Sample: Azure aware custom plug-in

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

This is a sample custom plug-in that can post the pipeline execution context to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus.

This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises). Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

SampleCode\CS\Azure\Plug-ins\SandboxPlugin.cs

Requirements

For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.

Demonstrates

The plug-in demonstrates how to obtain the execution context and the tracing service from the service provider parameter of the Execute method. The plug-in then posts the context to the Microsoft Azure Service Bus endpoint and writes information to the trace log to facilitate debugging.

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Threading;
