Any official documentation on Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.MetadataSupport?

Posted on by 670

With AX7 there has been a switch to use Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.MetadataSupport when getting any sort of metadata, and there are a number of posts/articles about how to use it.

But is there any documentation on what methods are available on this class? (something like MSDN has for almost every other AX class)

Intellisense in Visual Studio doesn't provide any methods at all and you can't F12 to see the code behind it.

The issue I am running into is that the GetDataEntityViewNames() call is not returning Composite or Aggregate Data Entities (it returns normal data entities just fine) and I wanted to see if there is a different call to get these.

    I'm not aware of any documentation, but IntelliSense does work fine for me.

    No source code is distributed for this assembly, only the compiled DLL. But you can use a decompiler, if you want.

    Interesting, well I'm glad there is intellisense on it to see the methods behind it.

    Here's what it looks like for me:

    Not sure how we are seeing different functionality but must be something up with my Visual Studio.
