Microsoft Dynamics Ax 2009 web project template is missing in visual studio 2008

If you cant see the Dynamics AX Web Project template in Visual Studio, please go through the following list:

If a user can see Microsoft Dynamics Ax Web Project template it’s because in his/her profile on system the template is available. In general the template is located on a windows 2003 server at C:\Documents and Settings\[user id ]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Web Developer\CSharp\ AxWebProject.zip

To make Microsoft Dynamics Ax Web Project template available for other users copy the Templates folder from the user who can see template and paste it to other users’ profile It assumed that your templates are available in the default located as mentioned in above path

1.    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[user id ]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\

2.    Copy Templates folder

3.    Open the other users’ profile and go to C:\Documents and Settings\[user id ]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\

4.    Paste the Templates folder. If system says to overwrite it click on yes option.

5.    You may need to refresh Visual Studios cache of templates after copying them:

6.    Open the Visual Studio command prompt (Start \ Programs \ Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 \ Visual Studio Tools \ Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt) and type devenv /installvstemplates.

7.    If you still don't see the template, remember that you need to select C# as your project programming language before it shows up.

If you can see the template but can't connect to the AX AOS from Visual Studio check the following:

1.    Check that .NET Business Connector has been correctly installed and that the configuration points to the correct AOS instance.

2.    Check that the user you run Visual Studio with, has login and proper development permissions in AX.

 

3.    Check that the "Dynamics AX Enterprise Portal Tools" Add-in is correctly installed in Visual Studio. Open Visual Studio / Tools / Add-in Manager to verify that Add-in is correctly installed and configured. If you can't see it, you must reinstall the EP Development Tools.

Highlight the Selected Record Row in Axapta Report

Hi,
To highlight the  row in axapta report based on specific value just add the following code in the execution section  of section group.

public void executeSection()
{
    int usecolor
    ;
    usecolor=WinApi::RGB2int(255,0,0);
    if(inventTable.itemprice>5)
    {

        this.foregroundColor(usecolor);
    }
    else
    {
        this.foregroundColor(white);
    }
    super();

}

this will highlight all the record where item greater then 5.
I hope it works .

How to pass parameters from Form to form

Hi,
Sometimes we want to open a form from another form with the selected record . For this we need to pass the parameters from form A to form B . This could be achieved by using args class by overriding the click method of button on form A.
In this example we will use two forms form A is salesLine form and form B is inventenquiry form. when the user will click on the button on form A it will open form B filtering the record according the form A value.lets start

1. Put a button on form A and override its click method
2. write the following code

void clicked()
{
    //super();
    Args args=new Args();
    Itemid itemid;
    FormRun formRun;
    ;
    args.name(formstr(InventEnquiry)); // invent enquiry is the form B
    args.parm(salesLine.ItemId);// passing the item id from Form A
 
    formRun = classFactory.formRunClass(args); /// passing the args class
    formRun.init();
    formRun.run();
    formRun.wait();
 
}
3.Now override the init method of the form B data source inventTable

public void init()
{
     super();
     if(element.args().parm())
    {

       this.query().dataSourceName('InventTable').addRange(fieldnum(InventTable,ItemId)).value(element.args().parm());
       this.query().userUpdate(false);
            this.query().interactive(false);

    }

}

Hope it helps
