Inspect Form Control in Visual Studio 2022 from web browser

Posted on by CU27051243-1 4
On Early days I remember that this functionality was working, now a days it is not. 
 
When you working in onebox environemnt, as developer.
i.e. you open Released products details form (in web browser). Then press right mouse button on control (Form Information -> Control Name; InventTable_ItemId)
This button opens Visual Studio 2022 and should open Form design view and select control, but it does not working. 
 
  • In general browser opens this url: dynamics://Navigation/Form/EcoResProductDetailsExtended/Control/InventTable_ItemId
  • Then in registry editor Computer//HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT//dynamics we can see that it is calling: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Professional/Common7/IDE/Extensions/ah02evdc.5to/UrlProtocolHandler.17.0.exe %1
  • This UrlProtocolHandler.17.0.exe - opens Visual Studio. 
  • And here it should open form and select control. But it is not doing that. Something is missing here..
Any ideas?

    Hi,
     
    Are you using a local VM or Cloud Hosted Environment? Was this environment pre-installed with Visual Studio 2022 or did you add this version yourself?
    I'm currently not able to open an environment where VS2022 was pre-installed. I can confirm it works with VS2019, but it is not opening VS as administrator.

    • Local VM
    • VHD from LCS.
    • Visual studio 2022 was installed after. By default environments comes with VS2019
    • After VS2022 installation - i did devtools install. (same way we do service update only skipping AOS service part)
    • If you run WebBrowser As Admin I guess it should open VS in Administrator mode too.

    There are new VMs where Visual Studio 2022 is pre-installed. Can you try such an environment and check if it is working? Maybe the devtools are a bit different for VS2022.
