Visual Studio Tools for Dynamics GP lessons from Mariano

Getting started with Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP -- Adventures of a Microsoft Dexterity developer
http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/07/getting-started-with-visual-studio.html
For the longest time I had been trapped in my own Microsoft Dexterity development shell and could not see why anyone would want to integrate to Dynamics GP with anything that is not Dexterity -- I am not referring to simple customizations here! After all, Dexterity is (and will continue being for years to come!) the native development environment of Dynamics GP. So, the next obvious question in my mind was, why couldn't .NET developers learn Dexterity? After all, we were here first! But, then I decided to spin the question around, why couldn't Dexterity developers learn .NET? Now, that's a challenge I like!!
In the next 2 weeks I will publish a set of articles showing Dexterity developers that it is possible to make a relatively smooth transition to .NET development with Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP -- by far, the longest name for any Microsoft product, so we will shorten that to VST.
The similarities
What you will find as a Microsoft Dexterity developer transitioning to VST is that you can do a lot of the things you are able to do when building integrating applications: an integrating application can access the forms, windows, window fields, tables, and table fields in each dictionary. They can also access global variables, commands, procedures, and functions defined in each dictionary. So from a Dexterity developer's perspective you will be able to write the equivalent of triggers -- known as event registrations in VST -- on any resource in GP's dictionary or a third party…

Visual Studio Tools LineFill Events
http://blogs.msdn.com/developingfordynamicsgp/archive/2008/10/03/visual-studio-tools-linefill-event.aspx
Developers using Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP with forms that contain scrolling windows might have noticed that the LineFill events are missing from v9.0 and v10.0, this posting explains why they were missing and why they have been added back.
How Dexterity works
Dexterity can display multiple records from a table at one time using a scrolling window. Scrolling windows are used in lookup windows and many enquiry windows in BrowseOnly mode and also in transaction windows which have lines or distributions in AddsAllowed mode.
Scrolling windows have six events associated with them, these are the LinePre, LineChange, LinePost, LineFill, LineDelete and LineInsert events. Dexterity can register triggers before and after the original scripts of these six events. In Visual Studio Tools, we have the LineEnter, LineChange, LineLeave, LineDelete and LineInsert events that we can select to run BeforeOriginal or AfterOriginal, but there are no LineFill events.
Where did the LineFill events go?
To understand why the LineFill events were not included, you need understand how the…
Visual Studio Tools Integration with GP Security
http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2009/09/visual-studio-tools-integration-with-gp.html
After reading many blog posts, TK articles, forum threads, and the like I pieced together from many sources how to build Visual Studio Toolkit forms that integrate with Dynamics GP security so you don't have to hard code a connection string or any environment specific settings in your application or .config file.
You'll need to get the GP Connection Library (GPConn.dll) from GP Support. You have to license the GP Connection object and obtain the keys. This will enable you to get around the VS Toolkit only exposing the unencrypted password. Once you have…

Avoid some GP Form Modifications with VSTools
http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2009/09/avoid-some-gp-form-modifications-with.html
I've been doing a lot of work with Visual Studio Tools lately and find myself migrating more towards that from VBA. VSTools is not a replacement for VBA but in some cases can prove to be a more effective tool.
Modifying a Form in GP is often a simple thing to do with few repercussions if planned and executed properly. One drawback to a form modification is that you have to upgrade the modified forms even when applying service packs. This makes the service pack application and upgrade processes slightly more cumbersome. Not a big deal but another step in the process that in some instances you might be able to…
