I've released an updated version of Sublogix, version 1.4.5, which now will properly handle unicode nvarchar type columns when working with Infor CRM SalesLogix 8.4 and higher. If you're using a previous version of Sublogix, all should still work correctly, except the T4 templates will not properly include text column lengths in the generated C# classes. This new version...

Some entities in SalesLogix, such as Tickets, use a "pretty key" as an easier to use value to reference the record. These pretty keys take a SalesLogix table ID value and then create a value like 000-00-1234. If you are creating an external application with this functionality, you'll need to be able to create these pretty keys there as well.

If you've followed my posts on Sublogix, or even better, given Sublogix a spin, you'll know that if you're doing SalesLogix development Sublogix can save you a ton of time and give you a much easier to use data access and entity model. This post will show you how to extend the Sublogix entities to give you even easier access and save even more time.

If you're working in the SalesLogix Windows (LAN) client, why not make as most use as possible of a modern development environment, language, and tools? The SalesLogix .NET Extensions feature in the SalesLogix Windows client is one of the best, and likely least used, features in the SalesLogix Windows client development story. A choice bewteen using an out-dated development environment and VBScript, with no possibility of using source control or a true multi-developer experience verses using Visual Studio, with source control, a modern language and framework where the sky is the limit? I'll take the latter any day. Still not convinced? The .NET Extensions Helper library comes to the rescue. This new open source project from Customer FX will make embedding .NET controls in SalesLogix a breeze.

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

Sublogix, the simple repository and entity model for SalesLogix, is now available via the NuPack package management system! You can now easily get Sublogix to use in your own custom SalesLogix projects. Best of all, you can get it easier than ever using the NuPack package management system.

A few weeks ago I announced Sublogix. Sublogix is Customer FX project that provides a simple repository for SalesLogix development, allowing you to use an entity model and repository in any version of SalesLogix and is great for use in .NET Extensions in the LAN client, stand-alone or addon applications for SalesLogix or whatever. Death to SQL statements. Things are progressing nicely with Sublogix so I decided it was time to give you a closer look.

Something that was born out of a project I've been working on is a simple repository for SalesLogix that supports all the way back to SalesLogix v6.2 up to the current 7.5.3, both LAN and Web as well as stand alone applications and utilities. I've named it Sublogix. Sublogix is a simple object model and repository for SalesLogix. Sublogix is not meant to replace the SalesLogix Repository that lives in SalesLogix Web. It's purpose is to give you the ability to work with SalesLogix entity objects no matter what environment you're in.
