Hi,
I am new to NAV development. I want to add a control, like a browser control to certain pages. Is there a built in browser control or anything like a "web part" in the Role Tailored client?
How about being able to add a flash or Silverlight object?
thanks for your help
David

Hi David,
there is no built in Web Browser control in RoleTailored client.
But starting with SP1 we have the concept of client extensibility - namely Control Add-ins - which can be used to add custom controls.
If you want to host fancy visualization controls, why go Flash or Silverlight - especially if the data come from Dynamics NAV anyways. In this case you could write a WPF control instead of a Silverlight control (you might be able to use nearly identical XAML and very similar C# code for both) and host that directly in the RoleTailored client. With data delivered through the standard client-server connetion (depending on your scenarion you probably combine it with server side data aggregation code).
If you want to host existing WEB content (like a street map), that might even utilizes Silverlight or Flash, then you would indeed host a Web Browser as an Add-In control.
Look at the following Blogs for inspirations on the topic of Add-Ins for the Dynamics NAV RoleTailored client:

Soon there will be also related Add-In code samples available on MSDN.
Hope this helps
