Custom Object Explorer

Epicor ERP 10

Any way to get the Custom Object Explorer to show the example in C# instead?

I’m replicating a customization I did in V8 in E10. The V8 code was

Private Sub setPMCombo()
Dim recSelected as Boolean
Dim whereClause as String = “Checkbox01 = False”

    'MessageBox.Show(whereClause)
    Dim dsSetPMCombo as Dataset = Epicor.Mfg.UI.FormFunctions.SearchFunctions.listLookup(oTrans,"UD05Adapter", recSelected, False, whereClause)
    if (recSelected) Then
        ucbPM.ValueMember = "ShortChar01"
        ucbPM.DataSource = dsSetPMCombo
        ucbPM.DisplayMember = "ShortChar01"
        Dim fields as String() = New String() {"ShortChar01"}
        ucbPM.SetColumnFilter(fields)
        ucbPM.LimitToList = true
    end if
end sub

I’m having a problem on how to structure the Dim dsSetPMCombo as Dataset = ... line in C#

Never mind … I figured out how to make a customization in VB mode.

The trick was you have to start with the “Base” and select VB mode. Selecting VB mode when opening a customization that was created with C#, still requires C#.

It is highly recommended that you do all your coding in 10 in C#

VB is currently supported but it is not guaranteed to be supported in the future, plus the VB customizations will not port to the mobile or the everywhere framework.

Your best be is to get a nice C# book and learn the syntax, there are several tools out there that will also convert VB to C#

Whats the quick way to make a Rule with the Rule Wizard, where the Rule value is blank?

It won’t let you make the rule if that field is blank. So I put just an X in it, create the rule, and then go change it in the script editor.

Is there any other way to use the Rule Wizard to check for a blank field?

that should work, you can also use the “Custom Condition”

I just now see “Constant: NullValue”
