Currently, there is no easy way to update all the existing proxy classes (with their respective option sets). Right now I have to select all the class files in the solution explorer, right click, then click 'CRM -> Regenerate...'

Maybe there could be an option group called 'Proxy Classes' in the context menu for the project where you can either add proxy classes or regenerate all

It would be great if I could Execute a CalculateRollupRequest if the field is a rollup field. Currently I have to extend the proxy class and so I could call the function. It could work similar to how lookup fields can RetrieveProxy<T> i.e. contactRecord.new_rollupfield.Rollup(OrganizationService) would execute the function.

Add Entity Metadata Repository
Instead of hardcoded metadata information inside proxy classes, it would be awesome to provide this information inside a repository.

Something like:

var entityRepositoryItem = MetadataRepository.GetEntity(param entity);
var attributeItem = entityRepositoryItem.GetAttribute(string name);

Console.WriteLine(attributeItem.Max Length);
Console.WriteLine(attributeItem.Logicalname);
...

The current intellisense feature for picklist attribute will generate something like this.
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_dropdownfield").setValue(912210002);

The value 912210002 makes it less readable for future maintenance. A suggestion is to rather do the following.
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_dropdownfield").setValue(PicklistA_Option1);

Define PicklistA_Option1 in the same file automatically or in an enumerations.js file that can be include.
As part of the Web Resource Minification remove this reference.

Straight forward instead of manually having to deactivate all of these workflows. Maybe there's a way to remotely deactivate them publish and reactivate them.

Add the ability to easily create/test plugins and other code. Something similar to https://github.com/daryllabar/XrmUnitTest or https://dynamicsvalue.com/home

It would be nice if the the ExtensionMethods or some other feature in the BaseProxyClass would return an option set value via text based on the [Description] in the enum. Perhaps this already exists but, I did not see it in the documentation.

Something like
OptionSetValue ov = new OptionSetValue(ExtensionMethods.GetOptionSetValue("Active"));

With a solution structure, where every plugin has an own visual studio project its very hard to publish multiple plugins at once. (e.g. when a method in the base class has been changed)
Please support multi selection of C# projects, like on webresources by "Right click" > "CRM" > "Build and publish".

Thanks,

...so that when I commit it to source control, I can use standard diff tools to review changes

We sometimes have multiple developers working on same webresources. Ability to download the latest from CRM before start of edit and to compare server version with the original downloaded version before publish will allow us to know if some one else have make script changes while I am working on a file. This will prevent developers overwriting each others changes. Comparing local and server files manually each time you modify is not productive.

I have a project with the namespace "com.crengland.services.Web.CrmApi.Xrm" but XrmToolkit always capitalizes the first character of the namespace when generating proxy classes. I have to manually replace the namespace in generated proxy classes to fix this issue.

I tried using the option to auto-publish on Save, but I actually save a *lot* (because VS crashes hurt) and only want to incur the publish delay when things are in a particularly good state. In other development this is when I do a Build, and I do build my CRM client scripts (Typescript ftw), so my ideal would be for a build to publish files changed since the previous build. Slightly less ideal but still good: publish all of the project's checked-out files. Worst case, manually flagging files to publish works, too.

Would it be possible to add StringLengthAttributes to string properties of auto generated classes? The length should reflect the maximum length of the CRM field.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.dataannotations.stringlengthattribute(v=vs.95).aspx

It would help much, because right now setting a value that is to long for CRM does not raise an exception but just leaves to field empty in CRM (nothing is saved).

Currently, only system messages are available when creating/registering new plugins (e.g. Create, Save, Update, etc.). Users should be able to select from active custom actions that have already been created as well. Microsoft's plugin registration tool currently supports this.

Should be able to call an API to publish a crm asset or plugin/workflow assembly to the CRM organization taking into account all the XrmToolkit configuration information.

I use 3rd party libraries with intellisense files and need to be able to permanently mark these as not linked to CRM.

In other instances I need to be able to correct the link eg. created a new instance instead of linking to an existing instance in CRM or vice versa.

Right now when you register a plugin step the name is blank. I suggest that name to be default to something.

for example if the Plugin is 'MyPlugin' and the Message is 'Update' and the entity is 'Opportunity' then default the plugin name to 'MyPlugin - Update - Opportunity'

A configurable default would be nicer (as I'm sure there are a lot of different naming standards out there)

I would like to see a feature comparison of your product vs other tools/SDK options available
