How to get number of custom lines of code in a class

Hi guys,

Can anyone please guide me how can I count the number of lines of custom code written in any method in a class.

For example; In SysMailer class I added few lines of code in method quickSend which is at CUS layer (this could be at any layer). I have managed to get the total number of lines of code in each method by traversing it through treeNode and then by calling fieldNode.AOTgetExecuatableLineCount() method. However, now I just want to count custom lines of code.

I do have an idea of the sysCompare class which is used behind compare tool in AX to compare code on different layers. It highlighted the difference in red color. However, it does not tell me the number of lines of custom code.

Any idea would highly be appreciated.

public TreeNode getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel layer, [boolean old])

msdn.microsoft.com/.../treenode.getnodeinlayer.aspx

than your part again

Thanks Dick,

I used getNodeInLayer method this way;

treeNode = treeNode.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::cus)

and then treeNode.AOTgetSource() which returns the actual source code.

I do have another treeNode object (baseTreeNode) which holds sys layer source Code.

I compared baseTreeNode with treeNode, if there not equal which means there is custom code.

Is there any method which can tell me difference in both layers which I can then use to calculate number of lines.

why do you need it?

did you import models, and want to see the difference,

in that case create a baseline db and start a code compare project

But what does it means? If you delete one standard line and replace with custom code, the number of lines is equal, which isn't sufficient information.

You can say that you have one custom line, or you can say that deleting the line is also a change so you have two lines of changes.

Please have a look at below picture, the blue code is custom code and I want to calculate number of lines for this custom code. which will tell me how much % of code has been customized in this method.

Not an answer to your question, but please do not do data validation in data modification methods. Please use validateWrite or validateField for that.

Thats another important point to work on Martin but initially I am trying to find custom line of code in a simple case where only few lines are added to a method as I showed.

I think you should look on lcs.dynamics.com customization analysis

In that case, you've already got all information you need to implement it. For example:

#AOT TreeNode node = TreeNode::findNode(@'\Classes\Application\getApplTables'); int sys = node.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::sys).AOTgetExecutableLineCount(); int syp = node.getNodeInLayer(UtilEntryLevel::syp).AOTgetExecutableLineCount();
