Building an application with VS 2022 fails when attempting to add Dynamics GP form.

I have run into the same issue as described in this forum discussion when using VS 2022.

https://community.dynamics.com/gp/f/microsoft-dynamics-gp-forum/450713/microsoft-dexterity-shell-dexuiform

When trying to add a Dynamics GP Form I get

“The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: DynamicsGPForm1—The base class ‘Microsoft.Dexterity.Shell.DexUIForm’ could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built.”

This was using VS 2022. If I take the same project and load it using VS 2019 I can add the form with no issues.

Is there a way to add a Dynamics GP form using the extensions for VS 2022?

    This is a change where Visual Studio changed in 2022 from being 32bit application to a 64bit application.

    You can make a AnyCPU build target in visual studio for when you need to edit forms, then switch back to 32bit for debug and final build.

    Details in this blog post...

    There is a new switch in latest releases of Visual Studio. I've not tested with GP yet, but will update the blog post when I have done so.
