In Ax the name of Methods are sometimes (by my opinion) not so clear chosen. For example, when I try to replace a string in ax by typing strrep(..) instead of strreplace(..). strrep –> repeat a certain string for X times. strreplace –> replace a certain string. So please chose clear names for your methods…
About classes
In this post I will talk about classes and what you can do with them. Abstract class When you create a abstract class, you want to ensure that this class can not be instantiated. You wil have to create a sub-class that wil actually use the functionality. Example: abstract class MyClass { }abstract class MyClass … Continue Reading
List of mandatory fields on a table
When you want a list of all the mandatory field on table X, yould check all the properties on the table fields, or you could be lazy and write a small job that does the trick for you. Just replace TableId with your tablenum. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 … Continue Reading
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Development Cookbook
Just like my colleague Klaas Deforche, I am now reading the ‘Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 Development CookBook‘ published by ‘Packt Publishing‘ that was published December 2009. It is a verry good book to look up a problem and find the correponding solution. TOC: Preface Chapter 1: Processing Data Chapter 2: Working with Forms Chapter 3: Working … Continue Reading

Working with numbersequences – On forms
When you want to implement NumberSequences in a Ax form (new numbersequence when you create a record etc.) you can just implement the ‘numberSeqFormHandler’. Step-by-step:
Working with numbersequences – Keep In Mind
When you are using a Number Sequence, keep in mind that a Continuous Number Sequence is slower than a non-continuous. The reason is that the system creates a record in the table NumberSequenceList (with the status Active) and cleans it up later during TTSCOMMIT. Performance tip: You can improve the performance of a process that creates many … Continue Reading
Microsoft TechDays 2010 @ Metropolis Antwerp
I totally forgot to blog about this… On March 31 and April 1, me and some colleagues (RealDolmen) will attend the Microsoft TechDays 2010 conference in Antwerp (Belgium).
Working with numbersequences – New Module
In a previous post I explained how to create a new Number Sequence in a existing module (Working with numbersequences – new NumberSequence). In this post I will explain how you can create a new Number Sequence-module. I will create a new module called TEST (lack of inspiration). Step-By-Step:
Placement of code
When you are programming, you have to think about where placing you’re code. Always try to place you’re code nearest to the source so it can be manipulated easily. For instance code that manipulates tables should be placed in that tables methods. Best Practice: Try to minimize the x++ code in forms for the following … Continue Reading
