Create project from model after moving elements - AX7

Posted on by Nehal Mistry

Is there a way to create a Visual Studio project from a model? I can add the elements manually, but:

1) This is a manual process and I can easily miss elements.

2) They are not organized into subfolders within the project automatically.

In most situations, you would simply add the elements from within the project so it will always have all the elements, but I occasionally need to move elements to a different model. I am assuming that I need to manually move the XML files to move the elements, which will cause my VS projects to be out of sync with the models.

Thank you.

How about searching by Model Display Name, by putting it inside inverted commas and they choosing option to add it to current project or to a new project, depending upon if your current VS project belongs to currently search "Model Display Name"

Sohaib,

Very nice. It added all the elements from the model.

It would be helpful to organize everything into subfolders (tables, forms, classes, etc.), but at least this is a start. Perhaps Microsoft will improve this in the future.

Thank you.

If you make setting at global level for projects in Visual Studio, all of your objects will automatically be added in proper directories or folders, without any effort.

That Visual Studio setting worked and it's now automatically going into folders. Thanks again.
