Run a CODEUNIT via NAS, containing a function from FORM object?

Question

Is it possible to run a CODEUNIT via NAS (Navision Application Server) while the codeunit itself contains a function from FORM object?

P.S.: Navision version: 2009 R2

Answer 1

You are able to run code on NAS as long as this code doesn't actually call form functions. E.g., the following code is fine for NAS:

IF GUIALLOWED THEN
  MyForm.SomeFunction();

But you will not be able to run function from a form even if it contains only non-GUI-specific logic. This is one of the reasons not to put any business logic on forms :)

The same rule goes to NAV Server and Web Services. Form (and dataport) objects are not being translated to C#, so it is not possible to run code from a form or dataport.
