Dynamics 365/ Power Apps : Plugin Development Course

Explore a five-module Dynamics 365 plugin development course, covering overview, extending Dynamics, the event framework, plugin execution, tracing, and debugging.

this lecture introduces Microsoft Dynamics 365 as a unified crm and erp product line, detailing built-in integrations, data sharing, and no data migration as apps unite in a single suite.

Outline course scope by identifying the target audience and prerequisites. Explore four chapters on functionality, configuration, customization, and extension in Dynamics 365, plus installation and setup for a guided trial.

Identify the target audience for the Dynamics 365 plugin development course, including developers, technical consultants, architects, and admins aiming to advance in Dynamics 365 customer engagement apps.

Learn to extend Dynamics 365 with plugins, including writing, registering, and debugging plugins, and integrating with external apps; explore navigation and scripting as extension options.

learn how to install the Dynamics 365 SDK for plugin development, download the SDK, set up a local tools folder, and locate the plugin registration folder for development.

Identify scenarios where out-of-the-box Dynamics 365 features fall short and require custom development, such as complex regulations, auto-number generation, external integrations, and data migration.

Before custom development in Dynamics 365 plugin projects, evaluate built-in and nocode options, use them first, and pursue development when required, such as sending a welcome email on customer creation.

Explore the fundamentals of plugin development for Dynamics 365, including the event framework and plugin execution pipeline, the plugin interfaces and service provider, then build a sample plugin.

Learn what a plugin is in Dynamics 365: a custom server-side business logic triggered by specific events, and how to register and deploy with a two-minute execution limit.

Explore the basics of Dynamics 365 plugin development, implementing a plugin class, its execute method, and using the service provider, plugin execution context, and input/output parameters.

Learn to build Dynamics 365 plug-ins step by step by installing the SDK, creating a class library, and implementing the IPlugin execute method with tracing and context.

Explore how to write a basic plugin in Microsoft Dynamics 365 to automatically update the account description with Hello World on creation, comparing post and pre operation approaches.

Register and upload plugins on the Dynamics 365 server, then deploy the same plugin across environments and instances.

Discover how to register Dynamics 365 plugins using the plugin registration tool, including connecting to online or premise servers, registering assemblies, and understanding sandbox isolation and storage options.

Explore tracing and debugging in dynamics 365 plugin development, learn how to trace logs, debug plugins in online environments, and understand dynamics tracing across the customer engagement platform.

Enable tracing in Dynamics 365 customer engagement to capture plugin logs. View traces in the plugin log and configure off, exception, or on in system settings.

Debug plugins in a Dynamics 365 on premise environment by registering and deploying plugin assemblies to disk, configuring the debugger, and attaching the appropriate processes for sandbox and asynchronous scenarios.

Enable profiling in the plugin registration tool, attach the profiler to your online Dynamics 365 instance, and trigger the plugin to collect debugging data for analysis.

Explore plugin fundamentals and advanced concepts in module five, including shared variables, impersonation, secure and unsecure configurations, and exception handling.

Master passing data between plug-ins with shared variables in the Dynamics 365 plugin execution context, leveraging pre and post operation steps to transfer values across stages.

discover how impersonation works in Dynamics 365 plugin development, by running plugins under another user's context and programmatically creating elevated services to access restricted records.

Learn how to handle exceptions in Dynamics 365 plugins, compare synchronous and asynchronous behavior, view errors in dialogs or system jobs, and show custom messages via invalid plugin execution exceptions.

Explore entity ownership in Dynamics 365, identifying organization, user or team, and business unit ownership; learn how ownership defines permissions, affects custom entities, and cannot be changed after creation.

Discover how workflow ownership in Dynamics 365 sets execution context, with scope options including user level, business unit, parent-child units, and organization, guiding automatic and on-demand triggers across employees.

Diagnose why a Dynamics 365 plugin fails in production but not in development by analyzing root causes, enabling tracing, and reviewing triggering, configuration, and permissions.

Explore field level security in Dynamics 365, including enabling field security, creating security profiles, and managing read, create, and update permissions with practical demos.

Explore the unified interface in Microsoft Dynamics 365, a responsive design delivering a consistent experience across browser, tablet, and phone, with a historical overview and roadmap.

Learn to connect to dynamics 365 with c# by stepwise installing the sdk, creating a console app, configuring organization service, and querying contacts from a trial instance.
