D365 Code Generator for Visual Studio 2022

D365 Code Generator is a lightweight, platform-independent Visual Studio 2022 extension designed to accelerate X++ development for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. It instantly generates standardized, production-ready SysOperation framework code (Contract, Service, Controller) without relying on local Dynamics environment dependencies.

🛠️ Generated Code Example

1. Contract Class (CustUpdateProcessContract)

[DataContractAttribute]
public class CustUpdateProcessContract
{
    private CustAccount custAccount;

    [DataMemberAttribute, SysOperationLabel(literalStr("@SYS12345"))]
    public CustAccount parmCustAccount(CustAccount _custAccount = custAccount)
    {
        custAccount = _custAccount;
        return custAccount;
    }
}

2. Service Class (CustUpdateProcessService)

public class CustUpdateProcessService extends SysOperationServiceBase
{
    public void process(CustUpdateProcessContract _contract)
    {
        // TODO: Add your business logic here
        // CustAccount _custAccount = _contract.parmCustAccount();

        info("Process completed successfully.");
    }
}

3. Controller Class (CustUpdateProcessController)

public class CustUpdateProcessController extends SysOperationServiceController
{
    public void new()
    {
        super(classStr(CustUpdateProcessService),
              methodStr(CustUpdateProcessService, process),
              SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);
    }

    public static void main(Args _args)
    {
        CustUpdateProcessController controller = new CustUpdateProcessController();
        
        controller.parmArgs(_args);
        controller.parmDialogCaption("CustUpdateProcessController operation is running...");
        
        controller.parmShowDialog(true);
        controller.startOperation();
    }
}
