Hello,

Can i deserialize the Plugin Profile Xml file into IPluginExecutionContext Object?

This XML file is saved from the View Plugin Profile feature of the Plugin Registration Tool.

Because I want to use this data to debug the plugin.

So, I want to ask how to do it.

Thanks!

Can you use Plugin profilter with the visual studio for the debugging? Because it will be only way you can get details of all the various variables that are captured during execution time of plugin.

Hi Amit Katariya007,

Thanks for the reply, when I used the plugin registration tool to debug the plugin, I got an error saying that the type Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.PluginTelemetry.ILogger could not be loaded from assembly Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk

The error you’re seeing, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.PluginTelemetry.ILogger could not be loaded, typically occurs if the version of Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk you're using is out of sync with the one required by the Plugin Registration Tool or by the Dynamics 365 instance. This interface, ILogger, was introduced in newer versions of the SDK, and if you’re using an older version of Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, it won’t have this type.

Thanks to Amit Katariya007, it's really a version issue, after I updated to the latest version, the plugin debugging tool didn't report an error, but it would be better if I could deserialize the XML to the implementation of the IPluginExecutionContext object, so that I don't need to update the plugin DLL, I can modify the code and do unit tests directly

I am not sure with desealization you will get the context object.. because for testing also you need framework that can mimic D365. You can use FakeXrm for it. But here also you will have to setup test tables and data manually.
