    Hello,

    I suggest for your scenario to consider to use a Portal - so that you don't burn CRM licenses for new users.

    Please check docs.microsoft.com/.../administer-manage-portal-dynamics-365

    Radu

    Hi Radu

    I am very thankful for your kind reply.

    Actually My E-Commerece Portal is already online and working with CRM 2011 On-Premise. Now we only have to replace the backend with API that will smoothly communicate with Dynamics 365 CRM Online v9.

    Thanks

    If your portal already uses the CRM 2011 SOAP endpoint using the CRM SDK assemblies (Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll and Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Proxy.dll), then you may only need minimal code changes. The changes you'd need to make are:

    • Use the v9.x versions of the above assemblies
    • Compile your application to use .Net 4.6.2 or higher
    • If you currently use .Net credentials using e.g. DefaultNetworkCredentials, you'll need to instead pass a Credential with a UserName and Password

    Hi Amin,

    It looks like you already have a working system with all the features you need but you want to move Web Site to CRM communication into a nice clean API / Gateway layer.

    Microsoft recommends to use Web Api for any new projects as the CRM WCF services will be deprecated and replaced by the Web API in the future.  However, moving to Web Api will be a lot of change to your existing code and learning curve will have to be considered as well.

    Like David suggested, to keep the changes minimal, you could upgrade your assemblies and get it working. Since most of the Dynamics CRM integrations around the world were built using WCF based Org Service, Microsoft will do the heavy lifting and allow us to keep usign Org service but behind the scene it would be repalced by Web API, I am sure there will be some limitations or changes but that would be minimal .

    When you move the CRM code into API, you could create that as a proper REST service in case if you wil be integrating with more devices and clients in the future.

    Hope this helps

    Dear All

    Many many thanks to Radu,David and Kokulan. @David and @Kokulan do you have the sample code to just authentication the V9 Web API for user registration, login and crud operations. I will be very thankful to you guys for this.

    Look forward for your kind reply.

    Thanks

    Hi Amin

    My first question would be are you sure you want to use web api or you want to stick to Org Service that your web site uses at the moment?  I am asking this because you will have to re-write almost all of your queries and helper codes to work with Web API. But if you stick to Org Service you only have to update the SDK assemblies, your code does not change much but you will more chance to refactor your code. So the choice is yours really.

    If you definitely want to go for Web Api approach and if you plenty of time to re-write the queries and helpers, please see the following

    Have a quick read of this link to see the difference between the options you have :

    community.dynamics.com/.../authentication-in-dynamics-365-web-api-and-difference-between-microsoft-dynamics-365-web-api-organization-service-and-organization-data-service

    docs.microsoft.com/.../authenticate-web-api

    When you build your queries you can use the REST builder and POSTMAN

    Dear Kokulan

    Firstly I am very thankful to your kind help and reply.

    Actually, My team do not want stick on Org Service, as This Org Serive will be deprectaed in coming version and no more supported. Therefor we want to work on WEB API.

    Please guide me futher if I am on right direction.

    Look forward for your kind reply.

    Hi Amin,

    Microsoft will update the SDK assemblies to use Web Api instead of the WCF service.  Please see below

     

    "The SDK assemblies will eventually be migrated to internally use the Web API instead of the 2011 SOAP endpoint. When this happens, any code written using the SDK assemblies will continue to be supported as it will automatically transfer from the 2011 SOAP endpoint to use the Web API. This update will be fully transparent to you; additional details will be published in future SDK releases. More information: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 endpoint"

    ScreenClip-_5B00_216_5D00_.png

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/choose-development-style 

    What this means is you dont need to change your current code to Web API, which is a lot of re-write. That's why Microsoft will do the heavy lifting for us. 

    You can explain to your team, SDK Assembly Organization Service classes are not going to be deprecated, Its the WCF end point will be deprecated in the future. The SDK assemblies will continue to work and they will use Web API/ OData end point instead of WCF. This change will be made by Microsoft.

    But if you guys ready to spend time and money on this to definitely go for Web API and re-write your code, please see the following
