How do you "Run" a class

You have several options.

1. Create a X++ job in the Jobs AOT node. Place code that invokes your class in the job body and press F5 to run.

2. Create a main method on your class with the following signature:

   static void main (Args _args) 
   { 
       // Your X++ code here. 
   }
   

   You can execute this method by pressing F5 when the class is open in the code editor. Be aware that this method gets invoked when a class is associated with a menu item, so not all production classes will need this method. Works great for testing though. See this for more detail: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa673265.aspx

If you wish to manually run the class you could also execute your class via the browser. For example in my sandbox environment:

https://yourUrl.sandbox.dynamics.com/?cmp=DAT&mi=SysClassRunner&cls=ClassNameHere

This would execute the class "ClassNameHere" manually.
