The process of finding and correcting errors is called debugging. You debug objects that run in the Classic client with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV debugger. You debug objects that run in the RoleTailored client with Visual Studio.

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, code is executed in the common language runtime (CLR), which is the .NET Framework run-time environment. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 has a Microsoft Dynamics NAV class library that contains .NET versions of C/AL functions. New objects in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009, such as pages and client report definition (RDLC) report layouts, were created with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV class library. These objects cannot run in the Classic client. This means that you cannot debug these objects with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV debugger. For objects that were available in previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and that are also available in the RoleTailored client, C# code was generated so that the objects run in the CLR. You can debug these objects in either the Microsoft Dynamics NAV debugger or in Visual Studio. You can debug objects that are available only in the Classic client, such as forms and dataports, in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV debugger but not in Visual Studio.

The following table shows the objects in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 and which debugger to use.
