QBXML, QGFC - How do I retrieve Service Item Descriptions

Question

I am attempting to retrieve Service Items from Quickbooks.

When retrieving ItemInventoryRetList, I get some properties to work with, including SalesDescription.

ItemInventoryRetList does however not return Service Items.

When running an ItemNonInventryRetList or ItemServiceRetList, I don't get any Description properties from QBFC classes.

Looking at the response, I see it looks like I have to access the SalesorPurchase. aggregate to get at the description.

Alright, got it sorted. Seems the On Screen Reference REALLY is your friend...

QBFC already builds the properties when the RetList is populated. Nice... I was under the impression I had to iterate through a "list" of sub aggregates/nodes in the RetElement.

Using the following, works a charm.

RetListObject(withid).name.GetValue (etc)
'Sub Properties in Response
RetListObject(withid).ORSalesPurchase.SalesOrPurchase.Desc.GetValue
RetListObject(withid).ORSalesPurchase.SalesOrPurchase.ORPrice.Price.GetValue
