Make axapta x++ report at runtime

Hi, everybody!


Today, I want to share you an easy way to make a Dynamics AX report at runtime. 


With that, we can to create and modify our reports dynamically, and adjust its properties at runtime.


Code is as follows:

static void MakeReportAtRuntime(Args _args)

{

    #AOT

    str                     reportName  = 'MakeReport';

    tableid                 custTableId = tablenum(CustTable);

    TreeNode                reportNode  = TreeNode::findNode(#ReportsPath);

    Report                  areport;

    ReportDesign            design;

    ReportAutoDesignSpecs   specs;

    ReportSection           section;

    ReportRun               run;

    ;

    //Delete the report if it already exists

    areport = reportNode.AOTfindChild(reportName);

    if (areport)

        areport.AOTdelete();

    //Build the report

    areport = reportNode.AOTadd(reportName);

    areport.query().addDataSource(custTableId);

    design  = areport.addDesign('Design');

    specs   = design.autoDesignSpecs();

    section = specs.addSection(ReportBlockType::Body, custTableId);

    section.addControl(custTableId, fieldnum(CustTable, AccountNum));

    section.addControl(custTableId, fieldnum(CustTable, Name));

    //Now the report will not prompt for user input

    areport.interactive(false);

    areport.query().interactive(false);

    areport.AOTcompile();

    //Run the report

    run = ClassFactory.reportRunClass(new Args(reportName));

    run.init();

    run.run();

}
