XrmFramework

XrmFramework is a project that contains the structure Delegate uses for every XRM project. It has all of our tools and shows how we use our tools together to create a better experience for developers.

Solution structure

The solution contains the following projects

• BusinessDomain contains the generated context from XrmContext.
• BusinessLogic contains the businesslogic that is being called by the plugins. These use the context from Businessdomain.
• Plugins contains the definition of all plugins. These are registered using DAXIF.
• Tests contains test definitions. All the tests use XrmMockup in order to simulate an XRM instance.
• Tools contains the result of installing Daxif, XrmContext and XrmDefinitelyTyped.
• WebResources contains webresource definitions. Client-side logic is written using Typescript and XrmDefinitelyTyped.
• Workflow contains CodeActivity definitions. These use the context from Businessdomain.

Renaming the framework

There is a renaming script file at the root. Ensure you have F# installed, open a command prompt and type

rename.cmd comp=Company org=Organization sol=Solution

where Company is the name of your company, Organization is the name of your organization and Solution is the name of the solution you want to sync your project with. This will replace all occurrences of DG with your company, XrmOrg with your organization and XrmSolution with your solution.

Configuring DAXIF

The final configuration is done inside Tools > Daxif > _Config.fsx. You will see definitions like this.

  let dev = 
    Environment.Create(
      name = "Development",
      url = "https://mydev.crm4.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc",
      ap = AuthenticationProviderType.OnlineFederation,
      creds = creds,
      args = fsi.CommandLineArgs
    )

Replace the details of the environment as needed. Do the same for each environment you have. We have dev, test, and prod by default.

Go down to PublisherInfo and modify the information. Notice that if you modify the prefix you must also modify the prefix of the folder in WebResources > src > dg_xxx, since it is used to mark the webresource folder for DAXIF WebResourceSync.

Ready

If you have done the above, then you are ready to start the development of your project. Build in release and sync your local files!
