Forbidden Knowledge: How To Find Field Values from External Apps in Business Central

I was working on a report in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central recently, and the client wanted the report to show a value from an extension that was not a dependency for my customizations app. Because I am lazy efficient, I did not want to go to the trouble of adding an entire separate app as a dependency just to get a single field onto one report.

Executing external programs

Sometimes it’s needed to add functionality not delivered by NAV. One way is to use .net addemblies or automations. Another scenario can be to run an external program in C/AL. The old way is to use the quite old SHELL Command or class WshShell of the Windows Scripting Host. In both cases when running an external program a security warning is displayed. To avoid that and to have also a much prettier solution, use the class System.Diagnostics.Process from the .net framework (assembly System.dll). For usage in RTC set the property RunOnClient to true, for usage on the server only like job queues set the value to false.
