Hello,

I am trying to use a custom C# CodeActivity to update a different entity than which entity triggers it. I have been trying to use Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector CrmServiceClient to achieve this, although I am getting the error message "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." Any suggestions?

.NET Framework 4.6.2

All NuGet packages are on current stable versions and all appear to be compatible (Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly version 9.1.0.108)

Thank you!

Hi,

You should not use Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector CrmServiceClient package in your custom workflow code.

You should be using Microsoft.CrmSdk.Workflow package only.

Please see below article on how to create custom workflow activity -

Hi,

Remove all the references from project and add references into the project with below command from nuget package manager console(Tools -> Nuget Package Manager -> Package manager console ) –

Install-Package Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly -Version 9.1.0.92

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
