Creating Units: Development Environment

A unit is a non-visual compilation entity that is used to store application code. Various units can be used to functionally divide code stored in them.

To create a new unit:

In the web application:
- From the object navigator. Select the Create > Unit item in the object navigator's main menu.
- From development environment:

When a unit is created in the development environment, the Create New Unit dialog box opens:

Specify name and unique identifier of the created unit in corresponding boxes.

In the desktop application. Select one of the following items:

New Object > Development Environment > Unit item on the Home ribbon tab in the object navigator.
Create > Development Environment > Unit context menu item of the object navigator.
File > Create > Unit main menu item of development environment.
Create > Unit context menu item in the project navigator of development environment.

The unit can contain an entry point that will be executed on starting unit or assembly from development environment or on selection as autostart object. After the unit is created, fill it with code.

To close the current unit, select the File > Close main menu item. One can also press CTRL+ALT+W in the web application.
