Add a Custom Part to a Parts Project

Tip: Sometimes part types are referred to as parts. But parts are instances of part types. Custom parts are actually custom part types. You can create a part based on a custom part (type).

Note: These steps require Visual Studio and the Infinity SDK. For more information about how to create a developer environment, see Development Environment. These steps also require a Parts project. For information about how to create a Parts project, see Projects for Custom Parts.

  1. Open the Parts project.

    Note: Subsequent tasks may require Administrator rights to folders on your developer machine. If you do not have Administrator rights enabled by default, you may have to run Visual Studio as an Administrator.

  2. From Solution Explorer, right-click the project and select Add > New Item. The Add New Item screen appears.

  3. Select Visual Basic > Blackbaud AppFx CMS > Part.

  4. Change the name.

  5. Click Add. The part is added to the project.

  6. Save the project.
