This document gives you information about how to build and run the samples included in this SDK. Typically, you open the sample's solution or project file in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or later and press F5 to run a sample.

The samples work with all supported Microsoft Dynamics CRM deployments. All samples use the helper code in the SampleCode\CS\HelperCode or SampleCode\VB\HelperCode folders to handle connecting to and authenticating with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server.

In that same helper code folder is a file named MyOrganizationCrmSdkTypes. This file contains the early-bound entity types, for example, Account and Contact, and was generated using the CrmSvcUtil.exe program located in the SDK\Bin folder. The file is included (linked) in all Visual Studio projects that use early-bound entity types and will help you start coding. You can generate and use your own early-bound types file in your projects at any time.

The following instructions apply to most of the SDK samples. If a sample's folder contains a Readme file, follow the instructions provided in that file.

To build and run a sample, follow these steps:

1. Double-click the sample's solution (.sln) file in Windows Explorer to open the sample's project in Visual Studio. If a solution file does not exist, double-click the sample's project (.csproj or .vbproj) file instead.
2. Open the project's properties by right-clicking the project in Solution Explorer and selecting Properties.
3. If there is more than one sample class in the project, you must choose which one will be executed. Select a sample class to execute from the Startup object drop-down list.
4. Press F5 to build and run the sample or select Build Solution in the Build menu to build it.
5. Enter the following information at the prompts:

After the first run of an SDK console based sample, the server, organization, and user name information you entered when prompted is saved in an XML configuration file for re-use the next time you run a sample. This feature removes the need to enter that information again as you run additional samples. After the first sample run, the console prompts are as follows.

• All samples target the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, which must be installed on your development computer.
• All samples make use of NuGet packages to obtain the CRM SDK and other assemblies. A connection to the internet is required for these packages to automatically be downloaded prior to a build.
• The sample files are not intended to be used in a production environment. You should deploy this sample to a test environment and examine it for interaction or interference with other parts of the system.
• Before you deploy this sample to a production environment, make sure that you consider the existing customizations you may have implemented in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016.
• A small number of samples require additional (fictitious) system user accounts to exist on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server other than the system user account running the sample. For more information, see the following section.
• Samples executing on-premises that create fictitious user accounts will prompt for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path. For example, a server address of a.b.c.com would have a path value of LDAP://a/DC=b,DC=c,DC=com.

The following table lists the SDK samples that require additional fictitious system user accounts to exist, other than the system user account running the sample. The accounts must be in the target Microsoft Dynamics CRM organization.

For Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 on-premises, these fictitious user accounts will be created automatically by the sample if the user that runs the sample has System Administrator privilege in Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics CRM. For Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, you must manually create these fictitious users in the target organization before running the sample. Alternately, you can modify the SampleCode\CS\HelperCode\SystemUserProvider.cs or SampleCode\VB\HelperCode\SystemUserProvider.vb files in the SDK download to use system user accounts that already exist in your Microsoft Dynamics CRM organization. Assign these accounts the roles indicated in the above table.

The following samples have known issues that prevent them from running correctly. These issues will be fixed in a future release of the SDK.

7.0

• All samples were updated to target .NET Framework 4.5.2 and support the 2015 release.
• CRM SDK assembly references were replaced by NuGet packages.

8.0

• The 'QuickStart with Simplified Connection' sample has been updated to use Xrm.Tooling.Connector for authenticating with the web services. This change adds OAuth authentication support plus full run-time diagnostics of the connection process. Diagnostics are enabled using settings in the app.config file. You can find the sample in the SDK download under SampleCode\CS\QuickStart.
