Hello Friends,

This blog will help to enable Modern Development Environment with Dynamics NAV 2018.

Go into the Dynamics NAV 2018 Administration, select the Development fast tab, check Enable Developer Service Endpoint. 

Now port 17049 is open, and you have access to use Visual Studio Code.


You should also specify the target of your extensions:

Allow Extension Target Level should be Internal.

To get Visual Studio Code up and running, you need the VS extension; it can be found here in the install image:

\ModernDev\program files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Modern Development Environment\ALLanguage.vsix

In Visual Studio Code, use Install from VSIX from the extension … menu:

Install it, and you should get this:

Version 0.12.15355 is the version delivered with NAV2018.

Now you successfully install AL Language extension in VS Code.
