C#

Hello,

I want to create a number field in sales force by using metadata api in c#. for this i got some example on net, those example are for creating text data type field. from these examples i created a function to create number field type in sales force. but as i run that function i got error that length is not specify for custom data type number. for all other data type like formula, text, date, date time my code work fine. but for number type i got error for length.

please guide me on that.

my code for number data type

 cf.fullName = measureObjectName + "." + measureAttribute.FieldName;
 cf.label = measureAttribute.FieldLabel;
 cf.description = measureAttribute.Description;
 cf.inlineHelpText = measureAttribute.HelpText;
 cf.length = measureAttribute.Fieldlength
 cf.scale = measureAttribute.DecimalPlaces;
 cf.precision = measureAttribute.Fieldlength
 cf.required = measureAttribute.IsRequired;
 string fieldType = measureAttribute.DataType.ToLower();
 cf.precisionSpecified = true;
 cf.scaleSpecified = true;
 cf.lengthSpecified = true;
 cf.requiredSpecified = true;

 if (fieldType == "currency")
     cf.type = Spyrel.FieldType.Currency;
 if (fieldType == "number")
     cf.type = Spyrel.FieldType.Number;
 if (fieldType == "percent")
     cf.type = Spyrel.FieldType.Percent;

AsyncResult r = _metaBinding.create(new Metadata[] { cf })[0];

Thanks
