Do you want to deploy one or more plugins?? Cause i think your description is contradicting your subject. Or maybe I don't understand your question. maybe this might help

If you just highlight the assembly and press update. Then load your assembly and then highlight the check all the boxes. If you have just updated one plugin it will only pickup those changes and leave any plugins which haven't been changed.

You can also download XRMToolBox and download the Plugin Auto Deployer

Plugin Auto Deployer - Automatically updates plugin registrations when assemblies are recompiled during development

So when ever you rebuild your code in Visual Studio it will auto deploy that plugin automatically.

Ok, that's default behavior of Plugin Registration Tool, but it's not what i asked.

Problem is that i have plugins that are not finished (we are changing some logic in that plugin and while we are waiting client response i finished other plugin). So how can i Update only that finished plugin?

Plugins(Finished and Unfinished) that are we talking about are in the same assembly.

Hi,

It is not possible to just update a single plugin in an assembly in Plugin Registration Tool. You could try creating a separate assembly for the finished plugin and unregister that plugin from the old assembly.

See: community.dynamics.com/...240371

Hope this helps.

If i got it right this thing works only on new plugins that are not already registered. But my problem is that unfinished plugins are already deployed and at the moment their logic is changed(not finished). In this case i got exception.

Hi,

When you change a class name inside the plugin assembly and try to update the plug-in assembly using Plug-in registration, it can result in this error.

I would split your assembly into multiple assemblies. Each assembly can have many plugins. You'll have to re-register pretty much everything, but you'll solve this problem once and for all - there seem to be too much functionality in your single assembly right now.
