Support for .NET interop in Code Unit using .NET Framework 4.7.1

Hi,

We have a library that we're trying to use as an Addin with Navision 2013 (NOT R2). Our library is compiled and targeted towards the .NET framework version 4.7.1. It also uses Log4Net to write to the event log and create log files.

It seems like other libraries we used that were compiled in 4.7.1 worked. However, I want to confirm this is supported.

Additionally, although the object seems to run......nothing wrote to the event log...and our log file was not created. This should have thrown an error within Navision....but there doesn't seem to be anything reported.....

Is there some place where Navision actually logs error information generated by code unit assemblies?

Also....does anyone know what EXE the codeunits actually run under (their context)?

kind regards,

Marty

DotNet variables are supported.

Regarding the context: a DotNet variable (.NET dll) can runder on client or on server (you specify this when you declare the DotNet variable in NAV). If it's RunOnClient = true it runs on the client machine and must be placed in the addin subfolder of the RTC client. Otherwise it runs on the server side and must be placed in the addin subfolder of the service tier. Regarding the log: if it fails and you don't catch the exception inside the DLL, you should have an error logged in event viewer (server or client).
