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();
}

Print Report in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 through X++

I am trying to print sales confirmation report on a button click which I have added on Sales Order Detail form in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009. On click event of that button, I have written following code: void clicked() {     Args                args;     ReportRun           reportRun;     SalesFormLetter     salesFormLetter;     PrintJobSettings    printJobSettings;     CustConfirmJour     custConfirmJour;     RecordSortedList    list                = new RecordSortedList(55);     SalesTable          salesTableUpdate;     ;     SELEC...

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...

calculate total sales order or sales quotation amount / discounts / tax etc., through code( X++ ) in AX

this can be achieved through code using SalesTotals class. Check out the below code snippet. SalesTotals   salesTotals; SalesTable   salesTable; container   displayFields; str     totalTax, amountWithoutTax, amountInclTax; salesTable = salesTable::find('SO-1112345'); salesTotals = SalesTotals::construct(salesTable, salesUpdate::All); salesTotals.calc(); displayFields = salesTotals.displayFieldsCurrency( salesTotals.currencyCode() ); amountWithoutTax = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals ::posBalance()); amountInclTax   = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals::posTotalAmount()); totalTax    = conpeek(displayFields,TradeTotals::posTaxTotal()); In the above way, we can get all the values available in the totals form in the Sales Order Form by changing the TradeTotals values. We can get the values in the desired currency by providing a valid currency as a parameter to the displayFieldsCurr...
