Hi,

today I tried the new "Dynamics 365 Developer Toolkit" for VisualStudio. I could successfully install it for VS2017. After some workarounding I could even open an old CRM-VisualStudio project which was created and configured with the old developer tooolkit. Then I wanted to add a new plugin to the project - this is when the trouble begins.

For example, in the early days, the base class for the plugins was "Plugin.cs", now it is "PluginBase.cs", which even seems to come with a different interface. The newly created plugin also seems to miss the "base.RegisteredEvents.Add(...)" lines. Furthermore the new developer toolkit seems to restructure the old "RegisterFile.crmregister" file....etc.

I wonder if the the new developer toolkit is downward compatible to VS projects generated with the old developer toolkit? Does anybody has experience or a workaround?

With best regards,

Michael

Hi,

I don't think so, because between SDK sometimes the function names are changing.
