Microsoft Dynamics NAV Source Code Analysis – Triggers & Procedures

On my last blogpost on Source Code Analysis (which focused on the LineCount), I got the remark whether it would be interesting to drill into “statements”.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Source Code Analysis – LineCount

Recently, I came across this nice graph: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/million-lines-of-code/ . Pretty cool to see the comparison. But – obviously – the next question for us Microsoft Dynamics NAV developers is: How many lines of code does Microsoft Dynamics NAV contain? Good question .. and an interesting one.

Manage Web Services in Extensions

How to find Cumulative Updates for Microsoft Dynamics NAV?

You might have noticed, I stopped updating the platform updates. I hope you don’t mind ;-). It just didn’t make any sense anymore when Microsoft moved it to a different location.. . The main reason why I was providing that on my blog, was the “googleability” of the content the updates. All was published on …

NAVTechDays 2016: Final thoughts

It’s been a while since NAV TechDays. And for a while I was thinking to skip the blogpost on how the latest NAV TechDays has been.. . But then again – the convention is without doubt the best one around for NAV developers, while it’s still “just” a private initiative from Luc – so it …

Since Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017, the VM images that Microsoft (Freddy) makes available on Azure, contains the PowerShellGet module.

Automate downloads of Microsoft Dynamics NAV Cumulative Updates

Yesterday, I blogged about the availability of the first Cumulative Update of NAV 2017. In that post, I talked about the fact that Microsoft recently changed the place where to download them.
