Hi

I installed Bc on Docker, then linked my Visual Studio to it. All is well. But my question is how I can see BC Base AL Source Code in Visual Studio just for training purposes? 

I read this article https://www.waldo.be/2019/03/01/business-central-as-an-app-getting-to-the-al-source-code/ but I have seen some video that user has the source code like a table in their Visual Studio. I could be wrong here but I thought to ask.

For example in their VS they can see each code unit or page etc. Then click on it and see the source code

    This is worth checking out too: github.com/.../msdyn365bc.Code.History

    Thanks to Waldo for sharing this at DynamicsCon and Stefan Maron for keeping this repo up to date.

    Hi, If you are talking about the following, you need to install an Extension in VS Code, AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline.

    In addition, you can directly install the following pack, you can get a lot of useful tools.
