HI,

we have recently got upgraded to VS 2017 from 2015. So, I went through internet to find out developer toolkit for VS 2017. I found Jason Lattimer's CRM Developer Extensions which can support VS 2017 and installed it as per the instructions. I was able to get the CRM project templates in VS 2017 but I am not getting prompted to connect to my CRM server which I am used to in previous VS versions. I can't find "CRM Explorer" either. Can somebody please guide me through this? I did some google and found suggestions to update the solution in notepad with some GlobalSection to modify the CRMSolutionProperties. That didn't work obviously.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Roxanna,

You can install Microsoft Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit to Visual Studio 2017, and then you will find the CRM Explorer.

Although this tool description says it does not support VS2017, but the following article will show you the steps to install the tool successfully to VS2017.

Here is the link for tool and installing steps.

Hope it helps.
