Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform Library

DataSetViewRow  row; row = AxDatasource.GetDataSet().DataSetViews["DataSetViewName"].GetCurrentRecord(); // Get old value row.GetFieldValue("FieldName"); // Set new value row.BeginEdit(); row.SetFieldValue("FieldName", NewValue); row.EndEdit();

Sometime we are in need of retrieving data from the tables which are not added in form's datasource in EP page. To manipulate the data from tables other than datasource (in EP) or dataset (in AX), following code will work.

Here you can have the list of code sample of Microsoft Dynamics AX, AIF and EP http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/axcodesamples

It really made the process faster to test the user control without going to EP pages and refresh the AOD and data files again and again. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc616458.aspx

I found a very comprehensive article on MSDN about the subjected line of the post. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee677497.aspx

There was a requirement to hide/un-hide the fields within AXGroup according to the setup defined in AX form either to show fields or not as per user. protected void AxFrmEmployee_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) {     AxForm frm = this.axFrmEmployee;         for (int i = 0; i < this.AxGroup1.Fields.Count; i++)     {         AxBoundField fld = this.AxGroup1.Fields[i] as AxBoundField;         if ((fld != null) && (fld.Metadata.Name == "TitleId"))         {             fld.Visible = (frm.CurrentMode == DetailsViewMode.ReadOnly) ? false : true;         }     } }

Sometimes we need to change/append the URL defined on AXURLMenuitem in Dynamics AX 2012 in order to open different EP pages based on user selection. Here is the code to  Create the complete URL in code (based On eb Menu Items)      protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)     {                // Get the URL for the webpage that referenced the current record                AxUrlMenuItem url = new AxUrlMenuItem("EPSalesTableInfo");                 // update the hyperlink to point to the URL         hpRecord.NavigateUrl = url.Url.ToString();        // you can use this URL to redirect to any page like        Response.Redi...

Sometimes we just compile our posts to keep the things at one place so we or someone can get it easily when we in need. This post belongs to the same concept :) Requirement was to filter the records in grid according to the selection of base enum values from a lookup. Easy task :) but then I had to make a string field a custom lookup on selection of first value from base enum and to make it a read only on selection of second value of the base enum. This is what I did; Filter: modified public boolean modified() {     boolean ret;     ret = super();     if(str2enum(enum_variable,this.valueStr()) == enum::firstvalue)     {         stringField.allowEdit(true);         stringField .text(' ');     }     else     {          stringField .allowEdit(False);          stringField ....

I've found an interesting link about how to run AX 2012 VPC on Windows 7 without any need for Windows 2008 Hyper-V server installed on your machine. Configuring and running the AX 2012 Hyper-V image with VirtualBox Step by Step guide Video

Few days before I was struggling to import the huge file data from excel into Dynamics AX as AX COM connector is not much powerful to import huge file data from excel. One of mine friends suggested me to go through .Net business connector to achieve the import functionality more quickly. Here is the link which you can also find useful while integrating AX with different .Net based applications. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cesardelatorre/archive/2007/07/06/accessing-dynamics-ax-4-0-from-net-using-the-dynamics-ax-net-business-connector.aspx

I found a comprehensive blog describing the tips and tricks and code samples to implement workflow in your environment.  I will be pleased to share it with all ;  http://workflowax.wordpress.com/
