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.

Triggering builds on solution version increments


In this recipe, we will implement a polling application that monitors a solution for version updates. When a version is updated, the script will automatically download the updated solution.

There are at least a couple of ways in which we can monitor the solution version update: either using the C# SDK libraries or using PowerShell. In either case, we can poll Dynamics 365 and monitor a particular solution to check whether it has been updated. Unfortunately, Dynamics 365 solutions do not support plugins or workflows which rules out an event-driven design.

This recipe will focus on the PowerShell option and will use Windows scheduling services to trigger the script on a predefined interval.

Getting ready

In order to monitor a solution, we will need a Dynamics 365 development environment containing a solution that we can update. In this recipe, we will use the Packt solution created in earlier chapters.

This recipe will focus on the PowerShell option...
