[<CommonParameters>] Description
Add-ins must be registered in table 2000000069 Add-ins before they can be used in a Business Central client or on the Business Central Server instance. The New-NAVAddin cmdlet creates an entry for the add-in in the table.
An add-in typically consists of one or more .NET Framework assemblies and support files. These files must be installed either on the computer running the Business Central Server or client. Instead of manually installing the add-in files, you can use the -ResourceFile parameter of the cmdlet to set up the system to automatically deploy the add-in the first time that it is requested. To do this, before you run the New-NAVAddin cmdlet, create a compressed (.zip type) file that contains the files (in the desired folder structure) that are associated with the add-in.
For an add-in to be deployed automatically, it must have the same name as the assembly that contains it.
Examples
EXAMPLE 1
New-NAVAddIn -ServerInstance BC -Category dotnetcontroladdin -PublicKeyToken 31bf3856ad364e35 -ResourceFile 'c:\addins\MyNavAddin.zip'This example registers an add-in of the DotNet Control Add-in category in the system table 2000000069 Add-ins. The example also uploads the add-in files that are contained in the MyNavAddin.zip file that is located in the folder path c:\addin.
