I have several small calculations that I would like to do. I can easily write a service for each of them and return an single value. I would like to have one service and just return a datatable of all of these values. Does anyone have an example on how to do this? I have found a few snippets of code, but I can't seem to get the syntax correct. Thanks!
P.S. Did the Correct Answer button disappear with the forum update? I don't see it anymore.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Create a DataShape with the fields that you want to return, let's name it MyShape, which has two fields: columnName1, columnName2.
Then create a new service which should look like:
var value1 = me.ServiceCalculation1();
var value2 = me.ServiceCalculation2();
var result = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape({
infoTableName: "InfoTable",
dataShapeName: "MyShape"
});
result.AddRow({
columnName1: value1,
columnName2: value2
});
Of course the Return Value for this service should be InfoTable with DataShape: MyShape.
