CRM 2011 – Simple CrmSvcUtil example for creating early bound classes

if you want to use early bound classes in CRM 2011 you will need to use the CrmSvcUtil to create the cs file to enable you to bound the classes early.

The way I view this, is the CrmSvcUtil basically creates a bunch of objects/classes for the entities in your organisation. This then enables you to create them and use them whilst using the CRM sdk.

the CrmSvcUtil command line tool is here

sdk\bin

you will need to open a command line tool and CD yourself there.

I am doing an AD example

CrmSvcUtil.exe /url:https://myport:555/MyOrg/xrmServices/2011/Organization.svc /out:GeneratedCode.cs 
   /username:administrator /password:password

here is a slightly adjusted example

CrmSvcUtil.exe /url:http://crmdevmscrm/CRM2011DEV/xrmServices/2011/Organization.svc /out:HosksGeneratedCode.cs /username:Hosk /password:Hoskpassword

The example above will create a cs file called HosksGeneratedCode with all the entities in the organisation referenced. If you want to see examples for other types of authentication check here
