When working with Power Platform, the Dev environment often holds the latest version of what your team is building. However, tracking what actually changed between exports across components, flows, and configurations is a tedious task. The diffs are noisy, the XML is unreadable,...
Another blog post to handle the concurrency issue. Previously, I shared how to do concurrency via a plugin in this blog post and also how to force concurrency behavior in Dataverse in this post. However, when I attempted to implement this, it still did not resolve the concurrency...
Before we continue, this blog post will only work if you using Early-Bound on your plugin project (for Late-Bound, you can follow this blog post). The scenario that we will cover is to get rid of the hassle of the below method (I will show you using the code to make it easier):...
When I scanned Microsoft.Xrm.SDK namespace from Visual Studio, I found an exciting extension in the ContextExtensions class. In there, we can discover InputParameterOrDefault<T> that accepts a string parameter. Without further ado, let's go to my testing about it! Demo 😁 I...

Today we will learn how to create a Custom API to get a file from File DataType in CRM. I only knew that CRM got this DataType when I browsed our beloved community forum last week. I can't find the thread already. But in short, the thread started questioning how we could get the...
Have you got an error request time out in the plugin? If the plugin only contains simple business logic, It will not be hard to catch the problem. But what if you got lots of business logic that updating more than one entity? Today we will create simple extension functions that...
