The Hsl.Xrm.Sdk provides helpers for interacting with the Common Data Service (CDS) using .NET Code. Check out our articles on details on how to get started:
- Getting Started with Plugin Development
- Most Useful Extension Methods - Helper methods to speed up development
- Introduction to Hsl.Xrm.Sdk.Client - External connections/integrations to Dataverse
- Introduction to IXrmContext - Writing code that runs will both inside and outside plugins
The code is broken down into the following assemblies:
Hsl.Xrm.Sdk
- Provides helpers and extension methods for Xrm classes like Entity.GetFieldValue
- SettingsManager provides helpers for retrieving Hsl - Settings records.
- IXrmContext provides a standard context that can be used both from plugin or other code.
Hsl.Xrm.Sdk.Client
- Provides helpers for connecting to CDS externally (as opposed to a plugin).
- Provides the ability to make async calls to the OrganizationService if using App Authentication. This will generally lead to better performance/scaling. See the section Avoid Blocking Calls of the ASP.NET Core Performance Best Practices
- Provides the ability to cycle through multiple different credentials.
