Retail POS SDK: Am I allowed to develop in this?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello, sorry if this is a silly question as I am fairly new to this as I stepped away from this for a while.  The desire this time is to really take the time and effort to understand how to develop in the Retail POS.

I have the successfully installed the AX 2012 R3 demo.  I can see that the Retail POS SDK is in the "Documents" folder.  When I open, for example the Services solution in Visual Studio, I cannot build because it is missing a lot of references like LSRetailPosis, POSControls, DevExpress (this I can understand as I'd need to purchase this).  I could have sworn that it worked in the R2 demo but i cannot remember anymore.

Anyhow..Is this on purpose because it is a demo VM? Is there any way i can build the solution and debug (i've found some posts on that) so i can see the code flow through?

thanks for the help!

    Hi,

    I cannot tell you if the POS development worked in the AX 2012 R2 machine or not. Neither I know if it is intended or not.

    But I can tell you that version the demo machine is slightly different. For a good development environment it would be best to setup your own machines.

    Thanks Andre,

    i couldn't remember what environment i was working on .

    Perhaps i was working on a VM that was built and not the demo VM.

    I guess I was foolish to think that I could get the latest demo VM and start with it.

    Thanks again!

    I have faced the same issue with VS 2010, with VS 2012 or latest the issue will go.

    Otherwise we have to resolve this issue manully by adding reference of dlls.
