SysOperationFramework

I have tried out the new SysOperationFramework of Dynamics Ax 2012 that is going to replace the old RunBase framework. The SysOperationFramework is service based batch framework and it is my feeling at the moment that it will provide us with more possibilities for creating and setting up batch jobs in the real world. There is no need for me to create a full blog about the SysOperationFramework since I am not the first one to try this out. So i will simply refer to another blog post about the SysOperationFramework  http://www.artofcreation.be/2011/08/21/ax2012-sysoperation-introduction/ Thanks to Art Of Creation – Dynamics AX Blog for an outstanding good blog post on the matter Happy batch programming my friends

Dynamics Ax 2012 events and managed C# code

I have been playing around with the eventing model of Dynamics Ax 2012 and I was playing with the possibility to have the event handler in managed C# code. I used this MSDN example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg889181.aspx The only thing that i had to do not mentioned in the article was to restart the Ax client after I had deployed the Visual Studio project to the Dynamics Ax AOT. After that the post event was fired with out any problems. I guess this has somehting more to do with the environment that i am using rather then some general issue with Dynamics Ax 2012 and manged code. I have developed quite a few examples with X++ and manged code with out any problems on the same virtual machine. I am using the Dynamics Ax 2012 VPC from Microsoft.

First of all i would like to give thanks to Anees Ansari and Mey Meenakshisundaram at Microsoft for their input. I have been playing around with EP 2012 for one year now and few weeks ago I decided   I wanted to try out the new AxHierarchicalGridView . I opened my Ax 2012 VPC started Visual Studio and created a new Ax web user control to hold my AxHierarchicalGridView control.   At first I wondered if the grid would support display of sales table information with the sales table as header and the lines as sub rows in the grid. This was not working so I started to wonder how the data model behind the grid should be. If few trials which all failed I contacted Mey Meenakshisundaram at Microsoft to get some information on how to use this control. He forwarded the request to Anees Ansari Product Manager at Microsoft - Web Platform and Standards Team .    Anees contacted me and we setup a live meeting where he would demonstrate the use of the control and how the data...
