Dexterity, the programming language in which Dynamics GP is written, has come a long way for developers. About a decade ago, Visual Source Safe (VSS) was used as a Source Code Control (SCC) repository to help developers manage their programming code. As VSS became obsolete and was replaced by Team Foundation Server (TFS), the folks who manage Dexterity updated SCC to handle TFS as well.
But while Microsoft is on the cloud bandwagon, insisting the world is a better place if we would all just embrace the cloud, Dexterity has not yet been updated to handle Hosted TFS. Yes, Hosted TFS, part of Microsoft's Visual Studio, is a (wonderful) cloud-based solution for source code control. But due to a limitation of passing credentials, Dexterity doesn't yet support Hosted TFS.
What's a shame is that Rockton Software seems to be the only developer asking for it. Fortunately, because we have a Premier Support contract with Microsoft, they're listening. And hopefully, in the next few months, we might see some progress on this.
If you don't use Hosted TFS yet, I encourage you to check it out. It's awesome. And with the Microsoft Partner Program, it's also free.
