The release of Build 18 of Visual Studio Integration Toolkit fulfills a long-term plan to add advanced modules to the product that extend its functionality beyond the original menu navigation that was offered by its predecessor, Menus for Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP.
The last big jump in functionality happened with Build 15 when support for Area Pages was added to the Menus module, and over 260 Helper Functions exposing “Dexterity only” functionality to Visual Studio Tools developers was added to the Helpers module.
Build 18 adds an advanced Custom Forms module which allows Visual Studio Tools developers to create their own Dexterity custom windows. These custom forms have the advantage over WinForms as they will work on the Web Client and all other Microsoft Dynamics GP features.
