It's been looong time so I dont remember everything. But all addins need an entry in <addins> section on dynamics.exe.config file on the GP folder. Just do little bit of research on that.

hmm...Im not sure if its mandatory but I remember I tried all these when I initially explored it. If you open the config file in XML Notepad 2007(download it), you can view the comments/sections in the file clearly. There are 2 sections for Dynamics and Dynamicsweb. You may want to try to add under both. Also did you sign the DLL with a Strong Key and copied into the root / addins folder.

Also try copying the DLLs into the root folder. I did many trial and error to make it work.

I dont recall everything I tried. May be someone else who has working webclient with custom DLL can shed some light.

Hi

did you ever fix this. I'm having the same issue.

I can display message boxes. So the DLL is being called.

I can actually call a public function in the form and the message will be displayed.

But I cannot get the form to display

I'm using GP2020

Visual Studio winforms don't work on the web client.

Neither does VBA Userforms.

Only Dexterity forms work.

That will not be changing.

I am working on a solution to be added to the Visual Studio Integration Toolkit.

Regards

David

There is a whole section about rendering winforms in the web client in the programmers guide
