.CommitDbFolder = "C:\\Commit\\db";

                CommitCRM.Application.Initialize(config);

                //At this point we have successfully initialized the CommitCRM.Application
                //and can start using the other library classes

                CommitCRM.ObjectQuery<CommitCRM.Account> accountSearch = new CommitCRM.ObjectQuery<CommitCRM.Account>();
                accountSearch.AddCriteria(CommitCRM.Account.Fields.City, CommitCRM.OperatorEnum.opEqual, "New York");
                List<CommitCRM.Account> accounts = accountSearch.FetchObjects();

                foreach (CommitCRM.Account account in accounts)
                {
                    Console.Out.WriteLine(account.CompanyName);
                }
            }
            catch (CommitCRM.Exception exc)
            {
               //here we catch commit specific error
               //we can inspect the Commit status (exc.Status) 
               //exc.Codes contains all error codes last call generated

               //here we show the error message
                Console.Out.Write(exc.Message);
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                Console.Out.Write(exc.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                CommitCRM.Application.Terminate();
            }
        }
    }
}

Classes and Objects

The CommitCRM C# API provides easy access to all objects using a class for each entity in the system (such as Account, Ticket, Asset, etc.).

All classes include:

  1. API functions and routines (which are derived from the base CommitCRM.Object class).
  2. Class data fields, providing an easy way to update the object's data.


All CommitCRM's objects should be updated by setting the class data fields (properties) and then calling the Save method. For example, to create a new account programmatically (assuming CommitCRM.Application was initialized successfully), one would use the following code snippet: 

CommitCRM.Account account = new CommitCRM.Account();
account.FileAs = "ACME Company";
account.Dear = "Mr.";
account.Contact = "John Doe";
account.Save();


Another option is using SetFieldData and GetFieldData as mentioned earlier, which provide low-level access to data fields. This option should only be used if necessary, for example, when updating user-defined fields which are not part of the class basic fields.


Object Class

The CommitCRM.Object class is the base class for all CommitCRM accessible objects (as Ticket, Account, Asset, etc.). The public methods exposed by the CommitCRM.Object class are available to the derived classes.

Object Method Reference Table

Access modifier Return value Method Arguments Description
public void SetFieldValue (string sKey, string sValue) Assigns the value (sValue) of the field passed in sKey argument. Save must be called for the change to take effect. Use this method to access user-defined custom fields.
public string GetFieldValue (string sKey) Retrieves the value of the field passed in sKey argument. Use this method to access user-defined custom fields.
public void Reload () Reloads the Object values from the database. The value of the object unique identifier (REC_ID, the exact name depends on the concrete derived object class)
public void Reinit (string sID) Same as Reload except the unique identifier is passed as argument.
public void Save () Saves all modified properties of the object to the database.

Config Class

CommitCRM.Config class is used to pass the global configuration settings to the CommitCRM.Application Initialize method.

Property Type Required Description
AppName string Yes Maximum 15 chars, string that best identifies your application.
CommitDllFolder string Yes Exact path to the folder where CommitCRM API DLLs are located (CmtDbEng.dll and CmtDbQry.dll, usually "C:\\Commit\\ThirdParty\\UserDev").
CommitDbFolder String Yes Exact path to the folder where CommitCRM database is located (usually "C:\\Commit\\db").
InitCommitApiDll Boolean No Initializes the CmtDbEng.dll file, which is required for proper functioning of all update functions. true by default (recommended setting). Set it to false only if you know what you are doing.
InitCommitQryDll bool No Initializes the CmtDbQry.dll file which is required for proper functioning of all search/query functions. true by default (recommended setting). Set it to false only if you know what you are doing.
Params List<string,string> No Not used, reserved for future use
RaiseExceptionIfDatabaseFieldTruncated bool No Specifies whether truncation of a field value will raise an exception. All string properties/fields have length limitations and if you overwrite them, the extra chars will be removed. By default this setting is False. Set it to True if you want truncation to raise an exception.

Application Class

The CommitCRM.Application class implements a Singleton pattern that hold all global defined application settings and is used for easy access to these settings. Once the main CommitCRM.Application object is initialized, you can refer to this instance by writing: CommitCRM.Application.instance().

Table below lists the CommitCRM.Application properties.

Property Type Description
config Config Access to the CommitCRM.Config object passed in CommitCRM.Application.Initialize method.
CmtDateFormat String Global CommitCRM date format (as dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy). You'll need to refer to this setting if you are directly manipulating DateTime field (using SetFieldValue method).
CmtDateSeparator String Separator between the date ranges, usually '/', '-' or '.'.
CmtTimeFormat String Global CommitCRM time format.
CmtIsTimeFormatAMPMInUse Boolean 12 hour or 24 hour time format.

Table below list the CommitCRM.Application methods.

Access modifier Return value Method Arguments Description
public static Application instance () Method that returns the singleton object. Use it to access all CommitCRM.Application properties/methods.
public static void Initialize (Config c) Method that initializes the internal CommitCRM API DLLs. Must be the first call before using any other CommitCRM library calls.
public static void Terminate () Terminates all CommitCRM internal resources. You should call this method before exit from your application.
