Visual Studio Projects

There are various types of Visual Studio projects that can be used to interact with
Microsoft Dynamics AX. The use of the Application Explorer within Visual
Studio provides a strong Microsoft Dynamics AX developer experience, with
many familiar concepts.
Similar to development projects in Microsoft Dynamics AX, projects in Visual
Studio allow a developer to create a subset of elements, including those from the
AOT, to work with. All AOT elements added to a project in Visual Studio have
knowledge of their metadata in the Microsoft Dynamics AX AOT.

Types of Projects

There are three types of Visual Studio projects that can be used to develop
customizations for Microsoft Dynamics AX:

• Report modeling projects

• Enterprise Portal Web application projects

• Managed code projects

The Report modeling and Enterprise Portal Web application project types
have their own templates provided under the Microsoft Dynamics AX template
group. These topics are more thoroughly covered in the "Reporting in Microsoft
Dynamics AX 2012" and "MorphX and Enterprise Portal Development in
Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012" courses.
