CrmPluginBase

Basic functionality for MS Dynamics CRM 2015 plugins - see example.

Provides ability for easy CRM plugins creation with focus on what you need to do and out of pain InputParameters/OutputParameters parsing.

Install package from nuget and enjoy!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

from now you must NO name your PreEntityImage as preimage and PostEntityImage as postimage - now you can override PreEntityImageName and PostEntityImageName properties and name 'em on your own

see ParametersWrapper .ctor.
