  • Blog Post: How Do I… Videos on MSDN

    MSDN has started running a series of the How do I… videos for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 (feed here). The idea is to showcase a technical feature in 5-15 minutes. The project is still ongoing, but a number of videos have just been released and announced on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Team Blog. The project...
  • Blog Post: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta Available!

    I don’t know about you, but I think today is a great day: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 Beta has been published on PartnerSource, and if you have access, you can download it from here . I’ve been playing around with CTPs for more quite a while, and even though I can’t share any specifics, I can assure...
  • Blog Post: The Beauty and The Beast: NAV and .NET

    If there wasn’t one already, someone should have invented Belgium. There are two things in this world that I love, and probably shouldn’t (and an oversized red speaker’s shirt I got from Luc today did a darned god job at concealing the unlucky consequences of overly indulging in both of them): beer and...

It’s again delivered from the comfort of your desktop, and you can attend all the presentations and mingle the expo booths in your pajamas and slippers, and nobody would...
  • Blog Post: Are we “all in”?

    “Are we all in” – asks Hunter Richards on The Software Advice blog in his Monday post , giving a view of Microsoft’s Cloud strategy in perspective of Microsoft Dynamics. He argues that while Microsoft is indeed betting heavily on the Cloud, its Dynamics line of products is not nearly ready for the Cloud...
  • Blog Post: Was it necessary to kill the Classic client?

    Absolutely. The world needs to move ahead. The technology advances. Who doesn’t want to keep up with the progress, stays behind. That’s how it has worked since the dawn of civilization. I can’t know the exact reasons why Microsoft has decided to stop support for the Classic client with NAV “7”, but I...
  • Blog Post: Death of Classic (C/SIDE) Client

    Yesterday, during a coffee break at the What’s New in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Technical for Application Consultants training in Vilnius, Lithuania (a fabulous place, by the way), a discussion arose around the destiny of the Classic (or C/SIDE) client in NAV. Some participants stated that “it’s never...
  • Blog Post: Keyboard shortcomings of RoleTailored Client in NAV 2009

    I am one of those people who only use keyboard with NAV. Classic, of course. Seriously, I can keyboard my way through NAV and do literally everything—and I am dead serious about the everything part of it—with only my keyboard. With Classic, mouse is quietly resting under piles of papers. In RTC, mouse...
  • Blog Post: Two more Microsoft Dynamics NAV books

    As reported by Marq , two more Microsoft Dynamics NAV books have been published by PACKT this week: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 Programming Cookbook by Matt Traxinger and Microsoft Dynamics NAV Administration by Amit Sachdev and Sharan Oberoi.

  • Blog Post: Error With Exposing Currencies As Web Services

    If you try exposing Page 5 Currencies as a Web service in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, and then consuming this web service through a .NET application, you are almost guaranteed to encounter some unhelpful and generic XML errors that give you absolutely no clue about what exactly, where and why, went...
  • Blog Post: When Should You Purchase The NAV License?

    Microsoft Partners often postpone the actual purchase of the customer’s NAV license until the project is fairly close to go-live. In the meanwhile, they do the development and the testing on-site (or off-site) using their own partner license. I’ve heard arguments (or better: excuses) to engage in this...
  • Blog Post: Learn About Web Services at WinDays 10

    WinDays is here again. Year over year, it’s hard to come to terms with the time and how quickly it’s passing by. (Or is it just me getting old, and preferring to ignore that fact?) Anyway, this year is the tenth anniversary of the first WinDays, and the only one I ever attended as a tourist. This year...
  • Blog Post: Van Vugt’s dynamiXs

    A year ago I used to run a monthly roundup of NAV blogs and give you a short gist of who said what. Then I got lazy and stopped blogging on the weekly basis, and boy what a mistake I did – because some nice new blogs appeared in the meantime. I am somewhat ashamed that I learned about this blog only...
  • Blog Post: Parallel or serial?

    Long time no see, eh? I know I’ve promised to write about a lot of stuff here, and I see this queue of you hardly waiting to read my next topic on process manufacturing, but I am just far too lazy to think it out thoroughly. So, an easier one, but still about manufacturing. I spent this week delivering...

  • Blog Post: My new career path – independent consultant

    It’s official now, and it’s time I announce it here: after two years at Microsoft I’ve decided to take the helm of my career and venture into the realm of independent consulting. Two days into it, and all I can say about it is: what have I been waiting for this long? While at Microsoft, I had a chance...
  • Blog Post: Discreet and process manufacturing difference

    When implementing NAV in manufacturing companies, I’ve sometimes heard complaints that the type of manufacturing supported in NAV doesn’t fit the customer needs. And sometimes that’s completely true. NAV supports discreet manufacturing, and it handles it pretty well. But the things do get bumpy when...
  • Blog Post: WinDays9: see you in Opatija next week!

    Often you don’t even notice how quickly time goes by, except for a few milestones, which happen once a year and remind you that another one’s over. WinDays conference is one of such milestones, and I’ve barely published a handful of posts here since the last time it was the most discussed topic in...
  • Blog Post: Windows 7 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

    “ Eat your own dog food ” —they say around here. If it was always this yummy, I’d do it every day. Yesterday, I’ve got my laptop upgraded to Windows 7 Beta. I’ve loved betas ever since I became a geek. Once a geek, always a geek, and although nowadays I primarily do consulting or project management...

Published in December 2008, this set of help files and guidelines contains valuable information for developers and IT professionals...
  • Blog Post: Tip: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 code page validation

    This is bazillionth time that I’ve encountered this issue, so I’ve decided to post a solution to it. If you live in a country which doesn’t have Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 localized version yet, you might have tried installing the W1 (worldwide, English, non-localized) version. Did it work out? If...
  • Blog Post: Liquidity, Cost Accounting and Kitting

    It’s hardly any news for the lucky 21 countries which have had them by default for about two years, but for other 18 which haven’t, there is an alarmingly low awareness about three interesting NAV functionalities: Liquidity , Cost Accounting and Kitting . These three have been named Local Functionality...
  • Blog Post: Natural selection: death of dataports

    It’s the survival of the fittest game, that stuff that happened to the dataports. You know dataports? That class of NAV objects that’s used to move data back and forth in text format? It’s really funny what has been going on with them lately. They evolved, then degenerated. Today, they are an endangered...
