How do you find / search / query for vendors / customers by name in QBD?

I have a use case where the user types in a customer or vendor name and it returns basic information from QB, address, balance...

In Qbo I do the following;

cust_query = new Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.CustomerQuery()
cust_query.name = "CUSTOMER NAME"
cust_query.SpecifyOperatorOption(Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.FilterProperty.Name, Intuit.Ipp.Data.Qbo.FilterOperatorType.EQUALS)
cust_query.ExecuteQuery

So my question is, how do I do the same thing in Qbd?
I can't seem to find any examples or documentation.
Thanks so much

  • The info on constructing a query in the DevKit is here: adding a query http://docs.developer.intuit.com/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0200_DevKits/0100_IPP_.NET_DevKit/Query_Filters/QuickBooks_Desktop_(Windows)

    If you just want to know how to do it in the REST service. http://docs.developer.intuit.com/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/0050_Data_Services/v2/0500_QuickBooks_Windows/0600_Object_Reference/Customer

    You can use a query attribute of FirstLastEnd, FirstLastStart, FirstLastInside.

    thanks
