Looking for CrmLINQPadPlugin.lpx plug in

skallal

We have a CRM at work, MS Dynamics 2011. And I use LINQPad a lot. There is a link at www.linqpad.net titled "Microsoft Dynamics CRM", which is a dead link. A few Google searches reveals there is a "CrmLINQPadPlugin.lpx" plug in. But all search hits are dated back in the 2011 time frame. So I assume the plug in is dead.

I'd like to query Dynamics CRM data. Currrently I have to go through a web service, which requires helper code. It would be nice to access the CRM directly. Too bad I can't find the plug in.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Did you know that Dyanmics CRM also supports OData querying? This means you can connect up LINQPad without using the old driver. Just add a new connection, choose the WCF Data Services data context driver, and point it at the OrganizationData.svc URL. Here is a sample URL:

http://dynamics-crm-server:5555/MyOrg/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc

You can then query typed data from LINQPad and the magic of LINQ!

Also, here is a cached copy of the driver I had: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1f6a4glpzvhuyto/CrmLINQPad.lpx?dl=0
