Is there an official Navision 2015 Application Designer Guide? - dynamics-nav

I have been able to download a Dynamics NAV PDF that is stamped for version 5.00. We are using NAV 2015 (version 8). I can find stuff on MSDN, but was wondering if there was an official PDF somewhere so when I'm not connected to the Internet, I can still read through the documentation.

there is nothing offline unfortunately.
Everything is on MSDN for Dynamics NAV even the Application Help.
You can download something "semi-offical" from here: CAL-Coding-Guidelines-at-Microsoft-Development-Center-Copenhagen.pdf
But most of the guidelines are still the same since Version 5 (even the original version 2...)
Cheers!

Visual Studio Code for the Web and Salesforce CLI

No Salesforce Extension Packs are available; am I wrong in concluding the web version of Visual Studio Code is useless for Salesforce development at this time?
using VS Code in the browser as a text editor certainly feels handicapped after being used to the tooling provided by the Salesforce Extensions.
Salesforce certainly seems aware of this and the benefits of a browser based code editor. In June 2020 Salesforce announced a pilot of Code Builder, which is a browser based version of VS Code with the Salesforce extensions built into it.
At Dreamforce this year (2021) it was announced that a beta Code Builder would become available in Spring 22. The spring 22 release notes have recently been published. While it doesn't seem to mention Code Builder, it is clearly something that has been in the works for a while and could be seen soon. Keep your eyes peeled, and if anyone else has any further information I'd love to hear it!

Silverlight 4 SDK

I have to modify a very legacy Silverlight 4 application in VS2012.
But I cannot found where can I download SL4 SDK.
Does somebody know where could I find it?
Unfortunately it is not an option to upgraded it to SL5.
Br,
Jozsef
It looks like the WayBack Machine has it.
http://web.archive.org/web/20120503175703/http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=18149
I have confirmed that the Tools download has the SDK in it.
From the Microsoft search results:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=silverlight&first=21
You take the bad URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18149
To the way back machine, it will point you in the right direction.
The accepted answer actually provides a link to Silverlight 4 tools for VS2010 but I needed Silverlight 4 SDK
I found this link https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe, it's not valid anymore but using Wayback Machine I was able to get that file. Here is the link https://web.archive.org/web/20151018151935/https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe

DataGrip added value compared to IntelliJ IDEA

So, I was wondering if there is really some new features coming from JetBrains DataGrip software.
So far, I didn't find anything that is not already there in IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate). I didn't spend much time using it though.
I am Max, the PMM of DataGrip.
We usually say that DataGrip provides the same functionality as all the other IDE's from JetBrains with the database support. As mentioned above, DataGrip provides better user experience as a standalone IDE.
OBSOLETTE:
In 2016.3 there's a feature that is DataGrip specific
Tracking database changes
If there are lots of changes in many places, you can see all of them
from the Database Changes window. Important! This window is available
only in DataGrip, but not in other IntelliJ-based IDE's.
https://www.jetbrains.com/datagrip/whatsnew/
From FAQ part from this blog.
Does DataGrip repeat the functionality of the database tools in other JetBrains IDEs?
Yes, the first version focuses on that core functionality.
Further dialog from comments:

This repeats the functionality in Intellij, but does it add any more features over and above Intellij? If they are equal right now, will that always be the case? Would be nice to see a feature comparison chart.

The latest version of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate includes the functionality of DataGrip 1.0. Still, DataGrip is focused on working with databases and SQL and thus may provide better user experience as a standalone IDE.

SL 4 Version Hell? The silverlight developer runtime is not installed please install a matching version

I've been developing for and running Silverlight 4 for about a week. A week ago I installed the Silverlight 4 design time components to develop and debug silverlight for VS 2010 - I posted some of these apps and they were used by users running SL4. Today, I went to a website that told me to upgrade my SL (I think it was the MS expression site) - so I did that and all the sudden I get this error when running SL 4 apps within VS 2010.
The silverlight developer runtime is not installed please install a matching version
Installing the latest version of the Silverlight SDK does not correct this. Basically I am stuck and unable to run Silverlight apps from VS2010.
Are versioning problems like this a common theme in SilverLight? The only thing I can think of is that there is a minor version difference between the versions used on the the MS Expression web site and the version (SL4) I installed from MS site a few days ago? However re-installing the latest version of SL4 does not correct this.
Any help?
The developer runtime is a different download than the normal "end user" runtime.
Again quoting from Tim Heur's Blog, you need to look for the link under "getting the updates" that points to the developer runtime. This will allow you to debug etc.

Silverlight 3 - Visual Studio Tools

I am trying to get started doing some Silverlight development. I am interested in learning about the out-of-browser support. I can create and run Silverlight 3 applications just fine. I have confirmed that I have Silverlight 3 instead of Silverlight 3 Beta. I have been able to confirm this because my API list includes Application.InstallStateChanged instead of Application.ExecutionStateChanged.
However, I do not have the option to enable my application to run offline in Visual Studio. I can see this option in this blog post (http://johnpapa.net/silverlight/updated-silvertwit-code-for-msdn-magazine/). Unfortunately, I do not have the option shown or the Reduce XAP size option. I have downloaded the Visual Studio tools from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9442b0f2-7465-417a-88f3-5e7b5409e9dd&displaylang=en).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
It looks like John Papa is using a new version of visual studio possibly the VS2010 beta.
Try this tutorial instead

Corrupted Install
It looks like a corrupted install. Try uninstalling and then see Allen Chen's advice here:
http://silverlight.net/forums/t/83226.aspx including:
Silverlight3_Tools.exe /x:c:\temp /u to manually extract the SL 3 files and c:\temp\SPInstaller.exe to verify the tools install.
Use Blend
Also, If you have Blend 3 installed (preview here) you can enable Out of the Browser inside of Blend. See Project->Silverlight Project Options.
One thing might be that your Silverlight developer runtime got corrupted/overwritten. Try installing it once and see if it solves...
