🎯 True, the exception that proves the point and makes the suggestion remain interesting.

Like your consern for existing code 👍
Changing the behavior of a boolean expression depending on the operator you use could be interesting but perhaps also a source of headache when troubleshooting, even more so when combined in a single line 🤕

Wonder how much would break if we finally fixed it 👀
Probably a hard problem if it has lived this long....

Right now we're looking a lazy loading tenant app groups that's going to be the foundation for next steps. While you're right the one thing I can guaretee were looking at is the impact of in client customization. The outcome is perhaps more how the stars align 😂

It is an area we're aware is causing pain. The current metadata system does not do heavy impact analysis so it can considers any metadata change critical. We are looking at seeing if we can segment changes ex. to a specific user, or role consuming the impacted metadata - or maybe even delayed reload

Did you try the Nikka from the barrel? That was my favorite for the evening.

@stefanmaron.com @thedoubleh.dev thank you for the recommendation!
Made it through more than a few rounds.

At the #msdyn365bc #DirectionsEmea #Microsoft both with @aj.kauffmann.nl ready to answer questions.
Old and new question are welcome.

Front row seats for #msdyn365bc #DirectionsEmea

We've started a new test journey in the #msdyn365bc end goal is yet to be defined but pretty sure it contains the word agent/ic

When you don't know what to do in your #msdyn365bc development process.

Until next time - safe travels #BCTechDays

#BCTechDays ❤️

Missed the QR Code and want to get started today?
#TechDays #msdyn365bc
Plenty of time to learn in the shuttle bus, plane, car or while taking the 900km bike ride home ✈️🚌🚗🏍️

Taking the long drive from Crowne Plaza to the #BCTechDays hotel 🤣 Got to Antwerpen days early with a few million bugs from the autobahn.
Maybe I should spend some time before check-in cleaning some off it.

Yes that is a valid way of seeing it. We do emit additional metadata but not transformation af AL code. Parsing, symbols analysis etc. except emit still happens during this step. Transformation is on the server (JiT-ish) and ensures control of what executes on .net in the service.

Yes, it passes all parameters after 'compile' to the compiler so it would be the same as calling alc.exe

#msdyn365bc AL Tool now supports compile - try it out using the AL dotnet tool.
al compile /project:<your project path>

Themes Changing the color theme in Visual Studio Code. You can use color themes provided by VS Code, the community or create your own new themes.

Good thing you can easily create your own themes.

“It’s okay to take breaks and have fun sometimes." - even more so on a Friday? #msdyn365bc AL Language extension pre-release v16.0.1493797 has Business Central themes 😶‍🌫️.
Are you a dark og light fan?
Dark seems to work well with the inactive code.

It uses the themes so yes, excluded code is classified as a comment.

If you, like me, find it challenging to read #msdyn365bc code with a lot of 'if not Clean2X' statements, check out the AL Language pre-release v16.0.1433787! It offers even better semantic highlighting support for pragma.

🎉 Weekend fun for #msdyn365bc developers! The AL Language pre-release v16.0.1417442 is here, power up your symbol usage. 🚀 In #GitHub #Copilot chat, you can now use the # sym: syntax to include symbols. And Go To Symbol (Ctrl+T), navigating your workspace and dependencies has never been easier!

Just released the next next major 🥸 #msdyn365bc AL Language extension pre-release.
Interactive login is back 😎🗝️🍾

Thanks.
It may go unnoticed but Label is now more of a Text so it already has all the BeginsWith, Substring, IndesOf etc. you would expect after .ToText()

Not supported for now, ToText was added on simple types and while labels are text they are also of a more complex nature.

Hehe write some code that fails today, should pass if I fix it. Makes it easier for me to get to the root of the challenge to see if there is an easy fix.

Send me some AL tests that would verify such functionality works as expected. Then I'll see what I can do.

Ideally, yes, and I think this may be the scenarios where we would begin to implement real properties. So, if we do it, it may only require changes from you if you do ....Mode(true) and not ...Mode := true

Uhhh ping me on teams or mail, I'd love to understand why.
