What are the design guidelines and design patterns you wished you knew when you started your job as a Business Central Developer?

Hello #msdyn365bc developer community.

Let's try something new. #BCCodeReview 🤓

if Item.Get(SomeOtherTable."Item No.") then ;

What happens when it doesn't find the item? it keeps going, even if the item doesn't exist.

Would you change it to just
Item.Get(SomeOtherTable."Item No.");

Testing PdfDocumentInfoInstance.PageWitdth in BC27 to detect PDF page format. Regardless of the file, BC always returns the same (wrong) value. Is the PDF implementation buggy or unfinished in CU04? #bcalhelp

Dear #msdyn365bc community on Bluesky - what has happened to you?

Our start here was quite vibrant, but for weeks if not months, the number of posts decreases, even from the MVPs, and I see no more #bcalhelp inquiries.
Where are you? Why don't you write anymore?

#bcalhelp Event subscription and performance

To move code completely (!) into separate feature folders, one needs to remove a direct integration into other objects and subscribe to their events instead.

Do we know how much this decreases performance? Big enough to be measured?

Is anyone able to provide a feed on Bsky that shows all posts containing #bcalhelp? That would be awesome!

Parallel Worker for Business Central

I would like to present Parallel Worker, an open-source library for running parallel tasks in pure AL. It offers a unified interface, reliable execution.

Hi #msdyn365bc #bcalhelp community! Does anyone know more about the status of the migration of the "Dynamics 365 Business Central Partner Community" on Yammer to Viva Engage?

We cannot access the Yammer nor Viva Engage community.
We have also filled in the form, even though it is not necessary.

Apologies to everyone who is waiting for me to find a replacement feed service for #MSDyn365BC and #BCALhelp

I’m really busy with work just now but I will get to it shortly.

Anybody knows how to create a hyperlink in a Word template to be replaced by a field value? When using "{HYPERLINK { MERGEFIELD "Home_Page" }}", the word "here" is indeed underlined but the address part remains empty. #msdyn365bc

Let’s try some good old fashioned Twitter style escalation from the old days for #msdyn365bc. It has now been weeks in which we have a broken tenant after upgrading to 25.0 and having a fulltextindex set to true on lookup flow fields (which was allowed in the compiler with no warnings.)

Word on the street is that Microsoft made a booboo and this is not a real problem. Can anyone in here verify and maybe link to the official reply from Microsoft?

One of my clients is facing significant difficulties with #msdyn365bc, particularly because they can no longer use Outlook for email sending within BC. This change has created a lot of challenges for their workflow, since they upgraded to v24 Webclient. Anyone with similar experiences?

If you'd have to validate the code of a completely new app to see if you'd be able to support it. What do you look at?

Here’s the #bcalhelp one.

I think I’ll leave the other as is as it’s a catch all for all the hashtags. It’s easy enough to edit them once set up.

But just to stress. Feeds only show the last four days of posts. So they’re not as complete as searching the hashtag.

What’s an argument FOR having labels as globals when they’re only used once?

A lot of (new) MS objects keep them global, and I can’t think of a good reason why…

Business Central is actively integrating AI. I suggest exploring this using simple example: create Copilot for generating Payment Terms records.

Those come from user created "feeds". @matnav.co.uk made one that is for #bcalhelp, though I think it seems to be working a lil slow?
