How to split a string to array with Dynamics NAV
During the preparation of the web services examples, I stumbled upon some .Net interoperability issues in Dynamics NAV. One of these issues was about splitting a string into an array.

NAV2016 Data Upgrade process and language settings [update]
In the previous post I explained why automatically running Codeunit 2 Company Initialization during the data upgrade could be a problem. Main problem is the language used during the data upgrade.

Read Server & Tenant Settings from C/AL Code
Back in April 2015 I wrote an article about reading server settings with C/AL code. Unfortunately, that code didn’t work in NAV 2015 and above.
