Question : How to expose MS Dynamics GP fields into VS Project

I am going to start to develop some VS 2008 projects around MS Dynamics GP 10. Using the Sales Transaction Entry screen (SOP_Entry) how would I pass the value of SOPNUMBE back to my VS project? In may case I have custom software that handles quotes. In my database I have records that tie quotes to orders. I want to expose my quote data to users inside GP w/o having to be in the quote program. So If can grab the value of the order number, I can them pull up information related to the quote from which the order was generated.

Answer : How to expose MS Dynamics GP fields into VS Project

Hi,

If you need a VS windows app to retrieve a value of an open GP window, or even an open data set, you can use Visual Studio Tools for Dynamics GP.

However, VSTools is licensed separately the Dynamics GP Developer's Toolkit, so you would have to have purchased the Developer's Toolkit license to use this method.

Let me know if you have the toolkit license and I can help you with the code to do what you need.
