I often get asked about how easy / difficult it is to use eConnect and build out eConnect solutions for data import / export. I recerntly caem across a couple of links that help explain these solutions.
This first paper explains how to use eConnect, Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET to develop a Windows service to automate the process of importing data.
This information describes how to create a Windows service that uses the .NET FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a directory for file operations, so users can import their data in a timely and accurate fashion. The information walks you through the following steps:
You should be familiar with the navigation in Visual Studio .NET and be familiar with referencing .NET assemblies in Visual Basic. NET. You also should have experience with developing and deploying .NET applications to end users’ computers.

The second paper demonstrates how to serialize data from a custom Microsoft SQL Server table and use eConnect objects to integrate the records into Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0.
This information walks you through the steps of adding a new Windows application, applying the sample code, and debugging and testing the application. The paper assumes that you have some experience with eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0, Visual Studio 2005, and SQL Server 2005.
