Posted on by amandeepsin

Hello All,

I am quite new to F&O and want to know how F&O connects to Visual Studio so that I can develop F&O using X++. Actually, dynamics F&O is not showing for me at all on visual studio and then I check a vedio in which user say to download and extract service update for F&O and then I can see extension for F&O.

But I still can't understand, when I build project where it will get deployed to? I mean I am not giving any destination to VS how it going to select my envirnoment whether it is production or UAT

Any help is appreciated and if I am not making my self clear as I am relatively new to F&O please do let me know I will try to elaborate more

Hi Amandeep, In addition to above suggestions, as you mentioned you are new to F&O, go through this video, it will clarify some of your queries and will give you a bit wider view of how development is done in D365 F&O

Hi Amandeepsin,

To add to Maks's reply.

Your projects are used to build your customized objects, and these objects are bundles up into a deployable package.

You can create the package in 2 ways.

1. Using a build environment:

learn.microsoft.com/.../create-apply-deployable-package

2. Using Microsoft build Agent and Azure Pipeline

dynamics.folio3.com/.../

The package created is then applied to the UAT and Production environment using LCS.

learn.microsoft.com/.../apply-deployable-package-system

Hi Amandeepsin,

You need to deploy a one-box development environment that is available through lcs - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/dev-tools/access-instances

In that environment you have a fully working development instance already connected to Visual Studio. Deployment to UAT performed by building a package and then applying it via LCS - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/deployment/create-apply-deployable-package

Deployment to production is done via LCS as well and only of the packages already applied to UAT.
