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.

Hi, I tried it, same error.

But unzip is still available.

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
