Hi naresh

what type of explain you want?

i think i explained everything

when you set axapta preferred calendar to hijri , it converts all dates to hijri date

im searching for a class that is responsible for converting dates in axapta ( the class that converts these dates to hijri)

Hi harish

thanks for your care and answer

Hi Maziar,

Have you looked at CalendarConverter class? In particular have a look at methods such as ‘addMonths’, ‘addYears’ etc.

Hope this helps!

Hi Harish

thanks for your care but

as you can see i wrote about this class in my first post

i should repeat that this class is just responsible for calendar lookup , NOT DATE CONVERSION SYSTEM.
even when you change calendar lookup form to another calendar like jalali , when you choose a date in that calendar , it will write hijri date in your selected field

What about winapi?
do you think that it may use windows dll’s?
like microsoft access

Hi Maziar,

If you study the class, you will notice that it is using CLR Interop classes. Again I refer to another post in Amer’s blog here - http://blog.amer-ax.com/?p=378.
