Convert FetchXML to C# Query Expression

Convert a FetchXML on-the-fly to an equivalent query expression.

Add the FetchXml and press Convert FetchXml.

Debug Plugin

A ready to use plugin context will be generated based on dataverse data.

Components: {Plugin | CustomAPI | Workflow }
The component type for which the context will be generated.

Event: Plugin-Step, note that the step must be generated in advance and the assembly must be available within the solution

Target Id (optional): Source record id

Test Project: A C# unit test project

Two files will be generated:

~Test.context.cs : The generated context. Will be overridden
~Test.cs : The actual test, can be modified if needed.

Install KCA Power Platform SDK

The sdk is a ready to use plugin base class which can be used to delegate the plugin events to a specific method via attributes (CrmStep).

A plugin which inherits from PluginBase will automatically be detected and executed according to the attribute parameter.

A domain project (early bound entities) must be enabled to use the plugin base. See Run Code Generation.

A plugin package must be created to include the dependencies: See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/dependent-assembly-plugins

using Kupp.Dataverse.Sdk;
using Domain;

namespace Golet.Plugins.Accounts {
    public class AccountPlugin : PluginBase {

      [CrmStep(Account.EntityLogicalName, CrmMessages.Create, CrmStages.PostOperation, false, false)]
      public void AccountPreOper(PluginContext<Account> context) {
        
      }
    }
}
