Creating or editing a script with Visual Studio

The modes described in this topic apply to form scripts, but the main steps in the associated task topics apply equally to global scripts.

Note:  Before using these procedures, you must already have Visual Studio configured for your system.

When using Visual Studio for script writing and editing, you have two options for working with the scripts:

  • The interactive (Modeless) editing option allows you to move freely back and forth between the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and your application. Whatever you do in one environment can then be easily synchronized with the other.
  • The Modal editing option requires you to close the Visual Studio IDE and return to your application to see the results of your script editing. To do further editing in Visual Studio, then, you must open a new session.
