FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a Dataverse C# plugin using IPlugin?

Best practices for Dataverse plugin registration involve using secure, repeatable deployment patterns to register steps, messages, and entity images. This Skill defines requirements for configuring plugin registrations safely within a sandbox environment to ensure reliable deployments.

Can I use FakeXrmEasy for Dataverse plugin unit testing?

Yes, you can use FakeXrmEasy for Dataverse plugin unit testing to validate behavior before deployment. This Skill provides testing approaches that utilize FakeXrmEasy to mock the IPlugin execution context and simulate sandbox considerations for robust unit tests.

What are entity images in a Dataverse plugin and when do I need them?

Entity images in a Dataverse plugin are snapshots of record data passed to the execution pipeline before or after an event. You need them to compare field states or access related data, and this Skill provides patterns for using context images and shared variables effectively.

Does Dataverse plugin execution work in a sandbox environment?

Dataverse plugin execution works in a sandbox environment, which restricts external access to ensure safe server-side execution. This Skill outlines sandbox considerations and safety practices to validate your plugin behavior and avoid runtime limitations during deployment.
