We're creating an Activity via a Manual Workflow on the Order. When creating
an Activity from that starting point, you only have access to fill a handful
of fields (Assign To, Type, Subject, Description, Priority, and Due Date).
We need the Activity that's created from this starting point to be able to
fill some customized fields that we have on the Task. The only way we
figured out that we might be able to accomplish this is by adding an assembly
call to the Worfklow. I'm not familiar with coding an assembly callout for
CRM in .NET. Does anyone know what resources I could use to figure out how
to write this code? Any books or websites that you would recommend? Maybe
some with example code?

Hi Bacons,

SDK is a good start, if you have not downloaded it yet then
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9c178b68-3a06-4898-bc83-bd14b74308c5
is your best friend.

As far as documentation is concerned,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa685987.aspx is the place to
start.

http://www.amazon.com/Working-Microsoft-Dynamics-CRM-3-0/dp/0735622590 is
the only book I'm aware of - it's got some samples of the custom workflow
assemblies.

The rest is scattered around the newsgroups and blogs - google and you shall
find.

Hope this helps
