Framework for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE

This is a framework for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE developed by me. You can found it in GitHub and Nuget. You can simply add and start to you is via Nuget in Visual Studio.

This framework allows you to access and manage all development structure of Dynamics 365.

Framework for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE

Cube.XRM.Framework.Core: This is the main project of this framework. If you want to integrate external applications with Dynamics CRM you have to generate a Service object and connect to the Dynamics CRM. This project generates a Dynamics CRM Service and connects to the CRM instance. Also, this project contains some other core functionalities of the framework such as logging.

Cube.XRM.Framework: All framework functionalities are coming from this project.

  • Cube Base: All main functionalities are collected in this class like Plugin/Workflow Context, Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete operations, etc.
  • Cube Entity: If you want to create your own classes like Dynamics CRM entities this class will help you with add you some extra functionalities if you inherit your class from this class.
  • Exception Handler: Handle CRM Exceptions
  • Object Carrier: You can keep objects in memory with specified keys and access them later.
  • Settings: Framework setting are generating from this class.

Cube.XRM.Framework.AddOn: You can access all framework functionalities – Context, Log Mechanism, Service will be ready to use in your Plugin and Workflow.

Cube.XRM.Framework.IntegrationTester: This is just a test project also you can generate your settings file with this project.

Nuget:

You can add it your project via below codes:

Install-Package Cube.XRM.Framework.D365 -Version 1.462.0
dotnet add package Cube.XRM.Framework.D365 --version 1.462.0

More details here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Cube.XRM.Framework.D365/

Or, you can download all source code from here:

https://github.com/bkanlica/Cube.XRM.Framework

Also, you can follow “Framework” tag in my blog for future updates and old posts for the Framework for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE.

Avoid selecting all columns for optimal performance in Dynamics 365

For optimal performance, you should only select the minimum amount of data needed by your application when querying CRM data.  Queries that include a defined ColumnSet where the ColumnSet.AllColumns property is ‘true’ instruct the CRM data access platform to issue a SELECT * on all physical data included in the query plan.  This scenario should be avoided whenever possible.  
 

Violation Examples

ColumnSet.AllColumns setter method call
    var columns = new ColumnSet();
    columns.AllColumns = true;
    var query = new QueryExpression("account");
    query.ColumnSet = columns;
    var results = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
ColumnSet(bool allColumns) constructor overload
    var query = new QueryExpression("account")
    {
        ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(true)
    };
 
    var results = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
ColumnSet(bool allColumns) constructor overload for RetrieveRequest
    var entity = service.Retrieve("account", Guid.NewGuid(), new ColumnSet(true));

Guideline Examples 

ColumnSet(param string[] columns) constructor overload for QueryExpression
    var query = new QueryExpression("account")
    {
        ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("name", "address1_city")
    };
 
    var results = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
ColumnSet(param string[] columns) constructor overload for RetrieveRequest
    var entity = service.Retrieve("account", Guid.NewGuid(), new ColumnSet("name", "address1_city"));
ColumnSet.AddColumn(string column) method call
    var query = new QueryExpression("account");
    query.ColumnSet.AddColumn("name");
    query.ColumnSet.AddColumn("address1_city");
 
    var results = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
ColumnSet.AddColumns(param string[] columns) method call
    var query = new QueryExpression("account");
    query.ColumnSet.AddColumns("name", "address1_city");
 
    var results = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);

Usage of the Retrieve method should set the columnSet parameter to a ColumnSet instance with specified columns.  Usage of QueryExpression should set the  QueryBase.ColumnSet property with the required attributes. 

The following messages contain reference a ColumnSet instance:

Message
ConvertQuoteToSalesOrderRequest Class 
ConvertSalesOrderToInvoiceRequest Class 
GenerateInvoiceFromOpportunityRequest Class 
GenerateQuoteFromOpportunityRequest Class 
GenerateSalesOrderFromOpportunityRequest Class 
QueryByAttribute Class 
QueryExpression Class 
RetrieveAllChildUsersSystemUserRequest Class 
RetrieveBusinessHierarchyBusinessUnitRequest Class 
RetrieveMembersTeamRequest Class 
RetrieveRequest Class 
RetrieveSubsidiaryTeamsBusinessUnitRequest Class 
RetrieveSubsidiaryUsersBusinessUnitRequest Class 
RetrieveTeamsSystemUserRequest Class 
RetrieveUnpublishedRequest Class 
RetrieveUserSettingsSystemUserRequest Class 
ReviseQuoteRequest Class 
SearchByBodyKbArticleRequest Class

Build queries with QueryExpression

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises), you can use the QueryExpression class to programmatically build a query containing data filters and search conditions that define the scope of a database search. A query expression is used for single-object searches. For example, you can create a search to return all accounts that match certain search criteria. The QueryBase class is the base class for query expressions. There are two derived classes: QueryExpression and QueryByAttribute. The QueryExpression class supports complex queries. The QueryByAttribute class is a simple means to search for entities where attributes match specified values.

Query expressions are used in methods that retrieve more than one record, such as the IOrganizationService.RetrieveMultiple method, in messages that perform an operation on a result set specified by a query expression, such as BulkDeleteRequest and when the ID for a specific record is not known.

In addition, there is a new attribute on the organization entity, Organization.QuickFindRecordLimitEnabled. When this Boolean attribute is true, a limit is imposed on quick find queries. If a user provides search criteria in quick find that is not selective enough, the system detects this and stops the search. This supports a faster form of quick find and can make a big performance difference.
