Editor scripts

I’ve noticed that there are only two editor scripts that I am using during development. First one is XML documentation template (Scripts\Documentation\Header Template) – very nice script for documenting classes\methods. It automatically generates documentation sections for description, input and output parameters and exceptions. The second one is parm method template (Scripts\Template\Method\Parm) – creates a standard AX getter\setter. The rest of the scripts are either to specific and need for them doesn’t appear in my daily work or they are doing too simple things and it is faster for me just type them.
What editor scripts are you using from standard AX?
What known editor scripts extensions are you using?
What kind of custom editor scripts are you implementing for yourself?

  1. I use a custom code to do one line comments (date, user and task).

    More infrequently I use the parm, find and exist method creators (the last two is not standard, but should be).

    I really dislike the XML doc in top of methods, it is looks ugly and is not easy to read.

    A shame as there are other alternatives like reStructered Text: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-matters24/

  2. I have created a script that gives me a default interop method:

    public static void interopMethodStub()
    {
    System.Exception e;
    ;

    new InteropPermission(InteropKind::ClrInterop).assert();

    try
    {

    }
    catch (Exception::CLRError)
    {
    e = CLRInterop::getLastException();
    while( e )
    {
    info( e.get_Message() );
    e = e.get_InnerException();
    }
    throw Exception::CLRError;
    }

    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
    }


    I also use a modified parm method from Axaptapedia that creates a parmMethod based on the selected line in the class declaration.

  3. Ok, that is interesting, however I expected more comments on this topic:)

    I agree that find, exist and interop methods are quite useful.

    Regarding documentation - the way it is done in AX conforms with other Microsoft products. The docs are formed in the same way by VS. This approach targets more exteral help system they can be transferred to rather then readability from code. reStructured approach looks interesting and more readable, I agree, but I am not sure that it's easy towrite it without mistakes.

  4. I added a script method that creates a conditional hard breakpoint based on a custom boolean for the current user in the infolog.globalCache():
    if(infoLog.globalCache().get(curuserId(),'debugFlag'))
    {
    breakpoint;
    }

    The debugFlag property is set using a simple job:

    static void setDebugFlag(Args _args)
    {
    boolean debugFlag;
    Dialog dialog;
    DialogField dfDebugFlag;
    NoYes result;
    ;

    dialog = new Dialog("Set debug flag value");

    dfDebugFlag = dialog.addField(typeid(noyes),"Debugging");

    dfDebugFlag.value(infoLog.globalCache().get(curuserId(),debugFlag));


    if(dialog.run())
    {
    result = dfDebugFlag.value() ? infolog.globalCache().set(curuserId(),debugFlag,true) : infolog.globalCache().set(curuserId(),debugFlag,false);
    }

    if(infolog.globalCache().get(curuserId(),debugFlag))
    Debug::printDebug("DebugFlag set.");

    if(!infolog.globalCache().get(curuserId(),debugFlag))
    Debug::printDebug("DebugFlag not set.");

  5. I am using AxAssist Editor extension and quite happy with it.
    It was a nightmare to code in AX after Visual Studio so I was very delighted when I found AxAssist extension.

    It provides IntellySense extension as long as some editor scripts.
    Also customizable hotkeys are very handy.
