Hi All,

We have requirement to use third party DLL for SMS Sending from Our PLUGIN.

We added reference of third party DLL in plugin and register it in DATABASE with Isolation Mode - NONE.

What ever the third party DLL that we have put on <MS CRM>\server\bin\assembly folder.

But it is still giving error.

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]:

Lead--Update--SMS-Plugin : Could not load file or assembly 'YBL.TSG.SMS_DLL, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=73c9e516374da00c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.Detail

Hi jayesh,

For using SMS DLL into your plugin code ,you need to merge this with plugin DLL.

For merge DLL , please check below article

Agreed I would register the dll in the GAC but ilmerge is an option here also.

Can you please explain how to do this.

We have 2 DLL in plugin reference.

1] Plugin DLL

2] SMS DLL

How can I register both in GAC. When I am registering plugin DLL in GAC then its giving error like .

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: Unable to load plug-in assembly.

You need the Gacutil application on your server (from visual studio), the dlls should be in the same folder as the application.

The links below should point you in the right direction

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ex0ss12c(v=vs.110).aspx

http://jussionsharepoint.com/using-global-assembly-cache-tool-gacutil-exe-effectively/

Navigate to that folder running console. (I have created a bat file that I run that has the code below)

gacutil /u DocumentFormat.OpenXml
gacutil /i DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll

Hope this helps

I would suggest to use a service (WCF) instead of accessing the third party dlls directly in the plugin/il merge/gac..

This way, the solution is loosely coupled, expendable.. You dont need to disturb your crm if you have to change your third party sms vendor, you dont need to bother if you are moving to CRM Online.. It might be additional work now, but that makes a clean solution ..
