Hi Everyone , There are multiple ways you can run Runnable class. One way is we can attach it to Menu item and add it to any form and execute it using menu item. Another way is set it up you project as startup object and runnable class as startup object in Visual Studio and run it from Visual studio. Another way of running it is from your browser (IE/Chrome). https:// URL> /?cmp= &mi=SysClassRunner&cls= Parameters: Cmp = Your company name e.g USMF Cls = Your Runnable class name e.g. ShowInvoicedOrderCount https://usnconeboxax1aos.cloud.onebox.dynamics.com/?cmp=USMF&mi=SysClassRunner&cls=ShowInvoicedOrderCount Whenever you want to quickly verify anything this way is very useful and you don’t have to spent time seeing while visual studio opens diagnostic tool and load other windows.

In Dynamics Ax implementation very often we get requirement to upload data using csv files. Although  in Dynamics 365 for operations it can be easily done using data entities and data packages, in this blog we will see how can we use new FileUpload control and design classes to read, download files. In   Dynamics 365 for operations  application runs on cloud and the client is in web , so Microsoft has introduce new process to read files using Azure blob. When we upload file, that file gets uploaded to Azure blob and we have to read that file from Azure blob to retrieve data. Design classes: There are two main types of classes that developers can work with for the file upload control: Upload strategy class  – This class lets developers control various parameters that should be enforced for uploaded files, such as the types of files that a user can upload and the maximum size of a file. It also lets developers determine where and how ...

Hi All , In this blog post we will see how to use System.IO.Compression Namespace to read files from Zip folder. The System.IO.Compression namespace contains classes that provide basic compression and decompression services for streams. I came across requirement where I had to read files from zip folder containing data for payroll and import it in Journals. Following piece of code will give you idea about how to use compression namespace to get count of the files with in folder , how to  extract file from zip folder and copy to stream object which can be used further for reading content of the file. void processZipFile() { #File FileUpload fileUploadControl = this.getFormControl(dialog, FileUploadName); FileUploadTemporaryStorageResult fileUploadResult = fileUploadControl.getFileUploadResult(); if (fileUploadResult != null && fileUploadResult.getUploadStatus()) { zipFileName = fileUp...
