  • Blog Post: Real F1 Online Help for Your Add-On?

    Luc van Vugt
    Each time I am involved in some way with a Dynamics NAV partner with respect to Help for their add-on, inevitably the issue of wanting to have their help on-line pops up. There are many things to be said about this which I am not going to address in this post, but who knows later. Here I am picking out...

    Now that MS is enforcing CfMD on partners more and more, we all are faced with the requirement to build a help system, that goes with your add-on, more and more. Hence many of you have been working on creating a HTML help project (or even multiple) as described and supported by the Microsoft Dynamics...

    Recently I had to make sure that captions for both ENU and NLD were present throughout our solution. A job I have being doing many times over the past years and wrote some post about (you will find some here ). One of the last tasks in this process deals with resetting object properties after importing...

  • Blog Post: CODEUNIT.RUN - Conclusion

    Luc van Vugt
    Contrary to the other run-able CSIDE objects - i.e. Page, Report and XMLport - we can run a Codeunit and catch the result from this execution: TRUE or FALSE Syntax : [Ok :=] Codeunit.RUN(Number[, Record]) So if we call CODEUNIT.RUN and request a return value, as illustrated by the...

    One of those multiple choice questions I pose to my students at the start of each day during a Solution Development training. What would be the right answer? Of course you're free to test it in NAV, but first give it a try "from the bare head". Given: Codeunit 50000: OnRun() ERROR...

    Luc van Vugt
    On the first day of the Solution Development training I conducted last week, we discussed one of my favorite topics: posting routines. As with many in the past I armed my course students with highlighter pens in 5 different colors and let them attack the print outs of codeunits 211, 212 and 213. To structure...

    Have you seen this one yet? I think it's a great idea to start writing about the various message you can come across in NAV. Must admit: I am jealous I did not think of that myself. For sure there are many obvious messages, but indeed there is also a multitude of them because of which various user...

    I guess it's almost needless to introduce the guy himself being the architect of IDYN's Object Manager (OMA), but I thought maybe it's a worthwhile, in case you have missed it, to point out that he has started to blog on How to OMA! . As Reijer states himself: It happens too much that...
