I didn’t realize something .. but since April this year, I have been blogging for a full 10 years. Not THE most important topic ever created – definitly not when Microsoft announces big new things like Microsoft 365 and such – but hey, it’s holiday-season ;-). I still remember why I started blogging: I just …

Create an offline Development Preview – enable the in-client visual designer

You might remember this post: http://www.waldo.be/2017/02/20/make-the-new-developer-tools-available-on-a-local-machine/ Well, back in those days, I might have forgotten a few bits ;-). Namely to enable the in-client visual designer. Well, there is not much to it – you can simply edit the web.config-file, and add the designer-attribute in it.. . With PowerShell, you can do it with:

$NAVWebConfigFile = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Navision_main\Web.config"
$NAVWebConfig = [xml](Get-Content $NAVWebConfigFile)
$designerKey = $NAVWebConfig.SelectSingleNode("//configuration/DynamicsNAVSettings/add[@key='designer']")
if ($designerkey) {
    $designerkey.value = "true"
} else {
    $addelm = $NAVWebConfig.CreateElement("add")
    $keyatt = $NAVWebConfig.CreateAttribute("key")
    $keyatt.Value = "designer"
    $addelm.Attributes.Append($keyatt) | Out-Null
    $valatt = $NAVWebConfig.CreateAttribute("value")
    $valatt.Value = "true"
    $addelm.Attributes.Append($valatt) | Out-Null
    $NAVWebConfig.configuration.DynamicsNAVSettings.AppendChild($addelm) | Out-Null
}
$NAVWebConfig.Save($NAVWebConfigFile)

$NAVWebConfigFile = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Navision_main\Web.config"

$NAVWebConfig = [xml](Get-Content $NAVWebConfigFile)

$designerKey = $NAVWebConfig.SelectSingleNode("//configuration/DynamicsNAVSettings/add[@key='designer']")

if ($designerkey) {

$designerkey.value = "true"

} else {

$addelm = $NAVWebConfig.CreateElement("add")

$keyatt = $NAVWebConfig.CreateAttribute("key")

$keyatt.Value = "designer"

$addelm.Attributes.Append($keyatt) | Out-Null

$valatt = $NAVWebConfig.CreateAttribute("value")

$valatt.Value = "true"

$addelm.Attributes.Append($valatt) | Out-Null

$NAVWebConfig.configuration.DynamicsNAVSettings.AppendChild($addelm) | Out-Null

}

$NAVWebConfig.Save($NAVWebConfigFile)

NAV Developer Preview – Fix Script

When you want to experience the new developer tools, you need to set up a VM on Azure. Now, this takes a while. On top of that, it’s all “preview”. As in: “might crash”. And in: “if it crashes, there might not be a decent way out”. I was able to completely mess up my …

I seem to remember that I have told you that I have created some modules in PowerShell to make my (and your) life easier in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.. ;-). Well – it seems that these modules are getting some traction. They are available on Github, and the PowerShell Gallery – and people seem to be …

When you’re a NAV developer, you’re not really spoiled with developer tools. So these are exciting times .. and I think I can speak for many developers when claiming I’m very much looking forward to the upcoming developer tools. Basically because it brings us VSCode .. and VSCode brings us a grown up development experience. …

Enable GIT on your NAV Developer Preview

When doing sessions about VSCode – one of the main advantages people always talk about (in comparison with our classic C/AL development environment (aka C/SIDE)), is “GIT Integration”. Or “Source Control Management right out-of-the-box”. I would even say that it’s difficult to work with VSCode without actually controlling your software. Out-of-the-box GIT Support VS Code …

Recently, I came across a customer, where a partner had implemented some Stored Procedures on a Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017 database. Now, for any change on SQL level that comes to my ears, my first reaction is always “Nooooooooo“. Or as a pictures tells more than a thousand words: First thing I did was googling …
