Created a plugin using the tool and then went back and updated my .net class and tried to update the registration using the button at the top of the tool but nothing happened? Am i doing anything wrong or does the Update work?

Developing Plug-ins for CRM 4.0

Works great for *one* organisation. I added a second organisation where I didn't want the plugins to be fired, so naturally I didn't register them for that organisation. Somehow it still thinks they ought to be there, because when I create an instance of an entity (which would cause a plugin to fire in organisation A, but shouldn't in organisation B) it fails with the error message: "Unable to load plug-in assembly".

Well, yes, obviously. Because it's not there. But neither is it supposed to be! So why is it still trying to load plug-in assembly when no plugin has been registered for that organisation?

I assume that you are workign with CRM 4.0 plugins. You registered on OrgA. Can you connect to Org B and see if you see any plugins or Steps then they are registered in that org too.

Please check the Url when you connect to the Second Org. You should see the Url containing the Org name.

I think you might still be connecting to the First org.

Thanks

Hi Ajith,

I am using the registration tool to register a plug in I developed.

It was registering my plugin in my development environment without any problem.

But when I tried to register the plugin with the tool who has a proxy settings (proxy username and password is different from the server user name and password) I was getting an exception : unauthorised code 401.

Is it because of their proxy settings?

Is there any possible walk around for this problem?

I appreciate your help

I was looking at the xml file of the plugin developer. I am quite new with this stuff and i dont really understand when to use CustomConfiguration string, when to use asynchronous vs sychronous modes and stuff like that. Can anyone direct me to a source which explains these things in detail.

Thanks in advance

Try making the SDK call from the machine using proxy username and passwd, if that works then the same should happen to the tool. Tool uses SDK to autheticate. so you need to troubleshoot the AD suthentication from the proxy server.

I suspect that the Discoveryservice is returning the Url which is not valid from your proxy server which might be causing the issue. Look at the url returned by Discoveryservice.

Hi Ajith,

I am trying to register my first CRM 4.0 plug-in using your tool. It's working just fine using the "Database" option. However, when I select the "Disk" or "GAC" option, I am able to register the new assembly and new step, but the CRM is unable to load the plug-in and is giving me the following message "Unable to load the plug-in assembly". The assembly file is not stored anywhere on my CRM server after the registration ("Disk" - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Server\bin\assembly -- "GAC" - C:\WINDOWS\assembly)

Why is the registration successful, if the assembly file has not been deployed?

Thanks in advance!

This tool has certainly come on from the initial SDK version from January 2008, I was delighted to see the support for multiple organisations in the CRM enterprise edition etc.

A question, is it possible to use 1 plugin assembly and register it when creating a "Step" to be fired for both the Create and Update events. If I try to enter both the tool gives an error.

Even with the plugindeveloper tool and the manual register.xml file I have found no way to do this so I have to create 2 signed assembly projects, one for Insert and another for Update.
