An extension to assist when working with Dynamics 365 (CRM) and Common Data Services customizations.
The idea was to make uploading and publishing web resources easier, and eventually manage the entire dev process.
This extension is currently in beta, more features are being added and with it more bugs
Early-bound classes are generated using the DLaB.Xrm.EarlyBoundGenerator.
Support for Spkl has been included, this is currently the only way to do plugin deployments with this extension.
Currently not supported but planned for future:
- Generate Early-bounds for javascript & typescript
Licence
