AOTTableFieldList.addString(String) Method

Definition

Adds a new field of the string type to the list of fields for the current table.

public:
 virtual void addString(System::String ^ _name);
[Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessPlatform.SharedTypes.InternalUseOnly]
public virtual void addString (string _name);
[<Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessPlatform.SharedTypes.InternalUseOnly>]
abstract member addString : string -> unit
override this.addString : string -> unit
Public Overridable Sub addString (_name As String)

Parameters

_name
String

The name of the field to add.

Attributes
Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessPlatform.SharedTypes.InternalUseOnlyAttribute

Remarks

If the supplied name coincides with an existing field in the field list, an integer is appended to the name of the new field to make the field name unique. It is up to the developer to make sure that the name is not a reserved word; the method will not throw an error if a reserved word is specified. You can use the AOTfindChild method to determine whether a field name is already being used.

The following example adds the NewString field, which is of the string type, to the list of fields for the TutorialJournalName table.

{ 
    AOTTableFieldList tfl = infolog.findNode( 
        '\\Data Dictionary\\Tables\\TutorialJournalName\\Fields'); 
    if (!tfl.AOTFindChild('NewString')) 
    { 
        tfl.addString('NewString'); 
    } 
}
