Hello!!! I was able to create customized form using Visual Studio. Thanks to Mariano. For my .Net project I am using thirdparty controls like Grid, Textbox etc called devExpress.com, but I am not able to add it in Dynamics GP templates. When I try to add it throw error called- "Athe assembly reference "devExpress.Data.v13.1" could not be added to the project. This Wizard will continue to run but the resulting project may not build properly". FYI- I am using Visaul Studio 2010 and GP 2010. How can I used thirdparty controls in my Projects. Expert any advice? Thanks SandipAnonymous

VS Tools for GP Database Trigger to create or re-create same from Dex -Trigger_RegisterByDatabaseName() How can we do this in VS Tools for GP? I'm upgrading some old Dex code that has this trigger and I want to move all events over to .Net. I tried to expand the ISV code to the table and similarily create a local much like I would for a Form or Window trigger. I don't see how, at this time, that I can create VS Tools triggers on tables in a third party or DynGP dictionary. Thoughts?Anonymous

Rick, Unfortuantely that didn't happen for GP 2010/2013. Not sure what will happen for GP14 (next release). In order to do this, you'd have to add the Continuum db triggers for this piece. Which is a drag.Anonymous
