Append text from one file to an other

This method will append all text from the original file to the destination file.
While this is a very easy task, the method shows many of the things you come across when you are working with files in AX, like:
- Using the #File macro
- Asserting FileIOPermission to be able to access files
- Asserting InteropPermission to be able to use .NET Interop
- Using a set to assert multiple permissions at once
- Using .NET Clr Interop in AX (better than winapi and winapiserver)
- Optional cleaning up after you’re done using reverAssert()

void AppendFileToFile(FileName original, FileName distination)
{
    #File
    FileIOPermission    FileIOPermissionA   = new FileIOPermission(distination, #io_append);
    FileIOPermission    FileIOPermissionR   = new FileIOPermission(original, #io_read);
    InteropPermission   InteropPermission   = new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop);
    Set                 permissionset       = new set(types::Class);
    ;

    // create permissionset
    permissionset.add(FileIOPermissionA);
    permissionset.add(FileIOPermissionR);
    permissionset.add(InteropPermission);
    // assert permissions
    CodeAccessPermission::assertMultiple(permissionset);
    // append text from source file to destination file
    System.IO.File::AppendAllText(distination, System.IO.File::ReadAllText(original));

    // limit the scope of the assert
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...

Credit Note [Dynamics AX] using X++

This post will help to create credit note for a sales order based on the invent lot id. All the invoices raised for a particular sales line – Lot Id will be raised back as a credit note.
