Developing server-side extensions
Code in .NET components integrated in NAV applications can be executed either on the server or on the client-side. The RunOnClient variable property is an instruction for NAV specifying which side the component should run on. Most of the .NETt code is executed in server-side components, client-side variables being a special case.
Code running on client is the topic of the next recipe, and now we will walk through creating a page that will connect to the NASDAQ website to read news in the RSS feed.
How to do it...
The page object created here, reads the RSS feed from articlefeeds.nasdaq.com, parses the result, and displays the news text.
Create a new page in the page designer. Choose to create a blank page without the wizard and leave the source table blank.
Open C/AL Globals and create the following variables:
Name

Subtype
XmlDoc
DotNet
System.Xml.XmlDocument
XmlNodeList
