How to: Register a Windows Client Control Add-in

A Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client control add-in is delivered as a Microsoft .NET Framework–based assembly, which is a .dll file. An assembly for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows 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 development environment 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. [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 Windows 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 Windows Client Control Add-in and Strong-Named Signing.
