[X++] SysExtension Attribute name of parm method
If you are using the SysExtensionFramework introduced with Dynamics AX 2012 and creating a new attribute class derived from SysAttribute
, you have to name the parm-method(s) of your new attribute class like your parameter in the new-method!
Otherwise you will have a bad time figuring out that the following line checks this in standard:
\Classes\SysExtModelAppClassPropValueMapProvider\addPropertyValue
Line 16 checks if the parm method with name format 'parm' + [nameOfParameter] is present.
Example
classDeclaration
class MyNewAttribute extends SysAttribute
{
ClassId locClassId;
}
new
Note the name of the parameter matches the name of the parm method!
public void new(ClassId _locClassId)
{
super();
this.parmLocClassId(_locClassId);
}
parm
public ClassId parmLocClassId(ClassId _locClassId = locClassId)
{
locClassId = _locClassId;
return locClassId;
}
I hope to save you the 10 minutes of time and the nerves I spent on figuring this out.
