In this example, I am storing XML file as Resource under AOT of Dynamics Ax.

Find the related jobs at the following path, this path contains two jobs for

1)      Creation of new resource file.

2)      Reading the same resource as file.

For this article I got basic inputs from one of my previous colleague Santosh blog and also from MS employee Dilip (DaxDilip) blog.

Thanks to both of you.

When we are developing the workflow for EP in Dynamics Ax 2009,

We won’t find the workflow related control on the Tool box list, as we are finding other controls like AxGridView etc.

For this explicitly we need to add the Markup tags to the control.

Select the AxUserControl, right click and select the View Markup

Add the following lines in the markup view (change the properties accordingly as your scenarios)

<%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

    Namespace="Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.UI.WebControls.Workflow" TagPrefix="dynamics" %>

<dynamics:AxWorkflowActionBar ID="WorkflowActionBar" runat="server"

    DataMember="ProjProposalJour_Current"

    DataSourceID="dsEPProjProposalInfo"     onworkflowworkitemactioncompleted="WorkflowActionBar_WorkflowWorkItemActionCompleted" />

<dynamics:AxDataSource ID="dsEPProjProposalInfo" runat="server" DataSetName="EPProjProposalInfo" />

Observe form the above markup tags AxWorkflowActionBar and AxDataSource are connected using AxDatasource ID. (Properties mentioned in green color)

To implement the methods related to workflow control in the code behind sheet (in Actual C# code sheet), add the following line.

using Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.Portal.UI.WebControls.Workflow; 

For more details and how to implemnet the worklfow for EP pages, go through the following link.

In some scenarios, in a single web page we need to Hide/Show the certain web parts based on the user profile.

By using the following code snippets we can Hide the web parts of the page.

This example is for Hiding

1)      AxToolbarWebPart

2)      AxUserControlWebPart

Hidding the Toolbar

private void hideWebMenuToolBar()

    {

        WebPartManager webPartManager = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(this.Page) as WebPartManager;

        AxToolbarWebPart toolBarWebPart;

        for (int i = 0; i < webPartManager.WebParts.Count; i++)

        {

             toolBarWebPart = webPartManager.WebParts[i] as AxToolbarWebPart;           

            if (toolBarWebPart != null && toolBarWebPart.WebMenuName == "TmCustomers")

            {

                toolBarWebPart.Hidden = true;

                break;

            }    

        }

    }

Hidding the User control webpart

    private void hideWebPart()

    {

        WebPartManager webPartManager = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager(this.Page) as WebPartManager;

        AxUserControlWebPart webPart;

        for (int i = 0; i < webPartManager.WebParts.Count; i++)

        {

            webPart = webPartManager.WebParts[i] as AxUserControlWebPart;

            if (webPart != null && webPart.ManagedContentItem == "TmMattersGrid")

            {

                webPart.Hidden = true;

                break;

            }

        }

    }
