CSDynamicsNAVWebServices

Download: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/CSDynamicsNAVWebServices-21bb94f1

This is the first Dynamics NAV code sample released in Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework.  Written by Lars Lohndorf-Larsen and reviewed by Jasminka Thunes - Microsoft escalation engineers in UK, this sample contains code for using Web Services with Microsoft Dynamics NAV.  The intention is to help Dynamics consultants understanding the syntax, and give them one place from where they can copy c# code needed to integrate to NAV via web services, instead of having to browse around for samples on various blogs and web sites. The project contains sample code for the following scenarios:

  • Invoking a NAV Codeunit
  • Creating an instance of a NAV Page
  • Read a full list of records
  • Read a filtere list of records
  • Read a single record
  • Insert a new record
  • Insert multiple new records
  • Modify a record
  • Modify multiple records
  • Delete a record

CSCreateMiniDump, VBCreateMiniDump

Downloads

C# version: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/CSCreateMiniDump-7956a407
VB version: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/VBCreateMiniDump-630c3f5d

The code sample demonstrates how to programmatically create a minidump when a .NET application has an unhandled exception and is about to crash.

When an application runs, it will launch a Watchdog process that can debug the application and subscribe the OnException event of the application. If there is an unhandled exception, the Watchdog process will create a minidump for the application.

The reason why we need a watch dog process is that MiniDumpWriteDump should be called  from a separate process if at all possible, rather than from within the target process being dumped. This is especially true when the target process is already not stable.  For example, if it just crashed. A loader deadlock is one of many potential side effects of calling MiniDumpWriteDump from within the target process. For more detailed information,  see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680360(VS.85).aspx.

Note:

  • This sample works for managed processes only, because it uses MDbg to debug the target process.
  • The watch dog process must be built with the same platform as the main application.

The sample demonstrates how to create a soft keyboard, also known as on-screen keyboard or virtual keyboard. It has the following features

  • It will not get focus when a key button clicked.
  • If the user presses the left mouse button within its nonclient area(such as the title bar), it will be activated. When the left mouse button is released, it will activate the previous foreground Window.
  • When user clicks a charactor on it, like "A" or "1", it will send the key to the active application.
  • It supports special keys, like "WinKey" "Delete".
  • It supports the combination of keys, like "Ctrl+C".

NOTE: Ctrl+Alt+Del is not supported as it will cause security issue.
