While the function works for the GUI client, you get this exception in Enterpriseportal:
Dynamics Object Adapter Call failed.
Funktion 'GetLocaleInfoW' in DLL-Bibliothek 'KERNEL32' hat eine Ausnahmebedingung ausgelöst.
Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessConnectorNet.XppException
at Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessConnectorNet.AxaptaObject.Call(String methodName, Object[] paramList)
at Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.BusinessConnector.Session.DynamicsObjectAdapter.Call(String methodName, Object param1)
The impact for the user was, that he just get a plain lookup popup window instead a calendar popup to select a date for a data field. *
I was unable to find the excact reason for that bug. But I assume it's the combination of x64 architecture, the .NET Business Connector and the use of a Unicode Windows Kernel function.
To bypass the error we've modified the method Global::firstWeekOfYear(), which was the caller to WinAPI::getLocaleInfo(), as follow:
Original:
static int firstWeekOfYear()
{
#WinAPI
return str2int(WinAPI::getLocaleInfo(#LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, #LOCALE_FIRSTWEEKOFYEAR));
}
Modified:static int firstWeekOfYear()
{
/* #WinAPI
return str2int(WinAPI::getLocaleInfo(#LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, #LOCALE_FIRSTWEEKOFYEAR));
*/
System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo info = System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo::get_CurrentInfo();
System.Globalization.CalendarWeekRule rule = info.get_CalendarWeekRule();
;
return(CLRInterop::getAnyTypeForObject(rule));
}
With this modification the Windows function GetLocaleInfoW in Kernel32 will not be direct used.
