Finding EDI Specifications
The EDISpecification class is used to obtain the specification for an EDI file whether X12 or EDIFACT.
Example
EDISpecification spec = EDISpecification.FindSpecificationFromFile(“SampleEDIFACT.txt”);
// EDIFACT
Console.WriteLine(spec.EDIFileType);
Console.WriteLine(spec.EDIFACTReleaseVersion);
Console.WriteLine(spec.EDIFACTMessageType);
Console.WriteLine(spec.EDIFACTMessageVersion);
Console.WriteLine(spec.EDIFACTControllingAgency);
// X12
Console.WriteLine(spec.X12TransactionSetCode);
Console.WriteLine(spec.X12Version);
Console.WriteLine(spec.X12VersionCode);
Console.WriteLine(spec.InterchangeSenderIDQualifier);
Console.WriteLine(spec.InterchangeSenderID);
Console.WriteLine(spec.InterchangeReceiverIDQualifier);
Console.WriteLine(spec.InterchangeReceiverID);
EDI specification could also be retrieved from EDI data in memory using the FindSpecificationFromString() method.
