NAV Change Listener is not always listening..

Since NAV 2009 RTC, live has become .. let's say .. more challenging regarding "installations", isn't it ;-). There are loads of settings, parameters and configurations you have to get familiar with (Delegation, SPN, SQL Server, Active Directory, Kerberos fluff, ...) before you're even able to get it running. And then .. when you're completely in euphoria about being able to do so .. sometimes .. it's with the nose flat against the wall .. Because you notice that all...

Directions EMEA 2012: Final Thoughts

OK, here we go .. . It has been a "ride" to Directions .. both literally as mentally. In only 7 days, I went on a trip by car, taxi, train and plane! By car to the Alpes with perfect weather conditions: From Austria, by taxy to the train station, and by train to Rome: By plane back home, to play Kubbs with my kids just an hour after arriving: Busy week .. whereof Directions was the busiest time - as it should be. As stated in my previous blog .. I had two sessions (of which I'm going...

Directions EMEA 2012

This blogpost comes too late .. and I would like to apologize for that. As you might have noticed , I'm quite fond of Directions ( EMEA and US ). Lots of people, all enthusiastic about NAV, making their living of it .. in one place, talking and doing business .. . Great atmosphere, great networking abilities. The fact that I only blog about it just now is too disrespectful :(. The reason is as always: time! I'm guessing we're all swamped with work .. and i'm not an exception, I'm...

Source Control in NAV - iFacto ReVision v1.2.3

I apologize for this piece of advertisement, I'm just too convinced that it can help you :-). It took us a while .. mainly because it's soooo busy at iFacto that eats away a lot of ReVision development time .. but it's here (actually for a few weeks now already - and new builds still coming up ...) .. a new version of ReVision. As you probably noticed, I'm not blogging about every update that comes out, but this time I couldn't resist. I wanted to share a few cool things.. . Probably...

Convergence 2012 Round Up - NAV 2013 is coming!

It's hard to follow convergence when you're not actually there .. or you don't take the time.. . And I didn't. I have gathered bits and bytes from various resources, rumours, ... . Makes me want to go back in time, when I was actually there and shared my experiences . Due to the fact that MVP's are not invited anymore .. this has become too expensive for me. Anyway, people are there .. and people seem to be enthusiastic. :-) There are lots of feeds, tweets (#conv12), queets, facebook...

OutOfMemoryException when printing an RDLC report

I have been writing quite some posts lately .. a bit too much "announcements" imho. Let's provide some content ;°). It's something we ran into lately, of which I had trouble to find solutions for.. so perfect as a blogpost. It's about a possible error when printing an RDLC report. This is the Dutch/English version of the error message - it's the Englisch part which is most interesting: It comes down to: "not enough memory .. printing the report has failed .. do something...

Microsoft Dynamics is sponsoring Formula 1

On one of my previous blogs .. Wallace provided a comment that put my attention on the following cool fact: Microsoft Dynamics is sponsoring (or going to) the Lotus Formula 1 team. Cool! You can read all about it all over the place, like: http://www.lotusf1team.com/Microsoft-Partners-with-Lotus-F1.html?lang=en http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98015 ...

BDC: .Net Interop & Client Extensibility

Last week, we organized a new session in Belgium about the cool stuf in NAV developing: .Net Interop and Client Extensibility . I didn't do this session, but Gunter Peeters (Van Roey Automation) did. I just knew it was going to be an interesting session, as Gunter is one of those guys that puts stuff like this in a good use .. when Microsoft comes out with (e.g.) Client Extensibility, Gunter sees it as an opportunity for many implementations .. and so he learns and uses it! His employer is Van...

Platform updates overview - 3.70.B - NAV2009 R2 (UPDATED 5)

Oh my .. I had to go through about 250 updates to compose the next version of this list. Seems that too much time has gone over - my bad - my apologies. It seemed that Microsoft found some old KB articles in some old dusty corner of a worm-eaten closet as well .. which made me skip quite a few of old stuff, because (imho) they were not interesting enough. On top of that, someone found a new way to let people pay attention to certain KB articles by just adding some of them twice :-/. Anyway .. the...

Intervat 8.0: Mind the namespaces! (5)

Here's another update for Intervat 8.0 for an inconsitency in report 11307 regarding the namespace. These have been defined as text constants and these text constants have been translated, what caused the output with BE-FR (FRB) language have a wrong namespace . How do you fix this?

Intervat 8.0: Mind the phone numbers! (4)

Sorry to bother you again with this, but there seems to be something wrong with the current update for Intervat 8.0. No, read my words carefully: there seems to be something wrong. In this case, it's totally intervat's responsibility, as they seem to have miscommunicated the wrong XSD. It's about the phonenumber in the xml-file. It should not contain any special characters, only numeric. But if you look at their xsd, it mentions this: < xs:simpleType name = " PhoneNumber_Type...
