Back in January 2011 i wrote about the NAV Launcher, a project based on the Navision Starter v1.2 orignally created by Sergey Gazizyanov back in 2006. Well, i realized that i never put a download link on the site.
Attached in this post is the installer for the .NET project. It requires, as far as i remember .NET framework version 2.
After switching blogging software, due to a server crash i never really got the old posts reposted from the original blog. I have had a lot of requests for one particular post: Dynamics NAV and the ROT table. I started finding the old backup of the database, to restore the post and realized it is almost 3 years old. Cant believe how fast times goes by. But after reading the very interesting post from Waldo about their new tool ReVision i came to think of this old post. (unfortunately i will not be at Directions in San Diego myself, even though i just live a couple of hours from there! But i hope to get some updates from people seeing the tool demonstrated!).
Basically what the post was about was the features of Rolling Object Table, a feature that allows Windows programs to publish “interfaces” to some of it internal features – i dont know it this is the correct description of it though :). Dynamics NAV is exposing some methods to read/write objects through the client, as well as querying forms and getting other data from the client. Since my original post, there has been quite a few additional blogs featuring the technology. We (see kudos section at the bottom) were playing around with the .NET Reflector tool, and used it on one of Celenia Version Controls dll’s. I had the same features as used in the Developers Toolkit for importing/exporting objects from the running client.
Returning from vacation i was all ready to get back into the blogging. But as you know, returning from a vacation, there a usually a lot of loose ends to catch up on, so most of the first week went with that. Then traveling to Atlanta for a customer go-live, and back in Atlanta this week for post go-live support and 3rd party integrations.
My colleague Henrik Helgesen, has finally fired up his Adventures of the E-Ship Guy postings, after we kept asking him questions. See the first entry here about Blind and Double Blind Shipments. Im hoping he will soon blog about another add-on we recently did for E-Ship, integrating light and sound with Pack Line Scan, so warehouse workers with wireless scanners can easier work without having to look on the screen all the time.
Just a quick post here serving as shortcut for implementing Microsoft Navision Mail.SmtpMessage in older databases. All it requires is these objects:
ERP software knows math, or do they? 
Dynamics NAV can do simple arithmetic in a decimal field, eg. type “14*50+10” and the system will evaluate this to the correct result “710”. But if you start nesting your expression with parenthesis it gets a bit confused and tells you “Please specify a decimal or calculation expression”. In certain scenarios, you will require complex setups for eg. item pricing or salesperson commissions, that is defined by a formula with certain constants in it (read: other field values).
