Hi all,
We are upgrading our application which is on Dexterity 8.0 to Dexterity 14.0. Previously we can access from .NET to Global Variable which has control type of Reference via TamerSoft DexToNet.
We are trying to do the same with Microsoft GP AddIns however we cannot access to this type of variable. The Intellisense Data XML file does not include this global variable. For other control types of string, integer, Boolean.. are still fine. Does Microsoft GP not support the access to this type of control?
Appreciate any help,
Thanks in advance,
Kelvin
Hi Kelvin
References variables/parameters and anonymous parameters are not supported by Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
If it does not show in IntelliSense, you cannot access it using standard functionality.

I don't think you can access global variables who are actually a reference by nature. The don't present physically and most of them are initialized or set with property when they used in dexterity.
Hi Justin,
Thanks for your reply.
I gave up to access to reference type global. This issue is also happening to functions/procedures where parameters are reference type (COM object) as well.
I am changing all COM objects to .NET Assembly.
Thanks anyway.
Kelvin
Hello Kelvin,
According to the Programmers Guide, I do not see any Control Type or Data Type restrictions for Global Variables.
You can find that guide here:www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx
I do note that the only examples we have are for the other types you mention:
Numeric global variables are initialized to zero, string global variables to empty, and boolean global variables to false.
This could mean that you will be unable to use a Global with a Control Type of Reference.
That said, some of our community is quite good at working through Dex, so perhaps they have a better option.
