How to create a plugin in MS CRM 4 and deploy
In this tutorial we will be using MS Visual Studio 2013 to create a plugin using C# and deploy it to CRM 4. We want create a plugin which fires whenever a new letter is created.
First thing open Visual Studio 2013 and create a new project of type class library and select .Net Framework 3.
Add a new class and give it a name i.e. LetterCreateUpdateTestPlugin.cs
Then we need to add references to required SDK, in our case
microsoft.crm.sdk
microsoft.crm.sdktypeproxy
microsoft.xrm.client
You can find these dlls in SDk folder (you can download crm 4 sdk from MS website)
We also need to add a reference to
System.Web.Services
You can see full list of added references below
Now we need to add some code to our class
Next step is to add a signed assembly, to do this go to project properties, signing, tick the box ‘Sign the assembly’, select new, and give it a name
Now build the project and then deploy it to CRM server using CRM plugin registration tool (this can also be found in CRM SDK)
Once deployed you should be able to see your plugin working
