Normally when you change your language you go to your user options, change your current language and the restart the client. This week I got the question if it was possible to do so in runtime. You can do so by just calling the infolog.language(str 7 _languageCode). All labels that you load after calling this method will be translated to the new language. (more…)

This week one of my customers asked me to place the amount in words on a invoice. I couldn’t believe that sush function wasn’t availible in standard Ax. After some research I found that the Global-class contains the following methods:

• static TempStr numeralsToTxt(real _num)
• static TempStr numeralsToTxt_EN(real _num)
• static TempStr numeralsToTxt_ES(real _num)
• static TempStr numeralsToTxt_FR(real _num)
• static TempStr numeralsToTxt_NL(real _num)

In my previous post I described how to run the standard Microsoft Ax 2012 Hyper-V VPC on your regular Windows Client with VirtualBox. There was one thing I forgot to mention, when you want to use the Enterprise Portal (and you probably will) you need to adjust the windows hosts-file on the VPC.

How:

• Just open Notepad and open ‘C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts’
• Add a line  containing ’127.0.0.1              dynamicsax.contoso.com ‘

Now the file should look like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#    127.0.0.1       localhost
#    ::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       dynamicsax.contoso.com

Hi everyone,

Together with some colleagues, I will attend the Technical Conference in Nice next monday.
I’m very exited, as this is a the first Dynamics conference I’ll attend.
Since my plane leaves tomorrow morning at 10:15 (local time Belgium) my Saturday will be preparing my luggage and myself mentally to step in the airplane (not a huge fan of flying)

I will breed you about the sessions I’ll attend.
See you there!

A while ago a cross some YouTube clips ‘Inside Dynamics Ax 2012′. I just found a blogpost that groups them all: http://daxdilip.blogspot.com/2011/08/inside-microsoft-dynamics-ax-2012.html

Have fun watching…

Last week I received my confirmation for the Microsoft Dynamics Ax Technical Conference in Nice.

The event is scheduled to be held from November 14 – 16 in NICE Acropolis, Nice, France. You can find more info on the event’s homepage.

I’ll keep you up-to-date

I couldn’t believe it:

On Amazon.com I found the first paperback concerning Ax 2012 ‘Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2012 Unleashed’. The book will be released Ocober/November this year. There is not much info availible at the moment, but if you’re intrested in pre-ordering go to Amazon.com

(more…)

Like most Ax developers I am looking forward to the Ax 2012 release in Q4 this year (in the US a bit earlier). Today Microsoft launched the Ax 2012 Béta and I can’t wait to try it. You can find the download on partner source (Hyper-V & ISO) and customer source (Hyper-V & ISO). Keep in mind that you need a valid PartnerSource and CustomerSource-account.

Extra info is available on TechNet.

Today some of my colleagues took the plane to Atlante to participate the Microsoft Convergence 2011 that starts tomorrow. I hope they have a great time, bring back great stories and some goodies for me
