Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a complete business management solution that can help you streamline business processes, connect individual departments in your company, and enhance customer interactions. Ok. That first part was really professional sounding, right? Now, let’s get into what this cookbook is going to do for you: put simply, it’s going to help you get things done. This book will help you get to grips with the latest development features and tools for building applications using Business Central. You’ll find recipes that will guide you in developing and testing applications that can be deployed to the cloud or on-premises. For the old-schoolers out there, you’ll also learn how to take your existing Dynamics NAV customizations and move them to the new AL language platform. Also, if you haven’t figured it out already, we’re going to be using very normal language throughout the book to keep things light. After all, developing applications is fun, so why not have fun learning as well!

Consuming Azure Functions

Back in the .Net Interoperability recipe in Chapter 3, Let's Go Beyond, I mentioned a few times that using .NET controls in an online Business Central environment is not allowed. So, what do you do if your solution requires .NET and there's no other way to do what you need to do?

Azure Functions is a serverless application that's published in Azure and that can be called from your Business Central application. This is where you can put your .NET DLLs and logic, which will then let you use .NET in your online Business Central systems.

This recipe will show you how to publish an Azure Function and call it from a Business Central application.
