Three ways to use extension data in C/Side | Mark Brummel Blog
So, I get it now. We need to develop in extensions. Nothing but extensions. We need to tell our employers to forget about new requirements for half a year and ignore bugs while we developers lock ourselves in the basement and rework our existing code to an extension. Right? Well, locking developers in a basement will probably appeal to a fair number of managers. Not developing new… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s Article...
Converting an ISV solution to an extension: Update 1 | Mark Brummel Blog
Well, what can I say……….this is going to take a while. ? If you have no idea what I am talking about, start here. After getting the objects converted to AL (using the standard process documented here), I was immediately greeted in VS Code by just over 8000 errors/warnings. Great start. Luckily half of those were generated by the code analyzers. If you don’t know what they are,… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s Article on...
Converting an ISV solution to an extension: The Beginning | Mark Brummel Blog
I’ve been a bit neglectful of this blog for the past couple of months, but with good reason. I’ve been jumping around multiple projects, and have now landed on a project that will involve taking a roughly 3000 object ISV solution and converting it to an extension. Easy task? Far from it.Challenging? Most definitely……but that’s why we do what we do right!?Will I be able to convert… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s Article on...
Record Zoom Extension | Mark Brummel Blog
I think we all like the Zooming in the classic client and the Help/ About This Page in the Role Tailored client. This extension I created can be easily added to any page that displays records from the database and it will show all fields included in the source table. The source code is available on Github.

The FOB is planning its retirement | Mark Brummel Blog
In software we’ve invented all kinds of terminology to make it sound as if removing a feature is great. Terms like sunsetting and retirement give you a great feeling. Who does not love to see the sun go down with a beer and a loved one. In reality it means that software that once was is no longer and we’ve had plenty of that in our beloved Navision product, now referred to as Business… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s...
Extending Role Centers | Mark Brummel Blog
Today I wanted to extend a Role Center with a Page Extension and I noticed Microsoft has updated terminology. To add a list to the Home Items you must use Embedding. Other changes: Related Information = Navigation New = Creation. The Result in the Windows Client is the normal behavior with grouping the Cue from the Activities which in this case was also created using a Table Extension… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s...
Move Bespoke Symbols to Production | Mark Brummel Blog
Today I had a small talk with my brother about generating custom symbols from C/Side and how to manage that. Here is how I did it. At the company I work for we have a DTAP environment and we (normally) only code in Development. Fobs and Extensions are moved from Development to Test, Acceptance and Production. The quesion is how to control your symbols and move them together with each… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s...
Performance Measuring of Large Reports | Mark Brummel Blog
In the ForNAV standard report pack we have a few reports that are traditionally slow when running. One of my design goals when developing these reports was to see if I can increase performance. The names of the challenged reports will sound familiar to those in our channel for a longer time. Aged Accounts Receivables & Payables Inventory to G/L Reconcile The latter only exists in the North… Continue Reading Mark...
On-Premise Extensions & Customer Licenses | Mark Brummel Blog
On my task list for one of my customers was a nicely isolated module that I could make into an extension. I’m a huge fan of making many small extensions rather than trying to put all of one customers modifications in one project. In this case it is a side-by-side project with C/Side so I have created my own app file for the packages. I’ll see if I can blog somewhat about that… Continue Reading Mark Brummel’s Article on...
