Our first step will usually be creating a Finance and Operations project. Once it’s created we right-click on the solution and select “Add new project”. Then we select a Visual C# Class Library project:
C# project in Dynamics 365
Now we should have a solution with a FnO Project and a C# project (right image).
To demo this I’ll create a class called Calculator with a single method that accepts two decimal values as parameters and returns it’s sum. An add method.
public class Calculator
{
public decimal Add(decimal a, decimal b)
{
return a + b;
}
}
Now compile the C# project alone, not the whole solution. This will create the DLL in the bin folder of the project. We have to do this before adding the C# project as a reference to the FnO project.
Right click on the References node of the FnO project and select “Add Reference…”:
Add reference to FnO project
A window will open and you should see the C# project in the “Projects” tab:
Add C# project reference to FnO project
Select it and click the Ok button. That will add the C# project as a reference to our FnO project, but we still need to do something or this won’t compile in our pipeline. We have to manually add the reference to the project that has been created in the AOT. So, right-click on the reference and select “Add to source control”:
Add the reference to source control
In the FnO project add a Runnable Class, we’ll call the C# library there:
using AASBuildNetDemoLibrary;
class AASBuildNetTest
{
public static void main(Args _args)
{
var calc = new Calculator();
calc.Add(4, 5);
}
}
Add the solution to source control if you haven’t, make sure all the objects are also added and check it in.
