    Hi,

    We have a tool called CRMSvcUtil in dynamics CRM SDK. This helps you to create early bound classes. Please refer the links below on how to create and use early bound classes using this tool.

    Hi vijaycrm,

    Download the Dynamics CRM 365 SDK.  In the SDK/Bin folder you'll find the CrmSvcUtil.exe which can be used to generate the early bound classes.

    CrmSvcUtil.exe /url:https://<crminstancename>.api.crm6.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc /out:c:/Entities.cs /username:username@org.onmicrosoft.com /password:password /namespace:Dyn365Apps.Entities​

    The issue with above command is it generates classes for all the entities.  The Entities.cs file will be about 15-20MBs.

    If you want to filter the entities you would also need the CRMSvcUtilExtensions.dll

    https://www.nuget.org/packages/CRMSvcUtilExtensions/

    To generate filtered set of classes for Entities you can use below code and a xml file called filter.xml.

    filter.xml

    <filter>
      <entities>
        <entity>contact</entity>
        <entity>incident</entity>
        <entity>incidentresolution</entity>
        <entity>annotation</entity>
        <entity>systemuser</entity>
        <entity>systemuserroles</entity>
        <entity>role</entity>
        <entity>opportunity</entity>
        <entity>workflow</entity>
        <entity>processstage</entity>
      </entities>
    </filter>

    The command

    CrmSvcUtil.exe /out:Dyn365Apps_Xrm_Classes.cs /namespace:"Dyn365Apps.Xrm" /serviceContextName:XrmServiceContext /codewriterfilter:"Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Samples.BasicFilteringService, CrmSvcUtilExtensions" /url:https://<crminstancename>.api.crm6.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc /u:username@org.onmicrosoft.com /p:password

    This will generate classes only for entities you need.
