Well, here is the story… you know for troubleshooting issues remotely screenshots of the process and error messages are always a big help, so our support department requested that from a customer.

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.

Since the days of Visual Basic 6, where we were creating OCX (Custom Controls) for Navision, and up till now with COM Interop with .NET programming language, the .NET platform has become a great development platform.

Until now! R2 as you know has announced its arrival in next month (hopefully), and with it the introduction of .NET interop.

The Microsoft Dynamics NAV Team Blog has a great post on this subject, as well as real examples of how to use it. Check it out, this will rock your world!

Oopsie, my old blog broke down due to some changes my web host was doing while migrating to new servers.

Sometimes force majeure is a great way to start over and do things better, and that is our current goal here on GotCAL.com. We will revisit some of our old blog posts, along with new exciting subjects.
In order to have things work smoother for updates and new posts, we have also migrated to the WordPress platform, and are now publishing via Microsoft OneNote 2010. I have a backup of the old site, and will post the old entries here as i get to them.

Welcome back to the new Got C/AL!
