Calling into .NET from AX7 - Is Polymorphism supported?

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi, 

I have the following problem that I don't really understand. I have an event hook on the CustTable, which calls into a .NET class

[DataEventHandler(tableStr(CustTable), DataEventType::Updated)]
public static void CustTable_onUpdated(Common sender, DataEventArgs e)

{

   CustTable ct = sender as CustTable;
   var dispatcher = new Caller.Dispatcher();
   dispatcher.Call(ct);

}


My .NET class has the following method

public string Call(Dynamics.AX.Application.CustTable cTable)

{
...
}

However, the compiler complains

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Method 'Call(System.Object)' is not found on type 'Caller.Dispatcher'. ......

However, if I used this signature;

public string Call(Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.Common cTable)
{
...
}

It doesn't complain. If I have both methods, it will still call the Base (Common) one, rather than the CustTable method. 

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks, Jason

    I'm certain this basic scenario of passing CustTable to a C# method accepting CustTable worked at some point, but trying it now it seems like indeed that doesn't compile, I'm seeing the same issue. I'm following up with the compiler team here and will update you when I get an answer.

    On your question on polymorphism, I think I understand what you are asking but I think it's the same issue... if the compiler somehow considers common and CustTable as different types altogether, then that could lead to other issues. Speculation, let's fix the first issue first.
