I’m just done with the keynote, and have been writing down quite some notes – so I figured, why not turn this into a blogpost ;-). One with a very clear disclaimer: all the below, is how I percieved it, and might deviate from whatever Microsoft was trying to make clear to us. I repeat …

I’m on my way to Orlando as I write this post. For quite some time, Irma – and apparently a local storm today in Belgium – made it very unsure if there was going to be a “Directions US” this year for me. I’m very much looking forward meeting all the nice people again over …

Yesterday, we got a new Development Preview from Microsoft. You can read the announcement on their blog. This time, a lot has changed on how the image is constructed – basically meaning that my blogs on how to get your development environment on your local system are totally outdated ;-). I will see on getting …

Just to set the right expectations – this blog is intended for Extensions Version 1. In other words, extensions that are: developed completely in the well known classic C/SIDE development environment (C/AL). created, installed and published with PowerShell NOT created in VSCode The “old” (in these times still “current”) stuff sort of speak ;-). Why …

When you start doing AL development in VSCode, you inevitably will want to convert from the very old and dusty C/AL language, to the brand new shining innovative AL language :-). How that is being done, is described in multiple places. Let me just reference to this post on my blog to get you going …

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

July 6, 2017

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:

PowerShell

$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)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

$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)

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 …
