re: Garbage Collector in NAV 2009

Per Rasmussen — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:46:27 GMT

It is not that garbage collection is disabled by default. I don't think that's even possible. It is a matter of whether Workstation or Server garbage collection is used. In (very) short, the rule of thumb is that the option you list can improve performance if your box has more than two CPUs.

Memory is never freed immediately after all references to a memory block goes out of scope. No matter the GC mode. The reason Server garbage collection is better for an NAV server has something to do with the thread orchestration. If you're interested you can read more at: msdn.microsoft.com/.../ee787088.aspx

Nonetheless, it would indeed be interesting to hear about experiences.

re: Universal WPF Addin for NAV v1.3

You do not need it if you use this cool tool:

blogs.msdn.com/.../registration-tool-for-dynamics-nav-roletailored-client-add-ins.aspx

But if you need:

Addin name: NAVERTICA.DynamicsNAV.UniWPFAddin

Public key token: cceba51df27660cc

Version: 1.3.0.0

Hi Kine, did I miss it somewhere? I'm looking for the Control Add-In Name and Public Key Token needed to register this for NAV. Cheers, Dave.

May be using the Visual Studio and trying to create some custom control in XAML, reading books, Internet etc. I did it in this way.Some things I have from different Microsoft Developers days and other meetings. Idea is, that XAML is just text description of the controls/objects. (serialized objects).

Hi Kine,

that's fantastic. I'm amazed this is possible -what a brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing the code. Hopefully I'll get time to try it out. Have you any recomendations on how to get up to speed with XAML?

Dave.

Directions EMEA 2010: Testing your functionality

There is nothing much new on the Testing Codeunits Functionality, only that it hasn't been adopted

Sorry to bother you, I found the answer, basically one needs to do the following to see the sub-type property:

Tools>> Options>>Show C/AL Testability properties

Hi,

I have recently downloaded this NAV2009 SP1, but could not find this Property of codeunit "Sub-type", can you please guide me on this?

re: The Art of NAV –Dynamics NAV 2009 network Stats

PDJ — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:26:54 GMT

These results are very interesting. Thanks a lot for your great work! :-)

I'm quite surprised about the problem with reports, but great to get the info. This also clarifies that the new client is not an alternative to a Citrix solution for low bandwidth locations. I guess a Citrix client will only transfer 1-5% of the other two clients.

We will see if the bug will make it into final version or someone will "debug" it... ;-)

This is just great, but please make someone fix the block commenting bug. Please. :-)

re: The Art Of Nav – NAV 2009 CTP4 stats

kine — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:30:45 GMT

Hello David. CTP4 is available for partners from today (25.9.2008). Of course, these statistics were done on CTP4 I had access as MVP. Statistics are based on results of my NAV objects for extracting the relations under name "The Art of NAV - Big picture of NAV" and Excel pivot table. Nothing more, nothing less. As announced, there are no big changes in data structure of NAV 2009 when compared with NAV 5.0SP1. Only some small changes. But this will need deeper analysis.

re: The Art Of Nav – NAV 2009 CTP4 stats

David Roys — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:02:58 GMT

Hi Kamil, does that mean that the CTP4 is available for general download now or is this as a result of your MVP status?

It's interesting to see these stats - it would be even more to see what would happen if you excluded the tables that were introduced to provide the Cue FlowField Counts for the Activities pages in the Role Centres. This would give us some indication of the data changes in the standard functionality that may require special attention for an upgrade. It would also be interesting to know how you are making these statistics. Did you write a custom program or are you using some kind of tool?

re: Where to place my code?

kine — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 05:10:00 GMT

Hello David,

I know that many things in the diagram are not clear or just "to be there", but take it as a first version. I am waiting for comments like yours to make it better.

You can download the Visio diagram from the link in the article. Images in the article are just examples. In the visio file there are other diagrams too(Reports, Forms...). On the google code site, there are the images in full quality (200DPI) if you need them...

Great idea! I have raised this question with my mentor more than once in my short time as a NAV Developer.

re: Where to place my code?

David Roys — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 21:13:59 GMT

Hi Kine, wow - it's been a few months since you posted - good to see you back.

I'm all for this idea of bringing order to the world of NAV. It would be nice to see the "Isn't codeunit better?" replaced with some decisions that would help us understand what makes a codeunit better.

Also these diagrams don't look too good on the web site and are a bit tricky to read - maybe you could save them with a bit higher resolution or in a different format?

The first diagram - it isn't immediately obvious where to start - it would be nice to have the first box always being something like "Where do I put my Code?"

It would be interesting to see what the Rookies think - I'll ask some new starters in my team to take a look and leave a comment.

re: MBS Navision with MS SQL Option and Vista™ RC1

This "workaround" is just for SP2. If you have SP3 ask your partner or if you are partner ask Microsoft for needed updates for SP3.
