I just joined the hype train and started to record AL learning videos! Yes, I know what you might think now. “Again? There are already enough people doing the same videos over and over again!” But I have something different in mind. In this series of videos I want to share and show how IContinue reading “Video series: How do I?”

MSDyn365BC.Code.History
Did you ever wonder what was changed in a cumulative update in Business Central? Sure, you can read the update notes from Microsoft and read the list of bug fixes they made. But I mean like, really know what was changed. Like, which line was changed on the customer table from between 2 versions?
Business Central and Multiline Fields
I may introduce you to the “Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.WebPageViewer”. This is an awesome small controladdin shipped by microsoft. You can not only embed webpages in Buisness Central but you can also pass your own html!
Condition basics in AL
Recently I posted a “Did you know that …” post on Twitter showing an alternative way to write an if-condition. Today I thought: Hey, I might have some more examples for different ways to write conditions and here we are 😉 First start with the most simple if statement there is: It just checks ifContinue reading “Condition basics in AL”
Coding4Performance 5: FindSet vs FindFirst
Today in coding for performance, we talk a bit about FindSet and FindFirst. I actually had plans to make this one the first post in this series. But it turned out that the differences between this two commands are not as obvious as I first thought. Let me first place a huge disclaimer here: EverythingContinue reading “Coding4Performance 5: FindSet vs FindFirst”
Coding4Performance 4: Task Scheduler
In my last post about Start Session I explained how you can easily run a Codeunit in background and relieve the user session. The downside on this method is, that your background task still runs on the same server instance like the user session does. If you have only a few users and only oneContinue reading “Coding4Performance 4: Task Scheduler”
Coding4Performance 3: Start Session
As promised, here the first (and easiest) way to run code in background. This blog will be a bit shorter, as Start session is quite straight forward. Note: If you did not read the previous blog about Background tasks in general, maybe you should start there 😉 I created an example scenario for which aContinue reading “Coding4Performance 3: Start Session”
Coding4Performance 2: Asynchronous development and background tasks
In this post I will explain the general concept of asynchronous development and background tasks. So everyone knows how procedural development works. In Business Central it starts with a user which logs in to the web client and starts a user session. The first page which opens is most likely the role center page. BehindContinue reading “Coding4Performance 2: Asynchronous development and background tasks”
Coding4Performance 1: Text Builder
As NAV and Business Central evolves user tasks become more complex and BC becomes more powerful to solve this tasks. But this happens often with cost in performance. Even Microsoft published a (very good) article about how to improve performance in BC. I do mainly concentrate on the developer aspect of this article and inContinue reading “Coding4Performance 1: Text Builder”
How to: Fix problems with Docker DNS resolution
Recently I discovered that my BC instance within a Docker container somehow can not access the internet. After some time I figured that the problem was the DNS resolution and I thought I might share two possible ways to resolve this problem with you! How to check if you have the same problem You canContinue reading “How to: Fix problems with Docker DNS resolution”
