FinCAL - Powerful NAV Object Viewer


As a Dynamics NAV Developer, we always wished our Dynamics NAV Development Environment could deliver more feature like other IDE. A simple feature like code navigation is so tedious you simply lost track or press ESC key accidentally. We wish this developer environment with folding lines to indicate indentation with collapse and expand feature not just only for Function or Procedure level. Could bookmark a code line and track back later. And last but not the least we (at least I) wished keywords are more glorious or eye catching.


I am working on this project for last 3 months and more to create and Dynamics NAV IDE Source code viewer to enhance NAV source code file readability.





My fellow Dynamics NAV developer presenting FinCAL – A powerful Dynamics NAV Source Code Viewer. This is still in its infant stage and I am continuous working on more advance features like integrating Code Metrics to calculate our code efficiency. More on upcoming updates. .  ..


FinCAL (v0.8 Beta) has following features so far:

  • 1       Large range of keyword highlighting
  • 2       Bookmark feature to navigate among lines easily.
  • 3       Navigate previous and forward lines accessed.
  • 4       Procedure or Trigger accessed navigation through object source code.
  • 5    Visible Folding lines for BEGIN and END.
  • 6       Can open multiple objects as tab view & many more...

I like to request everyone who tried this tool to share your valuable feedback to improve this application as “We all love Dynamics NAV”

  2. Hello!
    The tool FinCAL is very nice, I like it, however, when a file with a lot of objects is loaded, the tool unfortunately crashes with Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException'.
    Are you still developing the tool? Will there be any updated version?
