Stop waiting for site restarts. Start coding 10x faster.

Acumatica LiveSync is the essential Visual Studio extension for Acumatica developers who are tired of long build times and constant IIS restarts. By leveraging Acumatica's runtime compilation capabilities, this extension automates the workflow to sync your code instantly.

🚀 Key Features

• • 10x Faster Development Cycle: Compiles code instantly upon saving, removing the need for full site restarts for every small change.
• • Smart Synchronization: Automatically copies your project content into the application's runtime folder.
• • One-Click Setup: Seamless integration into the Visual Studio Solution Explorer.
• • Intelligent DLL Management: Automatically handles the removal of the original DLL from the bin folder to prevent type mismatches (requires a single initial restart).
• • Future Ready: Native support for Visual Studio 2022 and ready for Visual Studio 2026.

🛠️ How It Works

Traditionally, Acumatica development involves building the project, copying the DLL, and waiting for the AppDomain to recycle.

Acumatica LiveSync changes the game:

• • It links your Class Library project to a specific Acumatica Website instance.
• • It removes the compiled DLL from the website's /bin folder (triggering one necessary restart).
• • It sets up a file watcher. Every time you save a .cs file, it is instantly copied to the App_RuntimeCode folder (or equivalent).
• • Acumatica compiles the changes on the fly. No IIS restart required.

📖 Usage Guide

1 - Setup your Solution

• • Ensure your Class Library Project and your Acumatica Website are loaded in the same Visual Studio Solution.

###2 - Enable LiveSync

• • Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and select "Enable Acumatica LiveSync".

###3 - Target the Website

• • A dialog will appear. Select the desired Acumatica Website instance from your solution.

###4 - Code and Save

• • You are done! The extension will perform one initial cleanup (removing the DLL). From this point forward, simply save your files, and changes will reflect in your Acumatica instance immediately.

⚠️ Technical Note

The "One Restart" Rule: To ensure Acumatica uses the live code files instead of the compiled assembly, the extension must remove the project's artifact (DLL) from the website's bin folder. This action forces the site to restart once. After this initial sync, you can make unlimited code changes without further restarts.
