Here is a way to create a new AX table from C# (this is using an extension method):
public static bool CreateAXTable(this Axapta ax)
{
string TableName = "MyCustomTable";
string size = "255"; //You could load this from a setting
bool val = false;
if (!ax.TableExists(TableName))
{
AxaptaObject TablesNode = (AxaptaObject)ax.CallStaticClassMethod("TreeNode", "findNode", @"Data DictionaryTables");
AxaptaObject node;
AxaptaObject fields;
AxaptaObject fieldNode;
TablesNode.Call("AOTadd", TableName);
node = (AxaptaObject)ax.CallStaticClassMethod("TreeNode", "findNode", "\Data dictionary\Tables\" + TableName);
fields = (AxaptaObject)ax.CallStaticClassMethod("TreeNode", "findNode", "\Data dictionary\Tables\" + TableName + "\Fields");
fields.Call("addString", "String1"); //add a string field
fieldNode = (AxaptaObject)fields.Call("AOTfindChild", "String1"); //grab a reference to the field
fieldNode.Call("AOTsetProperty", "StringSize", size);
fieldNode.Call("AOTsave");
fields.Call("addString", "String2"); //add a string field
fieldNode = (AxaptaObject)fields.Call("AOTfindChild", "String2"); //grab a reference to the field
fieldNode.Call("AOTsetProperty", "StringSize", size);
fieldNode.Call("AOTsave");
fields.Call("addString", "String3"); //add a string field
fieldNode = (AxaptaObject)fields.Call("AOTfindChild", "String3"); //grab a reference to the field
fieldNode.Call("AOTsetProperty", "StringSize", size);
fieldNode.Call("AOTsave");
fields.Call("addString", "String4"); //add a string field
fieldNode = (AxaptaObject)fields.Call("AOTfindChild", "String4"); //grab a reference to the field
fieldNode.Call("AOTsetProperty", "StringSize", size);
fieldNode.Call("AOTsave");
fields.Call("addReal", "Real1");
fields.Call("addReal", "Real2");
fields.Call("addReal", "Real3");
fields.Call("addReal", "Real4");
fields.Call("addDate", "Date1");
fields.Call("addDate", "Date2");
fields.Call("addDate", "Date3");
fields.Call("addDate", "Date4");
fields.Call("AOTsave");
node.Call("AOTsave");
AxaptaObject appl = ax.GetObject("appl");
appl.Call("dbSynchronize", Convert.ToInt32(node.Call("applObjectId")), false);
val = true;
}
else //Table already exists
{
val = true;
}
return val;
}
public static bool TableExists(this Axapta ax, string tableName)
{
return ((int)ax.CallStaticClassMethod("Global", "tableName2Id", tableName) > 0);
}
