A RoleTailored client control add-in is delivered as a Microsoft .NET Framework–based assembly, which is a .dll file. An assembly for RoleTailored client add-ins can contain more than one control add-in where each control add-in has a unique name. Before you can use a control add-in on pages, you use the Classic client to register it in the Client Add-in table of your Microsoft Dynamics NAV database.

To register a control add-in, provide the following information:

Information Description

Control add-in name

The name is defined in the assembly's source code by the Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.ControlAddInExportAttribute attribute value for control add-in class definition, as shown in the following example code snippet:

  CopyCode imageCopy Code 
[ControlAddInExport("MyCompany.MyProduct.FieldPopupAddin")]
public class MyFieldPopupAddin : StringControlAddInBase, IStringControlAddInDefinition

In this example, the control add-in name is MyCompany.MyProduct.FieldPopupAddin. For more information, see How to: Create a RoleTailored Client Control Add-in.

Public key token

The public key token is a 16-character key that is given to the assembly when it is built and signed in Microsoft Visual Studio. To determine the public token key, run the Microsoft .NET Strong Name Utility (sn.exe) on the assembly. For more information, see How to: Determine the Public Key Token of the RoleTailored Client Control Add-in and Strong-Named Signing.

To register a RoleTailored client control add-in

  1. Open the Classic client.

  2. On the Tools menu, click Object Designer.

  3. Click Tables, and then locate the table with ID 2000000069 and name Client Add-in.

  4. Click the table, and then click Run.

  5. On a blank line in the Client Add-in table, fill in the Control Add-In Name and Public Key Token fields.
