I've pushed version 1.2 of Sublogix to NuGet. There's some changes in how the custom entity templates are created by default. In previous versions of Sublogix, the custom entity templates used the display names for tables and fields in SalesLogix to create classes and properties. This caused several problems which this version addresses

The SalesLogix Group Explorer has become a widely used tool for tracking down issues with SalesLogix groups, allowing you to see the group definition, conditions, layout, and underlying SQL for any SalesLogix group. Best of all it's a free tool. This tool has been updated to work on 64-bit computers as well as all versions of SalesLogix from version 7.2 up to the most recent version 7.5.3.

Ever since Sage released their official SalesLogix community website & forums, I've wanted a better way to search and browse the forums. I've been working on a desktop client that does just this in a better, faster, and more efficient way. So, I'd like to announce the public release of Community Explorer.

The Account Hierarchy for SalesLogix Web module has a new home. I have moved the source to Github to make a public repository for the code and make it easier for others to get the latest source as I make changes to it. I released a public download of the Account Hierarchy module almost a year and a half ago for SalesLogix 7.2. Since that time it has had hundreds of downloads. I have make some tweaks over time and decided there needed to be a better way to share those tweaks. The Github repository will be the permanent location for this module going forward.

I added a new utility to the Customer FX Labs tonight, the SalesLogix Group Explorer. This utility allows you to dig deeper into the definition of SalesLogix groups than you ever thought possible. You can see the group's layout, included columns, conditions, sort order, and way more. Not only that, but you can also see the SQL query behind the group and view the data that makes up the group, all from outside of SalesLogix. The Group Explorer also gives you the ability to quickly export group data, exporting 100,000 records in a fraction of a second.

In my last post, I shared some code in VBScript to PING a remote server to check for availability before attempting to use a resource on that remote server. This wouldn't be my blog if I didn't also share this code in C# as well. IMO, this sort of thing is a far better suited for a .NET Extension if for the SalesLogix Windows client.

At times you might build a customization in the SalesLogix LAN client that relies on networked resources. For example, you might consume a web service or other resource that is available to LAN users and remote users via VPN. In this scenario, and many others like it, you have the potential to have remote users that do not currently have access to this networked resource. Even worse, you might have remote users that may not even be online at the time. A quick PING can check for availability.

Over the past several years I've maintained a SalesLogix related weblog at SalesLogixBlog.com. This blog has now moved to a new URL and a new perspective. SalesLogixBlog.com can now be located on the new Customer FX 3.0 website at http://customerfx.com/crmdeveloper.

The question of how to debug a .NET Extension has come up a few times in the SalesLogix Business Partner newsgroups as well as on the slxdeveloper.com forums. I've answered this a few times in those locations, so this might be a repeat of info for some, but I did think it was worthwhile to post again here as well.

This new version brings an exciting new ASP.NET based webclient and a ground-breaking, and completely incredible new development .NET environment - the Application Architect. I'll have plenty to say in the months ahead about this incredible new version of SalesLogix, for now, here's some of the important dates

The question about passing login details to the SalesLogix.exe coms up often and I can never seem to remember them. They are are a pain to find (not sure they are really documented anywhere), so I thought it was time to post them here.

Todd Hardin from CSI posted a useful SQL query for for listing all custom fields in your SalesLogix database. This query will produce a list of SalesLogix fields that you have customized. It will also tell you the MS-SQL datatype. Futhermore, it will tell you if you set the field to be Date vs DateTime in SalesLogix. This is based on the SECTABLEDEFS.USERDEF = 'T'.

I put together a new utility I'll be releasing in the near future on slxdeveloper.com called SalesLogix FormSpy. Have you ever needed to customize a form but you didn't know what the form's name was? That is what this utility will solve. FormSpy is a .NET app that runs in the background. While SalesLogix is open it draws an overlay on the top-right corner of all customizable forms. The overlay will show you that the form is customizable (it doesn't put the overlay on non-customizable forms) and

Service pack 5 for SalesLogix 6.2 is now availble. My guess is that this is the stability SP that will 6.2 will sit on as v7 marches on.

My copy of Stephen Redmond's excellent new edition of DevLogix arrived today (thanks again, Stephen!)

A very subtle, but useful change in the version 7 Architect is the addition of line numbers and visual indicators for bookmarks in the code editor window.

I came accross the following SQL statement posted by Timmus Agersea from Customer Systems, Inc in the SalesLogix Business Partner newsgroups to identify plugins for cleanup.

The next version of SalesLogix (v7) will include support for executing .NET 2.0 code in SalesLogix. You run code from .NET assemblies, load forms into SalesLogix, and just about anything else. This is an awesome addition to SalesLogix for the developer that wants to get outside the “Architect box”. Here's a short sample (I'll be posting a lot more of these, but I need to make sure I won't get in trouble with any non-disclosures and beta agreements)...

A great new addition to SalesLogix in version 6.2.3 is the new SalesLogix profiler tool. This is an awesome help to those developing, troubleshooting, or supporting SalesLogix customizations and addon applications.

I just thought I would post an announcement here that I've launched forums on slxdeveloper.com! They are a long time coming but I finally managed to squeak in enough time to finish them up.

Mike Boysen posted a while ago about using Global Functions to remove toolbar and menu items at runtime based on the currect user's security. A worth while post to read on using global functions (because it's not like you'll find that many other places that document how to use global functions).

I posted a while back (prematurely) about a new Outlook Addin for creating SalesLogix tickets from e-mail - cleverly named the “Outlook Ticket Addin” ;-) Well, it is finally released.
