How do I configure GP 2013 Web Client to load modified forms dll

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by AnnabelH 330

I have a customisation done in VS2012 using C# accessing fields on a modified form. The form was modified using Modifier in GP2013. I added the Dynamics.exe.config reference to my assembly.

However the code is not running in the web client. It works in the full client.

Do I need to add a reference to the Application.Dynamics.ModifiedForms.dll in Dynamics.exe.config? What is the syntax for this?

How do I get a VS Tools addon to run on a modified form in the Web Client?

    Nenadl,

    It makes searching for and finding answers difficult when there are new Questions asked by the not-original poster.  The original poster & I did respond back as you were having similar issues (with the solution) but really you should have asked your own question in a new thread to not complicate the solution in this post.

    But as you now have an entirely new question, this is best asked & answered in a new question and not this one.

    ANNABELH &  PATRICK,

    Sorry I took so long to reply. Because i tried these in many times but its not working.

    My full process:

    I have created a new project in GP2013 VSTools. My project name is "vendorTemplate", class name is default "AddIns" and the dll name is "vendorTemplate.dll". In this project i have added a menu "vendorTemplate" in Additional menu of vendor maintenance form using AddMenuHandler() function. Once click this "vendorTemplate" menu the new window will open. That window is created myself in this project.

    Now the problem is, In web client once i click that menu the window is not opening. But the project is working fine in client side.

    I have added below line in Dynamics.exe.config within three sections(dynamics, dynutils and DynamicsGPWeb).

    <addin name="vendorTemplate" type="vendorTemplate.GPAddIn,vendorTemplate"/>.

    What is the problem? If i missed any one please help me.

    There is a word document in the SDK installation folder that gives you a hint to the dynamics.exe.config. Took me a while to notice it even though it is called "Readme".

    Basically I created my assembly with the name of <mycompany>.<myteam>.<formtomodify> so that would come out like CompanyA.TeamA.VendorMaintenance.dll when compiled. The class that is generated is the GPAddIn default.

    So you need to add this dll to the main GP folder and not the addin folder.

    I took a copy of the dynamics.exe.config file to a separate folder so I could keep copies for version control. Also it doesn't like you editing it in place. Once there open it with notepad or notepad++. If you want the addin to work in both full and web client you need to add the <addin /> tag in both the <Dynamics> tag at the bottom of this file and the <DynamicsGPWeb> tag. Note that the end tags for these Dynamics ones are way at the end of the block of text for the Dynamics main files. I just moved the end tag to its own line and added mine above it.

    So for my above example the tag to add in BOTH places is:

    <addin name="CompanyA.TeamA.VendorMaintenance" type=''CompanyA.TeamA.VendorMaintenance.GPAddIn,CompanyA.TeamA.VendorMaintenance"/>

    The name bit at the front is whatever you want it to be. I used the assembly name for my just to keep it unique. The first bit of the type is the fully qualified name including class. The second bit after the comma is the assembly name without the dll file extension.

    Hope that helps. Sorry I took so long to reply.

    Soma,

    The name can be whatever you like as long as it is unique.

    As for the Type, a comment in the dynamics.exe.config file gives guidance on what that should look like right in the config file itself.

    And of course there are existing lines for the ones that Microsoft puts into the file.  Of course the MS ones also have information about version, publisher info, etc.  But you really only need to tell it the class name of your addin and then the file name itself.

    I don't have 2013 on this machine and so cannot pull up my entry in the config file itself.

    But knowing the above and using the GP lines as guidance, you should have the info necessary.

    Just note the warnings I added as well as Typo's and capitalizaton (as was my problem) and it should work fine.

    ANNABELH &  PATRICK,

    Please guide me the sample addins line you added in Dynamics.exe.config file.

    eg.

    <Dynamics>      

       <addin name=" " type='' "/>

    </Dynamics>

    Thanks

    Soma
