Hi All,

On Monday 7th, Microsoft released the new SDK for Microsoft Dynamics 2011.

This new SDK contains compatibility for the new features Microsoft has released with Rollup 12.

Let’s play a little bit with it 😉

Cheers,

UPDATE: YES YES YES, WE NOW HAVE DEVELOPER TOOLKIT FOR VISUAL STUDIO 2012 😉

Information extracted from the SDK Readme containing some of the changes:

Change History for Developer Extensions and Portal Developer Toolkit

This section lists the changes to the Developer Extensions and Portal Developer Toolkit tools and assemblies.

V5.0.5

Modified sign-in flow to rely on Windows Azure ACS for federated authentication using Windows Live ID as the default Identity Provider.

Microsoft.Xrm.Portal: Added classes to store and parse Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) configuration data. Added HTTP handler to authenticate against Windows Azure ACS. Updated LiveID.axd HTTP handler to migrate existing WLID portal users over to Windows Azure ACS. Additional error handling.

WebsiteCopy.exe: Additional error handling.

WebApp: Updated Login.aspx to use new Windows Azure ACS sign in user control.

WebApp web.config:

         Added configuration sections to support Microsoft.IdentityModel.

         Added app setting to reference Windows Azure ACS Federation Metadata URI.

         Removed configuration for Forms authentication.

         Added Federation.axd HTTP handler to support Windows Azure ACS federated authentication.

V5.0.4

Updated portal front-side editing scripts to redirect user to parent page on deletion of current page, rather than redirecting to the site root page.

Updated portal front-side editing scripts to accept any loaded version of jQuery, rather than performing a version check.

Microsoft.Xrm.Client.OrganizationServiceContextExtensions: Added missing relationship methods. Several of the early bound based relationship accessor methods were left unimplemented in the OrganizationServiceContextExtensions class (others were implemented correctly). These are convenience methods that allow relationships to be specified using static code-gen properties rather than using a late bound Relationship object, which requires a relationship schema name to be provided. The new methods are AttachLink, DetachLink, IsDeleted, AddLink, and DeleteLink.

Microsoft.Xrm.Portal.Web.UI.WebControls.CrmEntityFormView: Added public method InsertItem, to trigger form insert event from an external control.

ConsoleAppWalkthrough:

         Updated configuration with required service context configuration section.

         Updated SDK reference paths to match directory structure of SDK distribution.

         Removed unnecessary Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll reference.

PluginWalkthrough:

         Updated SDK reference paths to match directory structure of SDK distribution.

WebApp Walkthrough:

         Updated SDK reference paths to match directory structure of SDK distribution.

         Removed unnecessary Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll reference.

         Updated CrmEntityFormView example to use a system-default view name, rather than a custom one.

V5.0.3

Caching: Fixed cache label processing bug that can cause the RetrieveEntity and RetrieveAllEntities requests to return the same cache item due to incorrect cache labels.

Caching: Fixed caching bug where EntityReference.Name is not being cloned.

Connectivity: Fixed parsing of the organization name to work with IFD deployments.

Connectivity: Fixed incorrect username parsing.

Threading: Added capability to prevent a backslash from being passed to the Mutex class.

Connection Dialog/WebsiteCopy: Updated the Connection Dialog UI to support Claims and IFD.
