These words provide details of the Visual Studio extension I have created for developing dynamics 365 solutions

The extension contains the following features

The extension is free and can be installed in Visual Studio by selecting Tools -> Extensions and Updates

The screenshot below shows installation in the Extensions and Updates dialog. Select Visual Studio Marketplace and search for JosephM.Xrm.Vsix

With the extension installed you get a new XRM menu group in solution explorer for various right-click contexts. For instance this screenshot shows the menu when the solution is right clicked

To add a connection for the solution select Package Settings in the Solutions right click XRM menu. This allows you to add one or more connections into the solution, one of which will be the ‘active’ connection

This screenshot shows the Package Settings form

• The field ‘Add to Solution’ allows you to specify to add components you deploy/change into a Dynamics 365 solution
• The prefix fields are used to prefix code and files which are created from item templates
• The grid allows you to add connections to dynamics 365 instances
• Projects may also be configured to show/hide XRM menu options based on their purpose

To add a new connection click the + button at the top left of the grid

This opens the form shown below for entering the connection details and user credentials for the connection. Clicking Next will validate the connection and if connected will add the connection to the grid

The discovery service address and organisation unique name are found in the dynamics 365 web application by navigating Settings -> Customizations -> Developer Resources

The screenshot below highlights the relevant locations

Note to find this location in newer instances you need to click Advanced Settings in the settings menu dropdown

When Next is clicked on the form containing the connections grid any changes will be saved, and the connection which is set with the Active check box set will be set as the active connection

Note the package settings and connection are saved into files in a visual studio solution folder. This is shown in the screenshot below. The file is prefixed with the current users name to allow multiple files to be created in the same solution for different users with a personally encrypted password. Passwords are encrypted for the current user account on the current machine so will need to be reentered if changing workstations

And thus ends these details. See the links at the start of the article for details on specific features in the extension. If you often develop solutions for dynamics 365 and write custom code in visual studio this could be worth trying out to improve productivity
