Creating Vacation Appointment for your Calendar and seeing others Appointment In Outlook

Its quit easy to setup a PTO Appointment or sum other Appointment to create in outlook and that will be easily available to view for others when they are trying to create meeting with that employ.

Below are the some easy steps for Creating an Appointment.


Step 1:

First of all go to the calender of your outlook and than select the Calender and than click the new appointment button as you can see in the image below.

Now When you click the new appointment a new wizard will open where you have to enter the subject and than timing of  appointment and than select the show as option as if you were busy or out of office in that time span and than click and than click the save and close button.Your Appointment will be created and others can easily see this while creating the  meeting request if your appointment is not set to private.

You can see all of these in the image below.

Now your appointment will be showing in the calendar as you can see in the image below

Now this was all for creating Appointment.
Now second thing I want to show you is that  while creating meeting request with others you can also see that if others are busy or on out of office or not available in that timing slot.

Below are the steps for checking the appointment of other person.

Just click the new appoitnent as you did earlier a new wizard will open and than click the scheduling assistant button as you can see in the below image.  

Now a new wizard will open and where you can enter the name of  the employee and check that whether this person is available in that timing slot or not.As you can see in the below image.

As you can see in the above image that abubakar is not available on that timing slot because he is out of office in that time.

This was all for creating the appointment and checking others are available or not in the timing slot.

Eventing Framework In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Part 2

Now In this Post I will guide you how to create Events.

We have basically already discuss that what events are.Now In Microsoft Dynamics AX two terminologies are used these are.

1.Pre Events.

2.Post Events.

Pre Events are those that called before the method and post events are those that are called after the method.

Now I will show you the Scenario I can we use Pre and Post Events.

Below are the some steps for creating and using the events.

Step 1:

First we will create the simple table with two fields i.e  as you can see this in the image below.

 Step 2:

Now we will create the SimpleListDetail Form

As you already know how to create a form.

Now after creating the SimpleListDetailsForm drag the table that we have created earlier on the datasource node of that SimpleListDetailForm.and from datasource drag the fields to the details header and grid node of the design node.

As you can see in the image below.

Run that form it should be exactly like below form.

Step 3:

Now will create a method on the table i,e assignned to to this form.The is validatewrite method and before and after that method we will create events.What I am trying to say is one event will fire before the execution of that method and one event will fire after the execution of that methods.

First we will create the method as you can see in the image  below

Step 4:

After Creating the method we will assign pre and post events to it.

Just right click the method and than select the new event handler subcription.

As you can see in the below image.

Now when you create the new event handler just go into the properties of the that eventhandler and than set the properties to the " Called When" =  Pre and than "Class name" = name of the class and "method" = name of the method that will be called before the execution of that method.

As you can see in the image below.

Now inside the zahidpre method I am just showing the message inside the info box that the pre method is called.

Now its quit easy to create this event handler method i.e zahidpre.

Just right click the class and than select new->pre-post-eventhandler.

As you can see in the image below.

An Event Handler will be created as you can see in the image below.

Now repeat the step 4 for the Post Event Handler.Only one thing you should do is when creating the Eventhandler on table just set its property "called when" = Post.

As you can see in the image below.

Now I will show you the demo that how pre and post event handlers are run when we run the form.

As you already know that inside the pre event handler I am showing the info message that "Pre is called" and same thing for the post event handler that I am showing that the "Post is called" and inside the validate write method I am showing that the "This called form the validate write method".

Now I will run the form and than insert the record and during the insertion of the record first pre event  will be call and than the validate method will be call and than the post event will be called.

 As you can see in the above form that I have inserted the record  and when I click the new button or close the form the data that I have write will going to insert into the record and that pre event will call and than the validate write method will call and than post event will call.

As you can see the messages of the info box inside the below image.

 
















Now This was all related to the Event Framework part.

Eventing Framework Part 1

Thanks

Eventing Framework In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Part 1

The two basic concepts are use in eventing framework.These are:

1.Delegates

2.Events.

Delegates and Events:

Delegates are just basicallly methods pointers they are  use to hold the refrence of methods.When we call these delegates the methods subcribe to this delegate automatically execute.

Note : we can assign more than one method to the single delegate.

Now the main purpose of delegate is use in the event driven programming.

Events are use when we want want to execute certain block of code on certain event like on button click etc.

Below is the image that will more show the concept of delegates and events

Below are some links that will elaborate more about Delegates and events.

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11541/The-Simplest-C-Events-Example-Imaginable

http://www.akadia.com/services/dotnet_delegates_and_events.html

We modeled the concept of events in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 on .NET eventing concepts.

The following table lists the terms in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 related to events.

Now I will show the demo of implementation of the Delegates and Events in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

Delegates In Microsoft Dynamics AX:

Below are the following  steps for creating Delegates and than calling them in microsoft dynamics AX 2012

First create a class and than right click on that class and than select new  ->  delegate as you can see in the below image.

Now your delegate is created successfully now add the parameters into it as you can see in the below image.

Now we need to subcribe a  method to this delegate this is because when we call this delegate the subcribe method will automatically called.

Note:we can subcribe more than one methods to the single delegate.

For subcribing methods we first need to create our method.
As I have already created as you can see in the below image.

In the above method you can see that I am adding the two numbers that I have send in the parameter and than I am going to print it.

Note:All the methods that are subcribe to delegate should have the same parameters and return type as of delagate have.

 Now I will subcribe this method to the delegate.

Now right click the delegate and than select the new event handler subcription as you can see in the below image.

Now we will subcribe our delegate to this event handler.

Just right click the event handler and select properties and than enter the
class name and its method name as you can see in the below image.

Now as you can see in the above image.I have subscribe the method 1 in to the delegate 1.

Now in the next step we will call this delegate.Now as you know that delegate can not be called outside the class so what I did  is I make method called method3 and than inside that method I am going to call the delegate and than from job I will call the method3.

You can see the method3 in the below image.

Now I will create a  job and than call this method as you can see in the image below.

Now I will show you the output in the below image.

This was all in the eventing framewoerk part 1.In the next part I will show you the detail about events in AX.
