The New Dynamics AX 2011 X++ Editor

New features have already been added to the next version of Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2011.

One of the very great features is the X++ Editor. I used to write X++ since Microsoft Axapta 3.0, there has been some slight changes between Axapta 3.0 to Dynamics AX 2009. But it looks that Microsoft is really doing the X++ editor looks somehow closely to the great editor of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

Some of the new features include:

1.  Ability to see lines in code
2. Improved IntelliSense features (all possibilities will appear once you type)
3. Great ability to select words in editor without selecting the line from the beginning
4. More colors
5. Ability to check Labels value without going to the Label Editor
6. .. and many more.

Check out this video You will enjoy it.

Dynamics AX 6.0 – X++ Editor

I have read a very interesting article talking about the new editor of X++ that will be shipped as part of the new version of Dynamics AX, 6.0.

The new editor looks more “fashionable” than the current one. You could specify font styles, colors, sizes… etc. Also types of words that you write in the editor are now more colorful. Integers, operators, and others are now recognized in different colors.

Mainly, these are the features of the new Dynamics AX editor:

• Support for multiple fonts and styles (comments are in a different font in italic)
• Differentiated coloring of strings and numbers
• Operators coloring
• Change tacking margin

Here are some pics for it
