This seems to do nothing

I have been debugging new AX2009 to which we migrated recently, and sometimes it is a real fun!

if (numberOfTransOpen == 1 ||
            (numberOfTransOpen > 1 && !printPaymentSchedule))
        {
            // this seems to do nothing
            if (printPaymentSchedule)
            {
                select firstonly tmpCustVendTransOpen;
            }

Microsoft Dynamics Salary Survey 2010

Now, this is the time to participate in the annual Microsoft Dynamics Salary Survey conducted by Nigel Frank International.

It takes actually two minutes to fill in. This is in English, but it is very easy to understand.

As a prize you will get a copy of the survey results, which are a comprehensive analysis of comparative salary data in different aspects: geography, domains, positions and so on. You can see 2009 report here.

Value in Query range

How to use Enum values in Query ranges:

public void init()
{
    QueryBuildRange   criteriaOpen;
    ;
    super();
    criteriaOpen = this.query().dataSourceTable(tableNum(ProdTable)).addRange(fieldnum(ProdTable, ProdStatus));
    criteriaOpen.value("Started"); // it does not work in non-English interface!!!

    criteriaOpen.value(enum2str(ProdStatus::StartedUp)); // not enough good...

        criteriaOpen.value(QueryValue(ProdStatus::StartedUp); // now it is correct!    
}

Vania Kashperuk's Tutorial: refresh, reread, research, executeQuery

First of all, I have to admit that this subject was a little vague for me. This is why I read with a huge interest this new Vania's tutorial about how to use efficiently and correctly these four data source methods.

In fact, it is always much easier to acquire new knowledge on real examples, and luckily this is the case! Not only explained he step-by-step the difference between the methods but also provided us with a ready-to-use project  for Dynamics AX 2009, which can help a lot to them who have just started working with the system.

So, I highly recommend his blog to every AX developer. 

To whom it may be useful, I adapted this xpo-project to Dynamics AX 4.0. 

Didn't get it right? Just reread() it and refresh() your knowledge!
