Posted by: laurentl in Untagged  on

This year again, convergence EMEA is in Denmark in Bella Center (very close to where I live :)).

If you want to meet with me at convergence to discuss any topic about the Dynamics Mobile, either use the convergence connect or send me a mail (laurent@createitin.net). I will be there the three days (18-19-20).

 I'll also bring an application that I'm working on at the moment. Cool UI and nice functionalities ;)


Start a tasklet from code

Sometimes, you need to start a tasklet from code. Like for instance, you need to start the synchronization tasklet if the data is missing or if you want to show a button that will start a specific "task".

Webinar about Dynamics Mobile

Posted by: laurentl in announcement on

 

I found a webinar: Introduction to Microsoft Dynamics - Why ISVs are Partnering with Microsoft Dynamics Web Seminar Series. There is a part dedicated to Dynamics Mobile.

Last time I explained how to make a tasklet generic using simple configuration with the appSettings and the labels. This time I'll explain how to create a more "complex" configuration.

 When you have to configure you tasklet based on more than just "flat" parameters, you need to use custom configuration. This allows you to have collections and "trees".

There are two ways to make your tasklet "generic" and configurable from the UserRole.xml file. In this post I will explain the first method.  

 

To configure a tasklet "instance", locate the definition of this instance in the UserRole.xml file (search for the element).


Discussion group

I have now added a discussion group.

So if you need to ask anything about the framework or anything else related, this is the place!


On monday the Microsoft Dynamics Mobile Team released the version 1.1 of the Mobile Development Tools and of the Mobile Sales.  

 

Now it also includes connectors for Nav 4.0 SP3 and 5.0 SP1.


Last friday has been "pre released" the Microsoft Dynamics Mobile 2008. Now with NAV connector!
