Hi,

I have one basic doubts. Can any one please clarify me.

Why we are using interface for plugin and why we are using abstract class for custom workflow.  

Thanks,

Seenivasan SR

    Hi Seenivasan,

    This is due to design of Dynamics CRM . The Iplugin is a base interface for plugin  development and to make a call inside dynamics CRM event execution system.

    Custom workflow supports the registration and execution of custom workflow activities in addition to the out-of-box activities provided by Windows Workflow Foundation and using System.Activities namespace. Custom Workflow Activities  are the custom CRM activity steps i.e. technically a .net assembly which are being used as a step in CRM workflows to achieve some business task which can be done using simple CRM workflow options.

    Hope this helps.
