I just got out of a really interesting session with Lars Hammer and Thomas Hejlsberg. For those of you who are not familiar with these names: they are the architects of Dynamics NAV. The cool thing about their job is they and their team get to invent cool stuff that might eventually be in the product one day. And that is what this session was all about. So the things I write in this post are not features in NAV 7 or 8, they are ideas of things that might possibly end up in the product at some form. I will highlight the three things that impressed me the most. DevBase Now this product…

Another cool new feature that will be introduced in R2 is object locking. For some of us this is something we have been waiting for for a long long time. So what does it do; basically they have added two fields to the Object Table: Locked and Locked by User. It allows you to check in and check out objects and prevent other developers to modify the object while you are doing your feature. Cool isn’t it? Thank you Microsoft

This year Directions USA is held in San Diego California. You’d expect sunny weather but no, it is foggy and rainy. I hope we are not adopting the EMEA rain events. You might remember the days when I and Waldo did a lot of blogging when we went to events like this and wonder why this is not that active anymore. I have been thinking about that and my guess is that the content is not as hot as it was one or two years ago. Back then we had a lot of cool new stuff like RTC, webservices, RDLC reports etc. This has all been long released in most of the countries and most sessions here are repeating…
