AX 2012 Method -Accessor method

AX 2012 Method -Accessor method

For developers who are new to AX, and especially those coming from other products, the Accessor method, a type of AX 2012 Method,

may be a little confusing at first. You may be used to seeing the Get/Set keywords used like this…

{

    private string _mystring;

    public string mystring

    {

             get { return _mystring; }

             set {_mystring = somevalue;}

    }

}

AX 2012 Method 

In an AX 2012 Method, the same logic would be expressed in this way…

{

    str myString;

    publicstr myString(str _myString = myString)

    {

             myString = _myString;

             return myString;

    }

}

Get and Set happen here in the same method.

If the method is called with parameter_myString having a value, then the class variable (myString) is set to this value…

myString = _myString;

If the method is called without a parameter, the parameter defaults to the class variable…

(str _myString = myString)
