Use resource files in Axapta

Use resource files in Axapta

In Application Object Tree, you can find resources node.
Select resources node and right click; select Create from File, specify the file location for the new resource file. After that you can use this resource file in Axapta without specifying an absolute file path in your local/server system.

First, pick up the resource node from AOT;


SysResource::getResourceNode();

Then generate a temporary file for this resource file;

SysResource::saveToTempFile()

Finally specify the temporary file path for controls.
Here comes an example to show how to use a resource file as a background image of  a given form.

{
ResourceNode            resourceNode;
FilePath  imagename;
;
resourceNode = SysResource::getResourceNode(resourcestr(ResourceName));
if (resourceNode)
{
resourceNode. AOTload();
imagename =  SysResource::saveToTempFile(resourceNode);
}
else
{
throw Error(“No file exists.”)
}

element.design().imageName(imagename);
}

You can try This also
Add a resource file in Resource node under AOT, Right click on Resource Node -> select "Create From File"



Select a file  from your your local drive.



 You can change the label and name of this file as require.














To use this image file in your code just add following code 

SysResource::getResourceNodeData(SysResource::getResourceNode('theaxapta_File'));

Enjoy.......

Conditional Joins in x++

Conditional Joins in x++
Here is the code to apply joins conditionally in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

query = new Query();
dsInventTable = query.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTable), "InventTable");
dsInventItemBarCode = dsInventTable.addDataSource(tableNum(InventItemBarCode), "InventItemBarCode");
dsInventItemBarCode.joinMode(JoinMode::ExistsJoin);
// Add any two ranges
queryBuildRange1 = dsInventTable.addRange(fieldNum(InventTable, DataAreaId));
queryBuildRange2 = dsInventItemBarCode.addRange(fieldNum(InventItemBarCode, DataAreaId));

Find all records where either the ItemType is Service, or the ItemType is Item and a barcode exists. The join criteria is only applied in the second half of the expression, so all Service items will appear irrespective of whether they have a bar code. Again, this is not possible to achieve using the standard query ranges.

queryBuildRange2.value(strFmt('((%1.%2 == %3) || ((%1.%2 == %4) && (%1.%5 == %6)))',
query.dataSourceTable(tableNum(InventTable)).name(), // InventTable %1
fieldStr(InventTable, ItemType), // ItemType %2
any2int(ItemType::Service), // %3
any2int(ItemType::Item), // %4
fieldStr(InventTable, ItemId), // ItemId %5
fieldStr(InventItemBarCode, ItemId))); // %
