Dynamics 365 for Operations (AX 7) tries to get rid of the ugly concept of “customizations”, when developers directly change somebody else’s code, which has a plenty of negative consequences. Most importantly, installing a new version isn’t easy, because it requires dealing with conflicts in code. There are several ways how to make a class …

My next blog post will cover a few topics regarding generics in AX 7 and because many X++ developers aren’t familiar with this concept (as it’s not used in X++ directly), I thought it would be to explain what it is. Imagine that you’re designing a collection class (such as a list) in a statically-typed …
