Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a powerful tool. It has many unique features that empower organisations to bridge common business challenges and technology pitfalls that would usually hinder the adoption of a CRM solution. This book sets out to enable you to harness the power of Dynamics 365 and cater to your unique circumstances. We start this book with a no-code configuration chapter and explain the schema, fields, and forms modeling techniques. We then move on to server-side and client-side custom code extensions. Next, you will see how best to integrate Dynamics 365 in a DevOps pipeline to package and deploy your extensions to the various SDLC environments. This book also covers modern libraries and integration patterns that can be used with Dynamics 365 (Angular, 3 tiers, and many others). Finally, we end by highlighting some of the powerful extensions available. Throughout we explain a range of design patterns and techniques that can be used to enhance your code quality; the aim is that you will learn to write enterprise-scale quality code.

In this recipe, we will build a one-page MVC application that creates an account when it is called, effectively creating a façade with some business logic to your Dynamics 365 endpoints. We will reuse the Data Access Layer (DAL) built in Connecting to Dynamics 365 from other systems using .NET earlier in this chapter, in our MVC application. We will add an additional method called CreateAccount and call it when the CreateNewAccount action is called from the account controller.

Getting ready

Since we are building an MVC application, it is strongly recommended that you use the latest stable Visual Studio version; we will be using Visual Studio 2015. We also need an existing DAL class; we will reuse the one from the Connecting to Dynamics 365 from other systems using .NET recipe. You just need to update the constructor to accept the connection...
