What’s New for Developers in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015

There are some new features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015.

The application and IDE hasn’t changed much in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015, but there are certainly a few long-awaited features. There are few useful features in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015 for developers:

  • Multiple-line comments in C/AL editor.

o   Finally we can comment (Shift + Ctrl + K) a block of code using //

o   And uncomment (Shift + Ctrl + O).

  • Support for Report Viewer 2014 and Report Builder 2014

o   Though there isn’t any new functionality, bug fixes only.

o   It is still possible to force 2012 version use also.

  • C/SIDE variable name defaulting

o   Names default to formatted object name. This feature is very handy, so from now on, when you create a variable for Record “Sales Line”, then variable name will default to “SalesLine”.
