Create User-defined field for Marketing Documents

Question

I need to create a User-Defined field for Marketing Documents under Title and Rows.
I need to do it via .NET instead of manually go into SAP to create it.
Does anyone can give me idea on how to do this?

Hi David,
There are examples of how to do this in the SDK samples (look for MetaDataOperations project in the DI samples).
There are also examples in the SDK help. Here's one:
Private Sub AddUserField()
'// The UserFieldsMD represents a meta-data object that allows you
'// to addremove fields from tables or change the fields' characteristics
    Dim oUserFieldsMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'// In any meta-data operation there should be no other object "alive"
'// but the meta-data object, otherwise the operation will fail.
'// This restriction is intended to prevent a collisions.
    '// The meta-data object needs to be initialized with a
    '// regular UserFields object
    Set oUserFieldsMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(oUserFields)
    '// When adding user tables or fields to the SAP Business One database
    '// use a prefix identifying your partner name space
    '// this will prevent collisions between the various partners add-ons
    '// SAP's name space prefix is "BE_"
    '// Set the Fields' mandatory properties
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = "OCRD" '// BP table
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = "BE_UserField1"
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = "A user field"
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = db_Alpha '// am alphanumeric type
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = 20
    '// Add the field to the table
    oUserFieldsMD.Add
End Sub
Kind Regards,
