Code sample repo for developing extensions in Visual Studio

Welcome to the code sample repo for developing extensions to Dynamics NAV.

This repo contains AL language code samples for developing extensions on the Dynamics NAV platform. We're not yet in preview, so this repo is meant as a way for you to get familiar with the new syntax and provide feedback.

Microsoft has published sample files here.

Looking forward to play with Visual Studio development environment preview which may available for Christmas.

Microsoft PowerApps with Dynamics 365 for Financials

In PowerApps, you can generate an app automatically, customize it, create an app from scratch, and share and run apps that you create or that others create and share with you.

To generate an app automatically, you just need to specify one of a variety of data sources.

We can generate apps from below data sources.

·         the Common Data Service

·         a SQL Server database

·         Salesforce

·         Dynamics 365

·         Excel workbook (in a cloud-storage account)

You can also build an app from a template. Each template is based on fictitious data in a cloud account, such as Dropbox. Explore specific screens and controls to understand how they're configured, and experiment with customization to discover techniques that you can apply to your own apps.
