Plugin for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0

Are you facing problems in registering plug-ins? Are you wondering if you could get a tool to generate the Xml and deploy plug-ins via Import / Export just like the way customizations are deployed? Are you confused with the various tools that shipped with SDK and how to use the registration API? If the answer is yes, then it is worth downlaoding the released project.

Do you need sample plugins then it is a good source for them

PluginRegistration tool is enhanced version of the tool that is published with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 SDK. Look at the Downloads tab to get more information on the feature set.

Walkthrough, ReadMe are included in the zip file

Sample Plugins are available for download from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/crmpluginsamples

Developer Scenario: An ISV creates a plug-in and registers it on Contact Create as PreCallout (Aka BeforeMainOperation Plug-in). He can then debug the plug-in by registering on Disk. Once the errors are fixed, he can then update the pluginassembly to be uploaded to the database.
Deployment Scenario: An ISV builds few plug-ins and registers on multiples steps. Images are registered on few of them. He tests them in the Dev environment but would like to port the registrations to a different organization. PluginRegistration tool supports Export and Import of the solution xml to solve this scenario.
Admin Console: Couple of ISV installs their plug-ins on a Customer Organization. Admin at the Customer side saw some problems with “Contact Create” action. He would like to know what plug-in are fired and what the pipeline is for the “Contact – Create”. He then finds the trouble causing plug-in and disables it. So it is all about troubleshooting. PluginRegistration tool solves this problem by allowing Enable/Disable/Unregister operations on steps, plug-in.

Complete feature-set of the tool

Register a pluginassembly, step and image. Validates the data before sending to CRM
Update pluginassembly, step and image
Unregister a pluginassembly shall cascade unregister all the children
Enable, Disable a step

Work with multiple organizations at the same time
Exports the Xml in the same format that can be accepted by PluginDeveloper tool

Works with https:// or SSL based Installs. (SDK calls)
- I Accept all Server Certificates. If you need to change the code look in the CrmConnection.myCertificateValidation implementation
Shows the Endpoints returned by the Discovery service before making call to CrmService SDK
- This allows you to change the endpoint from the client if Discovery service information is not correct for registering plugins. This usually is needed for IFD or for troubleshooting purposes
Images for Parent and Subordinate entitities for Merge request
- Now you can register an Image for Subordinate entity also for Merge request. You shall get a pop-up that asks if you need to register for Subordinate or parent
