CRM 2013 has removed the duplicate detection because it is constantly saving, this solution can allow you to add that functionality back in.

Fantastic windows 8 style navigation display. It allows you to see all the entities, which is great if like me it takes you some time to navigate around in CRM 2013

Hi Ben nice list, just adding to your list, there’s a XRMService Toolkit
XrmServiceToolkit is a JavaScript library which can be used for JavaScript Development under the platform for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011/2013 environments. The library contains four major parts regarding functions.
Common: General Methods used for various purpose.
Rest: Organization Data Service functions including CRUD, Associate, Disassociate, etc
Soap: Organization Service functions including CRUD, Fetch, Associate, Disassociate, etc
Extension: jQuery extension to utilize WebResource to extend CRM 2011 / CRM 2013 including dependent OptionSet, field tooltip, add custom filter view to lookup field. (Some Methods ‘Unsupported’. Some of these methods have either been replaced with supported methods or deprecated in CRM 2013 version)
I found this tool to be very handy !!

Hi Hosk,
I’m getting the following error when I try the early bound class based sample code available through the sdk (SampleCode\CS\Process\CustomWorkflowActivity\TestNet4Activity\SimpleSdkActivity.cs).
The loosely bound code is working fine without any problem. Please help me to resolve this issue.
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error. Reference number for administrators or support: #12146A89
at Microsoft.Crm.Sandbox.SandboxCodeUnit.Execute(IExecutionContext context)
Note: I used the Early bound generator to generate the entire entities as a separate class library and I build my class library and my workflow code activity with .Net 4.0 and merge the custom class library using IlMerge.

This particular line: Guid entityId = service.Create(account); throws this error.

Not CRM specific, but an ancillary tool for creating data. I’ve tested a few recently, and I really like this one: https://www.mockaroo.com/
I am using it to create sample data for demos and internal testing.
It’s also a great tool to validate your entity model early in the process. When entering loads of data, you can quickly see holes in the model when data sets do not align!

Thanks for the comment James
This site looks pretty useful, I was creating some test data recently and the tool I was using only allow me to generate 100 rows, this tool allows you to generate 1000 rows.
I could probably do with adding a new section for Test data

Hosk, Awesome . It will surely come handy for the CRM devotees. I request you to add one more tool where some times we may need to provide Entity relationship diagrams to customers. This may be helpful https://xrmadvice.wordpress.com/2015/01/15/crm-20152013-er-diagram-generator-tool/
