I Love NAV - Enhanced Notes
The Enhanced Notes add-in is designed as a replacement tool for creating notifications in the NAV Role Tailored Client.

In addition to the standard NAV Notification functionality, this tool also allows you to send notes to multiple users at the same time as well as enter notes without drilling down into the card or document page. More additions are planned.

Please note that the automatic installation will only work with a NAV 2009 R2 database as it utilizes DotNet variables. As such this add-in has only been tested for NAV 2009 R2, but it should also work for NAV 2009 and NAV 2009 SP1 if you are willing to do a manual implementation.

HI,

we have just installed this on our NAV 2009 R2 test server using the automatic installer.
(We had to change the FOB numbers as 50000 was in use).

We can post a new note but when we try to send to a note NAV crashes with the following:

Description:
Stopped working

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: CLR20r3
Problem Signature 01: microsoft.dynamics.nav.client
Problem Signature 02: 6.0.0.0
Problem Signature 03: 4d030e65
Problem Signature 04: System.DirectoryServices
Problem Signature 05: 2.0.0.0
Problem Signature 06: 4a275e82
Problem Signature 07: 9c
Problem Signature 08: c4
Problem Signature 09: PSZQOADHX1U5ZAHBHOHGHLDGIY4QIXHX
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.272.7
Locale ID: 2057

As we had to change all the ID's (for the pages and codeunits) I am wondering if this has caused this issue.

Can you help?

System.DirectoryServices is used for the Active Directory integration. I don't believe changing the object id numbers would cause any trouble, and if it did it should throw a NAV error and not put one in the Event Log. Unfortunately "Stopped working" is about as not descript of an error message as you can get.

Some questions that may help:
Does this happen every time you try to create a new note? Under any user id? Try using different users that have different permission levels.
What happens when you hover over a user in the drop down list? Does it pop up with their name or group members?

During the save the add-in will perform a user lookup to determine if you have selected any groups and pull the appropriate group members so this is most likely where the error is happening.

Of course! Our dev server is not on the AD!

So we decided to test on our live server (after taking backups). Sending message works fine but we have had to remove it.
The old notes now appear as garbage which means we will lose our existing notes (we have thousands).

Feel free to send me some examples. It should work fine with the existing notes.

how can i translate this tool?

That's a good question. At the moment you would have to decompile the dll files (I use .NET Peek). Sorry I forgot to include the C# source in the download. I will add your request to the list of enhancements, though, as I think it is a good one. Some sort of easy to use, multi-language capability like NAV has. I'll send you a PM when a new version is released.

Just wanted to check / request again if you could possibly send me some examples of this not working. I have not run into any problems when viewing notes created in the "base notes" part in the Enhanced Notes add-in.

At a minimum the next release will include multi-language functionality and "setup options" so you can turn on/off things like AD Integration, Popup Notes, etc. I'm hoping to include editing and deleting notes as well.

Dear I am using enhanced note in my client Server, but somethimes i haveing one error that is .NET error along with some xml code, related enhanced note. could you please advice me why this error comeing? really i am having very diffulties

Could you provide the actual error message? It's impossible to help without it.

Thanks For your reply, i have attacheed image with this post,
Here is details as a text also.

---------------------------

---------------------------
Error retrieving value in .NET Code:

An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1, position 2122.
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, Int32 lineNo, Int32 linePos)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.HandleEntityReference(Boolean isInAttributeValue, EntityExpandType expandType, Int32& charRefEndPos)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseAttributeValueSlow(Int32 curPos, Char quoteChar, NodeData attr)
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseAttributes()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElement()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseElementContent()
at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read()
at NAVAddIns.NAVEnhancedNotesAddin.ParseXML(String xmlString)
at NAVAddIns.NAVEnhancedNotesAddin.set_Value(String value)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

That is a strange one. That error should be followed by the XML that is being passed back and forth. It would be right after the stack trace, but there appears to be no XML going back and forth. Since there's no XML, and apparently nothing at all, to parse it is throwing that error.

This could maybe be caused by special characters in the note. Assuming the notes related to this record are not confidential to your company, would you be able to post them here? Or perhaps PM them to me if you don't want everyone to see.

Can you confirm that you haven't modified any of the code in NAV at all for Enhanced Notes? As far as I can tell it is impossible for it to pass an empty string to the add-in. This is the Load method in the Enhanced Notes page. I'm not sure if you have developer access, but perhaps you could temporarily add a message here to confirm the XML that is being created?

yes, i did not modify anything, i followed your step only, if you want i can give you access, or suggest me how i can give more details, my email id is amitdas@ibizcs.com, you can put me test email, i am not sure i m just helpless in this situation. please help on this issue
