Visual Studio Integration Toolkit
Winthrop Development Consultants is proud to present the Visual Studio Integration Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics GP (VSIT).

Based on the product previously known as Menus for Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
 
 
Introduction
 
Visual Studio Integration Toolkit for Microsoft Dynamics GP (VSIT) is a Dexterity integrated software tool which contains an Application Programming Interface (API) that can be called from Visual Studio development system using Visual Basic or Visual C# development languages to integrate with functionality normally only available in Microsoft Dynamics GP via the Dexterity development environment, such as menu navigation and area pages. Build 15 adds a suite of over 260 helper functions.

Build 18 adds the Custom Forms module which allows Developers to create new Dexterity based custom forms. The custom forms are web client compatible and include all standard GP functionality. You can use these custom forms from Visual Studio Tools, Dexterity or GP Power Tools.

Form types available include:
  • Blank Forms
  • Dialog Forms (with 1, 2 or 3 buttons)
  • Setup Forms (with table)
  • Maintenance Forms (with table, matching Lookup, Inquiry form and report)
  • Maintenance Forms with Lines (with tables, matching Lookup, Inquiry form and report)
The toolkit is based on the product previously known as Menus for Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP. However, to maintain compatibility with existing installations and projects, file and object names have not been changed.

For hints and tricks see the Visual Studio Integration Toolkit Portal on the Winthrop Development Consultants blog.

Ordering Information
 
  • For customers, the standard functionality of the Visual Studio Integration Toolkit is offered free of charge, but does require registration (renewed automatically each year). This is David Musgrave's gift to the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community. All we ask is that customers stay on a supported version and that they keep the registration customer contact details valid.

    The Custom Forms module is advanced functionality and the price of an annual subscription for the module is US$100.

    Partners can register their customers for automatic registration (see below) or customers can register manually.

    For manual registration, just fill in the Contact Details from the Registration Window (under the Cards >> System menu or the Administration Area Page) and a free annual subscription will be automatically generated.

  • Partners can request Not for Resale (NFR) registration keys.
     
    Please sign up as a partner with Winthrop Development Consultants on the Partners page and you are automatically entitled to NFR registration keys for your in-house or demonstration systems.
     
    Or, for immediate access, you can enter your partner Contact Details manually and request to be converted to partner status later.

    Note: Partners must be using registration keys with their registered site name and not demo keys with Two, Inc. for NFR registration to work.

  • Partners can register their customers by using the Order form via the Partner Portal (once signed up) to have their customers automatically registered and for the customer to be associated with the partner company.

    If you need immediate access, you can also register the customer's Contact Details manually and then request the customer be associated to your partner company later.
