Sage.Platform.Application.UI.Web.ApplicationPage s = this.Page as Sage.Platform.Application.UI.Web.ApplicationPage; &nbs...
In the SalesLogix web client, users can set filters when looking at groups. These filters further restrict the results in the group. The filter options are stored for the user in the database VFS table so that the next time the group is opened, the filters remain active. The only problem with this approach is it is easy to forget that a filter has been applied to a group and therefor questions arise as to why records can't be seen. I am go...

In the SalesLogix web client it may be necessary to perform some kind of server side code, like data validation, and then based upon what is returned perform some kind of client side action like a confirmation dialog, or opening a new browser window. The nature of ASP.Net web sites is that client side actions run before server side actions so how can we accomplish performing server validations before running client side code? Well lets take a...
