So I would like to learn how to make my own Visual Studio add-ons for D365FO, but I do not seem to be able to find any documentaion on how to do that.
Does anyone have some usefull links about the subject?
Hello,
There is not much documentation about that. The best way to accomplish it is to take a look at other created projects.
Here you have a link to a simple add-in I made few months ago:
github.com/.../iD365FOntTools
Yes it seems looking at other peoples projects might be the only way to do it.
So thanks for the link to your tool, I will spend some time looking at it, and other addins and hope that will help me make my own, and perhaps also document my progress to share with the comunity.
Yes Martin that is what I am looking for.
Yes I was afraid it was another undocumented area of D365FO, but I was hoping that it was just my googlefu that was not powerfull enough :-)
And yes I have also found some existing code, so I will just have to do it the hard way.
"add-ons for D365FO" could be generic VS add-ons too, if they're usable with F&O, but I guess you mean the special project type "Finance and Operations Developer Tools Addin". Is that correct?
You can find resources about add-on development for Visual Studio (which gives you some useful information), but I doubt you'll find much specific to F&O. There definitely was no documentation when I looked a few years back.
What can help you a lot is reading code of already existing add-ons. Some are open sourced, some can be decompiled to source code.
