Sean - Many thanks for your tutorial. I have been trying to accomplish this
using OnChange and OnSave events (to put the GUID into each of the entities
I needed the id) with minimal success. Your solution worked like a charm!
It took me quite a while as this is the first time I've ever attempted
something like this, so here is a suggestion or 2 to make your tutorial even
easier for other newbies:
1) When you say to copy the .dll created in VS to the directory on the CRM
server, might want to give the path to the .dll you are meaning. Perhaps I
did something wrong, but I found ~3 identically named .dll's in the project
I created.
2) Midway through your tutorial you jumped into using the SDK - lost me
totally here :-). Took a while to figure out I could skip that section.
3) Some more pictures would be helpful in the VS section. Had a bit of
difficulty figuring out how to add a class, etc. so i ended up just copying
and pasting your entire code into the work area and crossing my fingers . .
. worked great however!
All minor suggestions - Thanks again so much for the time you spent on this!
