Every developer has sometimes the issue: What is my next version number for the new object ? If there is a couple of developers working in the some database, you’ll need a kind of a version control. I’ve developed a page, which calculates the next version number for a defined version prefix. The version sytax is: <PREFIX><Main No.>.<2-digit Sub No.>. Let’s start with a list of pages...

Let's confess before I start: getting standard tests to run against your code is by no means rocket science. However, I dare say many peers out there haven't even touched the Test Toolkit, seemingly looking at it as an unbearable threshold. Too much work. Of no relevance to their code. Unknown = unloved (as my mother used to say). Clearly the majority of the audience I have been speaking to on the Test Automation...

Microsoft is on the move! Ever since the start of Satya Nadella as CEO some three years ago, the company really seems to change every single aspect of their business.

Microsoft said goodbye to ‘Worldwide Partner Conference'...

But of course, next to a vast number of functional features, also the availability of PowerShell cmdlets, upgrade codeunits and test automation...

Maybe you've met that perfect communicating couple. They finish each other's sentences. They always know the other's schedule. When they send out party invites there's no question who will contact whom. They don't tell each other to pick up dinner on the way home, because the other has already stopped at the shop. It's almost like they share a sixth sense. Don't you wish your software...

When a production order is created based on the item, there also reports available, a few of them are listed here: The reporting for the item: The most interesting is probably the "Detailled...
