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 Hsl.Xrm.Sdk 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.
