Hi kavita,

You can User Plugin Registration Tool's Unsecure Config Parameters to pass your URL from external which you can capture inside the plugin and which can be used for differentiating your three different environments.

This is what we are doing already , but every time there is change to plugin , we register it on dev and then import this solution to qa and eventually to production. Now the problem is , if I forget to change url in dev n production (this is also repetitive work) , it will point wrong database

Hi Kavita,

How about keeping these information over web resource and read web resource in your plugin.

you can have use one custom entity (eg. Plugin Parameter) with URL field that you will read in your plugin , not only URL parameter but also you can add more parameter as per your wish. This approach has following benefits.

1) You have the control to change the Parameter value post deployment with minimal efforts.

2) Customization is one time effort in across all environments.

3) you can add remove Parameter as per your choice.

I want to know the organization url , so that I can decide which DB to connect. What you have proposed is getting url after connection to DB.

Hi Kavita,

You may be able to create a webservice to get Organization url. So in the web.config for the web service you can put different urls for organisation service based on environments. And in your code based the url (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri) you can decide whether you are on which environment. then you can find out the url from the web.config based on the url.

Otherwise you can hard code the url based on the current page's url

if(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.contain("live")

{

url="liveurl";

}

else if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.contains("Dev")

{

url="devurl";

}

Please note, I haven't tried the above idea.

thanks

Anil

This would work , but I'm working with CRM2011 onpremise , and it throws "SecurityException : The assembly does not allow partially trusted callers" for HttpContext .

I'm completely stuck.

The issue is that the plug-in is being deployed to the Sandbox. Since the plug-in is in the Sandbox, it is running as a partially trusted caller.

Refer the following thread:
