如何在Salesforce中使用C＃和SOQL读取textarea字段？

Question

How can I read a textarea field using C# and SOQL in Salesforce. I am using Salesforce partner WSDL. Currently I am using getFieldValue() to get String values from the SOQL result set but the same is not working for textarea. I think I am missing something here.

Thanks for looking into it.

Code for getting field value

 private string getFieldValue(string fieldName, System.Xml.XmlElement[] fields)
        {
            string returnValue = "";
            if (fields != null)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < fields.Length; i++)
                {
                    if (fields[i].LocalName.ToLower().Equals(fieldName.ToLower()))
                    {
                        returnValue = fields[i].InnerText;
                    }
                }
            }
            return returnValue;
        }


 private System.Xml.XmlElement GetNewXmlElement(string Name, string nodeValue)
        {
            System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
            System.Xml.XmlElement xmlel = doc.CreateElement(Name);
            xmlel.InnerText = nodeValue;
            return xmlel;
        }

Now getFieldValue works in almost all scenarios apart from textarea.

Answer 1

If you view the record using the debugger can you see a value in the field? This could boil down to many things, some intricacy of the C# library, or, for instance, if your salesforce user doesn't have access to that particular field (due to field level security) then the value would not be returned to you even if you've queried that field.

My suggestions:

1. Ensure your user does have access to that field, using SOQL explorer or similar to verify this, or just check the configuration in Salesforce.

2. Check the documentation for any special consideration in relation to text areas, these can't be checked in a WHERE clause for instance.

3. See if you can see a value in the field using the debugger.

4. Post a code sample :)
