Thank you for your help,
i want to know if the Microsoft dynamics online is same as Microsoft dynamics 365? now i'm creating my free trial account to test my code. but in all MSDN examples they've noted Microsoft dynamics 365 instead of dynamics online.
Best Regards,
Sure, you can create an Online trial for 30 days for some testing purposes. Or if you have already an Online organization, you can create (or buy) Sandbox environment which will be up-to-date with the latest releases of CRM
Thank you Dear,
i want to ask you if there any possibility to have a testing lab on the cloud if we need to test our application using the latest version of the CRM SDK
Best Regards
You don't have to publish anything on the cloud just make sure that your application has internet access (or at least access to CRM Online services), rebuild it against .NET 4.6.2 and latest Xrm.Sdk. If it's that old you will probably have to change how you connect to CRM, right now the best way is to use XRM.Tooling:
Dear Aric,
So from your answer i can get that i don't need to publish anything from my side on the cloud. i only have to change the XRM sdk to the new one in order to connect to CRM that is installed on the cloud.
please note that i need to publish my web application on premises not on the cloud, but the crm that i need to integrate with it is installed on the cloud
Thank you

There are a few things that you would need to do in order for the application to work with CRM Online.
1. The versioning of the SDK or any CRM dll files that you might be using right now for CRM Online, should be changed to the new versions of CRM. You can download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM if your cloud version in 8.2, or if your cloud version id 9.0 you will need to download this from the Microsoft docs web site:
docs.microsoft.com/.../download-tools-nuget
2. Previous version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM used to connect to the environment using Xrm.Sdk.Client assembly. In versions 8 and above (possibly earlier), Microsoft released the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector assembly, which replaced the Sdk Client connector completely.
You will have to modify your code to use the new assembly and replace the old one.
3. This is related to the previous step, and kind of obvious, but your connection string or how you build you connection to Crm has be changed. Although with the new Tooling.Connector you can use the CRM Connection class to perform all the functions you would use against the CRM environment, to minimize your code changes, you can still use the Organization Service with CRM 9.0
Finally, this is dependent on your timeline and budget, and the version of CRM Online you are moving to, but you should eventually consider moving your code from using the Organization Service to using WebApi.
It might be worth to wait a little with this and see if Microsoft releases a version of Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk that will connect to WebApi instead of you having to write the code to do it.
Hope this helps.
Hi Adel ,
follow this flow:
1) create an azure account
2) create a new web application
3) publish your application through visual studio (it is all automatic providing your credentials=
4) you need to activate express azure directory autentication in web app
5) follow this tutorial https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devkeydet/2013/01/14/crm-online-windows-azure-improving-the-sso-experience/
6) you are done
Please let me know if you solve.
