Hi Arash,

Thanks for the template, this is great! Now I can finally remove VS2003 from my dev VPC and save some space :)

Is this related with MSBee in any way?

Hi Arash

Nice article, have to try this out later. How about workflow assemblies ? Could they be also run under framework 2.0 ?

The tempate uses MSBuild that was shipped with Visual Studio 2005. MSBee is simply some extra toolkits to top of MSBuild.

You can try building your Workflow assemblies with .NET 2.0. They should work but we have only tested them with .NET 1.1. To be on the safe side you can use the same callout template, remove the callout assembly refrence and compile your workflow assembly against .NET 1.1. If i get some free time, i'll try to build a workflow assembly template.

What folder should this be installed in? I use a non-standard install for VS2005, so when I install this it doesn't show up as in the screen shot.

Thanks

It insalls the template in C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\CRM. You can copy the .zip file from this folder to the folder that you VS is looking for templates in.

Setting.Designer.cs is a new Visual Studio 2005 feature(enables you to manage your project settings) therefore, it is not undrestood by .NET v1.1 compiler (that is the compiler that you are compiling your project with). Simply delete this file from your project and you should be able to compile.

If you uninstall it, it eradicates the Visual C# folder under project templates. That looks like a bug.

Nice template, but when I trying to build project, I get about 1000 errors - csc.exe v.1.1 doesn't understand VS2005 auto generated proxy class for CRM web-service... What should I do with this?..

Arash,

I have a problem and need your help, i make a project with the Callout Template, compile sucessfully, copy the asembly, copy the xml configuration file, but the callout don't execute, in the Window Log Event save this record:

Error: ISV code threw exception: assembly: CotizacionCallout.dll; class: CotizacionCallout.csCotizacionCallout; entity: opportunity, event: postcreate, exception: System.TypeLoadException: No se puede cargar el tipo CotizacionCallout.csCotizacionCallout del ensamblado CotizacionCallout, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bfbf0db7a2c4ec23.

....

The asembly has a strongname verified with sn.exe -v and version of the framework used to build is v1.1.4322, this know because i explore the assembly with Asmex (an asembly explorer), i don't know where is the problem so i ask you if you know about similar problems ???

First, great template. This will save me some time tonight, and I thank you.

Second, let me tell you about a couple of changes I made in my project to make the build process a little easier for me. This assumes you don't mind clobbering your existing callout code each build.

1) I changed the build output folder to go right to the assembly folder

2) I added the following pre and post build events

PREBUILD:

net stop "Microsoft CRM Workflow service"

iisreset /stop

POSTBUILD:

iisreset /start

net start "Microsoft CRM Workflow service"

3) Unchecked "Enable the Visual Studio Hosting Process" on the debug tab.

4) Made my Start Action "Start Browser with URL" http://localhost

Now I just need to get the debugger properly attached and symbols loaded and I'm all set for a much nicer experience. Thank you again.

Hi, this looks great,

but I'm getting Compiler Errors within Setting.Designer.cs..

My auto-generated Settings-File looks like:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// <auto-generated>

// This code was generated by a tool.

// Runtime Version:2.0.50727.42

// Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if

// the code is regenerated.

// </auto-generated>

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

namespace MyCallOut.Properties {

[global::System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute()]

[global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editors.SettingsDesigner.SettingsSingleFileGenerator", "8.0.0.0")]

internal sealed partial class Settings : global::System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase {

private static Settings defaultInstance = ((Settings)(global::System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsBase.Synchronized(new Settings())));

public static Settings Default {

get {

return defaultInstance;

}

and I'm getting errors like "Identifier expected", "{ expected" and so on..

What am I doing wrong? Could somebody help me?

Thanx 1000x

OK, I've replaced the CrmSdk-Reference files with those I had created once before with VS2003 and now I was able to compile the project. If it works, let's see, I'll give yoo the response if tested. This issue could be usefull for you: CrmService SDK Reference MUST BE created with VS2003!

I used the template to create Callouts in VS 2005.

Things seems to work but once I tried to access Post Entity XML and debug it using VS2005 I got exception thrown.

The trace file showed exception in SQl and parsing the entityXML.

have anybody faced such issues?

Is it due to some schema parsing difference between VS 2003 and VS 2005?
