Universal control add-in

As previously described, you can also write a NAV client control add-in that targets Windows and a web client.

To do this, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Create the control add-in with Visual Studio as previously described.

2. Sign the add-in assembly.

3. Create a manifest file for the add-in. The manifest file is an XML file that contains add-in information such as resource files, references to JavaScript files, the size of the add-in, and so on. The name of this file must be Manifest.xml.

4. Create a JavaScript file for the add-in code.

5. Create one single file containing the manifest and any resource files. This single file is a .zip file and it will be registered in the Client Add-in page. The .zip file must contain a certain structure for it to be recognized by the Client Add-in page.

6. Create a .zip file containing the manifest and resource files and register this file with the control add-in in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
