Hello all,

Is it possible to import a catalog (from a xml file) without using a bizdesk.

Is there an API to acomplish this ?

Thanx
arik

Hi Arik,

BizDesk is nothing but a set of ASP code that executes. To achieve the
functionality it uses the Interop classes. So, yes, you can write your own
web site/Windows Application to perform a catalog upload. In your program/asp
page you'll have to use the CatalogManager Interop object and other Catalog
object classes (ImportXML & ImportCSV methods) to achieve catalog
import/export.
