Compile Error: 178: Does not contain a definition and no extension method

Hey, I am working at the Web Control PurchReqTableInfo.

In the PurchReqTableInfo.ascx.cs and in the code I am trying to read a custom field:

long dimensionAttributeValueSetId = this.PurchReqTable.SYCDefaultDimension;

I am new in EP so I am not sure if I have to extend something for custom fields. Hopefully someone can help me.

Greetings - Alex

    Could you please post the whole error message? The title doesn't include the name of the property.

    Hey Martin - sure:

    \PurchReqTableInfo.ascx.cs(766): error CS1061: 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Portal.Application.Proxy.PurchReqTable' does not contain a definition for 'SYCDefaultDimension' and no extension method 'SYCDefaultDimension' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.Dynam

    Is the name correct?

    What if you rebuild the project containing the proxy of PurchReqTable?

    The name is correct - Just have an AX-Project with the web controls and the PurchReqTable - I already did a compile.

    Look at PurchReqTable from VS (not from AX client). Do you see the field?

    Yes, the field is there in VS.

    So you're saying that field is visible in  Application Explorer but if you rebuild the project containing your proxy class, the proxy still doesn't contain the field, right? What if you drop the proxy and create it again?

    How exactly should I do that? I just work with AX - I guess you are talking about a VS-Project?

    What exactly do you mean by Proxy? Is this the table?

    Should I follow this guide?:

    Okay... please start from the beginning and tell us what you're doing.

    How did you write the C# code in your question (long dimensionAttributeValueSetId = this.PurchReqTable.SYCDefaultDimension) if you don't do anything in Visual Studio?

    I take it that you never updated the proxy, so that's the key problem. But I would first like to know what you're doing,

    By the way, you can learn some basics from Enterprise Portal Development Cookbook.

    I know you can edit the Web Controls in the Visual Studio but I created an AX-Project and added the Web Control PurchReqTableInfo to it. There I edited the Object within AX (the ugly Editor). After that I deployed the Project to EP.

    If I take a look at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\Virjavascript:void(0);tualDirectories\80\App_Code\Proxies, I can find the Proxy for the PurchReqTable.

    If I take a look into the PurchReqTable.cs I can find some Code for SYCDefaultDimension:

    /// <summary>
        /// Dimension
        /// </summary>
        [ColumnAttribute()]
        [SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Design", "CA1062:ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods")]
        public virtual long SYCDefaultDimension {
            get {
                return ((long)(this.get_Field("SYCDefaultDimension")));
            }
            set {
                this.set_Field("SYCDefaultDimension", value);
                this.OnPropertyChanged("SYCDefaultDimension");
                if ((SYCDefaultDimensionChanged != null)) {
                    this.SYCDefaultDimensionChanged(this, new System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs("SYCDefaultDimension"));
                }
            }
        }

public event System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler SYCDefaultDimensionChanged;
