Hi All. I am a .NET programmer, however am new to great plains and just read the documention on VS tools kindly provided by Steve Gray.

I am however having trouble understanding some concepts, and I did expect more explanations in the VS Intellisense.  Is there any documentation avaiable about the available components and their properties? 

 For example. I am even having trouble doing something simple like retrieving the count of records in a LineScroll component. I was expecting to find myForm.myWindow.LineScroll.Rows.Count or something, but went through the intellisense list and I drew a blank :( Anyone can help please?

Rob:

I didn't have any luck with the documentation, that's why I started this blog - so we could help each other.

I had a similar question when I started and I sent a support request to MS. Their answer, basically, was that there is very limited support for the grid in 9.0 for architecture reasons, and it might get better in 10. I can tell you for sure that there is no way to get a count in the grid.

Post any other questions that you have here, I'll be happy to help.

 

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply. Of course you can always get the row count for the grid using SQL, which is how I did it, however i'm quite disappointed so far as I thought there would be much more functionality then their currently is avaiable. Fingers crossed for GP 10!
