Conversion components

Components include services, folders and other model building blocks associated with a module. You may drag them to a property or wire sheet from a palette. In most cases, a conversion object takes an input value and makes it available in the object’s output as a different type of data. Prior to AX-3.6, they typically served to link different data types. This functionality is now standard, which means that for most applications you do not need a conversion component. Instead, the framework automatically converts data type between linked components.

The descriptions included in the following topics appear as headings in documentation. They also appear as context-sensitive help topics when accessed by:
  • Right-clicking on the object and selecting Views > Guide Help

  • Clicking Help > Guide On Target
