BMECat.net 2.0.0

BMECat.net

.net library for reading and writing BMECat product catalogues.

The library has a sister library (https://github.com/stephanstapel/OpenTrans.net) which allows to process order files.

Installation

Installation so far is manually, since no nuget packages was created yet.

Usage

Creation of catalogue files is simple:

ProductCatalog catalog = new ProductCatalog()
{
  Languages = { LanguageCodes.DEU },
  CatalogId = "QA_CAT_002",
  CatalogVersion = "001.002",
  CatalogName = "Office Material",
  GenerationDate = new System.DateTime(2004, 8, 20, 10, 59, 54),
  Currency = CurrencyCodes.EUR
};

catalog.Products.Add(new Product()
{
  No = "Q20-P09",
  EANCode = "0000000011",
  Currency = CurrencyCodes.EUR,
  NetPrice = 16.49m,
  DescriptionShort = "Post-Safe Polythene Envelopes Deutsch",
  DescriptionLong = "Deutsch All-weather lightweight envelopes protect your contents and save you money. ALL - WEATHER.Once sealed, Post-Safe envelopes are completely waterproof.Your contents won't get damaged.",
  Stock = 100,
  VAT = 19
});


catalog.Save("test.xml");

Create a new ProductCatalog object and set the necessary properties to set up the catalogue:

ProductCatalog catalog = new ProductCatalog()
{
  ...
}

Then add products to the product list property:

catalog.Products.Add(new Product()
{
  ...
}

and finally save the catalogue either to stream or to file:

catalog.Save("test.xml");

That's it.
