    Hi,

    The most common case where we use eventhandlers is when we want to execute any custom business logic prior/later to insert/update of table record or based on activity(on class) to trriger the event. Usage is that for new custom code, we can make use of event handlers without adding any code to the standard code(decoupling) and thereby more organized by placing/grouping code in one class.

    Please refer following links:

    Thanks Chaitanya,

    Suppose if i am going to create a new Customer. So,before customer creation i want to run some business logic that logic should be write in to "Pre event" and after Customer creation if i want to send emails to users so, that logic should be write in to"Post event".

    Is't correct?

    Please give me more shed on this.

    Hi @rp@n

    Event Handlers in X++ look like trigger in SQL, you can run business logic after and before update or insert

    Hi,

    Yes. Probably you can create Pre and post insert eventhandlers to custTable insert method and include your custom code over there.
