Compile the add-ins

You use Microsoft Visual Studio to compile the add-ins and create an executable.

Before you begin

The source code for the add-ins is included in the project files that you downloaded from GitHub. The project files are in the social/cx/projects directory.

Procedure

  1. In Microsoft Visual Studio, select File > Open > Project/Soluton.
  2. Select the AcceleratorSRMSolution.sln file that you downloaded and saved in social/cx/projects, then click Open.
  3. Make sure that each add-in project contains a reference to the RightNow.AddIns.AddInViews.dll library for your site.
    For more information, see Desktop Add-Ins (.NET API) Developer Guide.
  4. Select Build > Configuration Manager.
  5. From the Active solution configuration pull-down menu, select Release.
  6. Click Close.
  7. Select Build > Build Solution to compile the add-ins.
    If the build process completes successfully, you will see Build succeeded in the status bar.
