In this post we will look at how to code 2 plugins in one assembly. This might be useful if you want to keep related pieces of code under the same code base.
Let’s create a new VS project:
Rename the class to Plugins:
Add Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies through NuGet.
Add the code. We will add 2 functions, Plugin1 and Plugin2:
The code will write a Plugin Trace Log entry.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
namespace Carl.MultiplePlugins
{
public class Plugin1 : IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
tracingService.Trace("Plugin 1.");
}
}
public class Plugin2 : IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
tracingService.Trace("Plugin 2.");
}
}
}
Sign and build the project.
Now in the Plugin Registration Tool, select the assembly to register it. We see it is picking up there are 2 plugins:
And 2 have been registered:
We see the plugins:
Right-click the first plugin to add a step:
Let’s run this on create of an Account:
And the second one, create of a Contact:
Ensure plugin tracing is turned on in System Settings.
Now create an Account.
Go to Plugin Trace Logs in Advanced Find:
Plugin 1 is written to the log:
Now create a Contact. Plugin 2 has run.
