CRM 2016 Early Binding Casing Issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have used the CrmServiceUtil to generate Early Binding Classes and I see that the generated class names casing doesn't match with the name of the custom entities that are defined in CRM.

Any way that I could tell the ServiceUtil to use the same casing as they are defined in CRM while generating the early bind classes?

For example, in CRM I have a custom entity name as org_name_history and the early binding class name is generated as org_Name_History

    The casing that is used by default is the schema name.  This name is only visible when creating the entity.  After that the logical name is displayed, which is always let case.

    If you wanted to make everything lower case you'd have to extend the CrmSvcUtil to use a custom naming service that lowercases all of the names.

    I would recommend this though because IMHO camel casing is more readable.

    new_mycustomtypehaseggonface

    Vs

    new_MyCustomTypeHasEggOnFace.

    Also having the camel casing allows you to type just the capitals and autocomplete will attempt to figure it out for you.
