Form extension link to original Form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Yuji 4,131

Hi,

If I create a class extension, I can see the "[ExtensionOf(classStr(B))]" on the code. 

But when I create a form extension, where can find the link between class extension and original class?

Also, the objects created in VS are now "ObjectName"."ModelName", it was "ObjectName"."Extension". Is there any way to change this?

Thanks,

I have the same question (0)

    Form extension is not a class, it's a specific object type. To create it you need to right click on the form in AOT.

    .ModelName is a recent change to default naming  of form or table extensions. You can rename object after creation and change sufix to whatever you want.

    All extensions of the form have the name of the original form in them.

    For example SalesTable.MyExtension1, SalesTable.MyExtension2.

    I don't think you can change the default naming of form/table extensions in VS. I think Microsoft changed it because of naming conflicts between different customers and ISVs. You were always adviced to change the name from .Extension to .MyExtension (where My is your own prefix). But now the Visual Studio tools name it according to your model, so it's less likely that there are conflicts even if you don't change the extension name after creating it.
