Hello,

You can explore this Microsoft.Powerplatform.Cds.Client. I don't think we can use this for plugin development.

Hi Pankaj,

I have gone through your reference Link but the following notice has been written in Package:

1. This package is an ALPHA release. - Use it at your own risk.

2. This package is intended to work with .net full framework 4.6.2, 4.7.2 and 4.8, .net core 3.0 and 3.1

3. We have not stabilized on NameSpace or Class names with this package as of yet and things will change as we move though the preview.

If I want to migrate my existing Console App from .Net Framework to .Net Core then we have to wait for Stage Public release with Full Documentation. What is you opinion in this Case?

Hi Amit,

I tried to build plugin using .Net Core, but my function was not able to be loaded by registration tool.

After changing to .Net Framework, then it worked.

Therefore, I think we should still use .Net Framework to create plugin.

Regards,

Clofly

Hello Amit,

As Clofly said, we cannot use the dotnet core for plugins because it not supported at this time.

Also, If you don't want to take any risks, you can use github.com/.../Xrm.Tools.CRMWebAPI for your dotnet core application. I am using this for more than a year without any issues.

If you still want to wait for Microsoft's official documentation for "Microsoft.Powerplatform.Cds.Client" you can wait for it.

Hi,

1. This package is an ALPHA release. - Use it at your own risk.

2. This package is intended to work with .net full framework 4.6.2, 4.7.2 and 4.8, .net core 3.0 and 3.1

3. We have not stabilized on NameSpace or Class names with this package as of yet and things will change as we move though the preview.

Yes this package is still an Alpha release (Preview version) and not intended for production use. So you should wait for till it is available GA. We have used this in our project and it still has some bugs and not tested fully.

You should always use .net framework for plugin code and it is preferred way to do and recommended by mcirosoft as well.

In case you want to explore Console application using .Net core package. Check my blog below.

Agree. It's a pre-release. You can explore and play around with it and can report any issues. Better to wait.
