Convert SalesStatus from enum to str?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello there,

I am writing a Document service for the SalesTable and i want to convert the Sales Status which is an enum to  a string and therfore i have done the following:

[DataMemberAttribute('SalesStatus')]
public str parmSalesStatus(str _SalesStatus = SalesStatus)
{
SalesStatus = _SalesStatus;
return SalesStatus;
}

mapsales
this.parmSalesStatus(enum2str(_sales.SalesStatus));

Will this in anyway effect anything? I just want to make sure nothing wrong happens and i get the values.

    What is wrong with enum, why are you doing this ?

    Just want it as a string? Any problem with doing this?

    Because if you have method that returns enum in AX like this :

    [DataMemberAttribute]

public SalesType SalesType(SalesType _salesType = salesType)

{

  salesType = _salesType;

  return salesType;

}

    in c sharp you will use it next way :

    SalesType = ServiceReference.SalesType.ItemReq

    And if you will try to pass any random text you will get compile time error.

    In case of strings you can type any random value like

    SalesType = "12345657";

    and will get runtime error.

    I did not say that it won't work :)

    I'm saying that using enums is safer that strings, that's all.
