Can we no longer see Base Application code in Visual Studio

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Consultants Collective 32

As of Business Central version 19.1.31886 (or perhaps slightly earlier) you can no longer see the Base Application Code in Visual Studio???

Up until this version you could always see the 'Definition' ("Code") of objects (Tables, Pages, Codeunits etc.) within visual Studio. Now it appears Microsoft have set the ShowMyCode property to false?!

I can still access the code of earlier versions, am wondering if this is a temporary glitch in this particular version.

    And press F12 on the variable to open the source file as well.

    So I think it’s a problem with following extension. We can try again after it is updated.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.

    It's worth mentioning Stefan Maron's work on this GitHub repo that allows us to see the base code as well as see changes to the base from version to version: https://github.com/StefanMaron/MSDyn365BC.Code.History/branches

    Thanks Stefan!

    Hi,

    do you think we will ever have the option to see the standard code while debugging, again? I still am missing the option to see the standard code while debugging my extenstions on BC SaaS.

    Thanks Damjan

    Hi,

    Were you able to solve this ? I am facing similar problem with business central 19.5 OnPrem Version.

    Thanks.
