• Custom Workflow Class

Console projects can be run and debugged from Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code (with C# extension). Included in the project will be an appsettings.json file with connection strings ready to be updated.

Plug-in and workflow projects with have a new strong name key file generated and assigned to the project.

When creating projects, the latest SDK version for each major/minor version combination will be available from NuGet to choose from. The 2016+ console project will install the latest major/minor version combination of the XrmTooling.CoreAssembly for the chosen SDK version (which will be 8.0+). The 2011-2015 console project will install the latest major/minor version combination of the CrmSdk.Extensions for the chosen SDK version (which will be <8.0).

You will also have the option to create a Visual Studio solution file.
