Microsoft Dynamics 365 Extensions Cookbook

Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a powerful tool. It has many unique features that empower organisations to bridge common business challenges and technology pitfalls that would usually hinder the adoption of a CRM solution. This book sets out to enable you to harness the power of Dynamics 365 and cater to your unique circumstances. We start this book with a no-code configuration chapter and explain the schema, fields, and forms modeling techniques. We then move on to server-side and client-side custom code extensions. Next, you will see how best to integrate Dynamics 365 in a DevOps pipeline to package and deploy your extensions to the various SDLC environments. This book also covers modern libraries and integration patterns that can be used with Dynamics 365 (Angular, 3 tiers, and many others). Finally, we end by highlighting some of the powerful extensions available. Throughout we explain a range of design patterns and techniques that can be used to enhance your code quality; the aim is that you will learn to write enterprise-scale quality code.

Preface

Deploying your customization using the plugin registration tool


Once you have a server-side extension implemented, you'll want to deploy it into your Dynamics 365 instance. The Plugin Registration Tool has been around since the early days of Dynamics CRM and is a great tool to master. It helps you deploy your .NET customization to your Dynamics 365 instances, and also helps register Azure Service Bus endpoint, enable profiling, and much more.

In this recipe, we will deploy the plugin implemented earlier in this chapter to a Dynamics 365 online instance using the plugin registration tool.

Getting ready

In order to deploy your server-side customization, you'll first need an existing assembly to deploy. We will leverage the one created in Creating your first plugin earlier in this chapter. This recipe will use the Plugin Registration Tool to register the plugin. The Plugin Registration Tool can be found in the Dynamics 365 SDK under Tools\PluginRegistration.
