Ugh.... what a tease! LOL



Add-in installed and fires up nicely. Select the tables I want BOs for then click Generate Business Objects, hear a bong and see a Wait Window flash in upper right (too fast to even see text) and get the problem asking if I want to run the BOM. Looking at the solution and the BOM none of the business objects were built.



Any ideas?



Thanks.

Awesome... Was just discussing yesterday how semi-tedious it can be to build multiple business objects, and how an add-in could save the day. Wish I had seen this posting about eight business objects ago!! LOL



Thanks a bunch!

Hi Paul,

Thanks a lot for this contribution, this is a major tool specially for new SF developers.

Trent, have you look at this yet?  I see a lot of benefits in adding this kind of automation to SF.

I will have to take a look, Paul.  Thanks for the contribution!

I wrote this add-in to save myself some time while working on a project I am doing that has lots of lookup tables and views. It took me a bit longer that I thought but it was interesting.I think it's a useful utility and add-in example to share with all of you. Hope it helps

I put this together LATE last night and finshed tonight so beware there might be a mosquito just waiting to sting.

I added a few screenshots, a zip with the source andv a zip containing the addin and the .dll you can just unzip to your C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Addins or wherever you addins directory is.

Gotta go Enjoy

Paul

Currently to set up a bo

1.Add each business object(s)  to VisualStudio--- for 10 Bo's do this step 10 times

2.Launch the business object mapper

3.Configure the project

4.Configure the each Business Object--- for 10 Bo's do this step 10 times

5. Build the partial class(s). You would select the table and views you wich to create 

With Add In

1. Launch BoGenerator

2.Configure project (Same as step 3 above)

3.Select multiple Table(s) and View(s) from list.

4.Generate Business Object --- for 10 bo's it add's all 10 bo's to project and also configures the business object

5.Auto Launches the bo mapper then Build Partial Classes (Same as step 5)
