Send Dynamics NAV RTC reports and documents as PDF

By SNielsen Basic C/AL, Dynamics NAV, RTC 3 Comments »

Thanks to Microsoft Reporting Services PDF Rendering Extension, all RTC reports can be exported to PDF. At least that is benefit coming back to us, while struggling with the report creations (read post from Alex Chow: How to define Set/GetData).

In order to get the PDF, that gets generated on the service tier, available on the client tier, we need to copy the file from the server to the client tier. The Dynamics NAV team blog have posted a couple interesting articles about how to move files between the tiers. In this article we will put it all together in an easy to understand example that will give you emailing capabilities with PDF attachments.

What is in your Dynamics NAV toolbelt? Barcode Creator by Stijn Bossuyt

By SNielsen Basic C/AL, Dynamics NAV, Toolbelt 4 Comments »

Stijn Bossuyt has made a great function/codeunit for generating barcodes within Dynamics NAV without the need for any third party add-ons. You can find more information about it on this MIBUSO blog.

Barcode as defined on Wikipedia: “A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data, which shows certain data on certain products. Originally, barcodes represented data in the widths (lines) and the spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or 1D (1 dimensional) barcodes or symbologies. They also come in patterns of squares, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns within images termed 2D (2 dimensional) matrix codes or symbologies. Although 2D systems use symbols other than bars, they are generally referred to as barcodes as well. Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers, or scanned from an image by special software.”

Lets go over a quick guide on how to use it.

Replacing CRONUS logo with CompanyInformation Picture in Stylesheets

By SNielsen Dynamics NAV, RTC 8 Comments »

This post is a follow up to some of my previous posts about the Send to Word/Excel features of Dynamics NAV. As you know, it uses a stylesheet (xslt file), that is being read into memory and the codeunit 403 inserts values into the document.

This is definitely one of the cool demo features, when presenting NAV. At this point you dont realize that the Cronus logo is hardcoded into the stylesheets, but think it is just using the logo in the Company Information setup.

My previous post gave you some steps on how to change this. But this can be pretty cumbersome to say it at least. So when having to do it for the I dont know what time again, i decided to create a function that could automatically insert the picture from the Company Information.

Dynamics Community Syndication of Got C/AL?

By SNielsen Dynamics NAV, Site news No Comments »

Last week Got C/AL? got syndicated on the Microsoft Dynamics Community site, under the NAV section. You can find the site here: https://community.dynamics.com/product/nav/default.aspx.

For the new readers i will give you a quick introduction to the site here, in addition to what you already can find on the site. The site was originally founded back in March of 2008, but did not really stretch it legs until May 2010 where i finally gave into the WordPress platform.

The site focuses on Dynamics NAV development. Currently its main content is for the Classic client environment, but here with the upcoming release of Dynamics NAV 2009 the RTC environment should start getting more and more exposure. You will see tricks and solutions to both simple and complex business problems. Some posts are basically sticky notes for my own reference, and hopefully also yours.

Some of the previous posts has been:
