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 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.

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 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
