Extra API functionality for webservice + .NET Webservice Library

MagentoXtender is a great module (and also a windows application) to import multiple products at once into your magentostore. For each product there is a configurable product created, together with it's simple products linked to it. You can use any tab-seperated text as data input (= Pricelists in Excel or PDF for example).
You just supply the basic information like a photo and a description and MagentoXtender will do the rest!
And all of this right from your fast desktop instead of the slow admin webinterface.

This application will defenitly save you a lot of time!

MagentoXtender contains:
- API Extention Module
- .NET Webservice DLL *
- .NET Application with Multiproduct import wizard *

* must be downloaded seperatly from website: http://www.linux4ever.be/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=magentoxtender

Help me to develop this module by supplying me with feedback or request a feature.

This module makes extra API functions available for SOAP and XML-RPC webservice. It should be used in combination with the VB.NET Library I am currently developping. The VB.NET program also contains a wizard to import multiple products at once.
Most important functionality is probably the possibility to link simple products to a configurable product.
Please note that this module will only install the extra API functions on your magento installation. You still need to download the VB.NET program at the following website:

http://www.linux4ever.be/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=magentoxtender

Important: If the new API functions are not available after you've installed the module than you most certainly have to disable or refresh the Cache in the admin-pages: System > Cache Management

If you have problems with certain attributes not showing any options (like color or manufacturer) , then make sure you execute the following query :

UPDATE eav_attribute SET `source_model` = 'eav/entity_attribute_source_table' WHERE attribute_code IN ('manufacturer','color')

Current features:
* List/Create/Update/Delete Attribute Set
* List/Create/Update/Delete Attribute Group
* List/Create/Update/Delete (Product) Attributes + EAV Options/Values + assignToGroup, deleteFromGroup
* List/Create/Update/Delete Product (Simple/Configurable/Virtual/Grouped/Bundled)
* List/Update Inventory Product Stock
* List Websites, StoreGroups & Stores
* List/Create/Update/Delete Product Links for Grouped+Configurable products
* List/Create/Update/Delete/Assign Products/… for Product Categories
* List Product Categorie Attributes+Options
* List Product Types
* List/Create/Update/Delete (+ Upload) Product Images
* Customers API
* Customer's Groups API
* Customer Address API
* Country API
* Region API

Todo:
* Create Wizard to easily import multiple products at once [Current Version works! High Priority]
* Implement API functions for: [Low Priority]
* Product Tier Price API
* Order API
* Shipment API
* Invoice API
