• Microsoft.Dynamics.Common.Types
• Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.BusinessLogic
• Microsoft.Dynamics.Common
• Microsoft.Dynamics.GP

to my project in Visual Studio,

Kindly suggest how I can do so.

Answer 1

First you need to add references to the libraries to your project. Right click the project name and select "Add Reference" or if the project shows a references folder right click that and choose to add. If the library doesn't show in the list then browse to where ever it is located and select it.

Then at the top of the file add a using command. For example: using Microsoft.Dynamics.Common;

Please feel free to post additional questions.

Answer 2

Either Download and install the SDK on your machine, It will include the dlls needed to integrate with dynamics or copy the dlls from where ever you have them. (make sure you get the correct version for GP). From there you should create a folder in your project to hold the files in one place and copy them there. Once you have the library files you add references to the files by going to the browse sections of the reference manager and then browsing to the where you copied the files. (Quick note. make sure that you set copy local to true so that it will include the files locally when running and not look for them in the GAC). Once referenced you should be able to access the namespaces and include them with using keyword as needed.

Answer 3

If in case you are not getting the required dlls even after installing SDK, then add required Nugets online in visual studio(and later). After that you can start using the keyword "using" in your VS project.
