Extension approaches recap in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations apps

• Preferred#1: CoC (PU9+)

• Preferred#2: Creating event handlers to respond to framework events, such as data events (can be seen from VS designer)

event handlers to respond to event delegates by the application.

Framework events -Tables, form data sources, form controls, and other element types that support extension events list the available events (and delegates) under an Events collection node.

• Preferred#3: Delegates

• Preferred#4: Pre/Post
  • If pre/post events needs to be used on a new table then one first has to overlayer the existing table methods and then in an extended model use the events handler.
  • New tables created as well as existing OOB tables may not have overridden base methods hence framework events are preferred.

• Preferred#5: plug-ins
