Data8.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client 1.0.0

Data8 .NET Core Client SDK for On-Premise IFD Dynamics 365

The Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client package provides an SDK for connecting to Dataverse & Dynamics 365 instances from .NET Core, but relies on OAuth authentication. This poses a problem when you need to connect to an on-premise instance that either does not support OAuth, or where the OAuth tokens regularly expire and cannot be automatically refreshed.

This package Data8.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client builds on top of the Microsoft one and offers an alternative IOrganizationService implementation using WS-Trust. This allows you to connect using the URL of the organization service, username and password without any additional configuration.

Because this OnPremiseClient implements the same IOrganizationService as the standard ServiceClient implementation your code can work with either as shown in the sample code below.

Sample

using Data8.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client;
using Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;

var onPrem = new OnPremiseClient("https://org.crm.contoso.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc", "AD\\username", "password!");
var online = new ServiceClient("AuthType=ClientSecret;Url=https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com;ClientId=637C79F7-AE71-4E9A-BD5B-1EC5EC9F397A;ClientSecret=p1UiydoIWwUH5AdMbiVBOrEYn8t4RXud");

CreateRecord(onPrem);
CreateRecord(online);

void CreateRecord(IOrganizationService svc)
{
	var entity = new Entity("account")
	{
		["name"] = "Data8"
	};

	entity.Id = svc.Create(entity);
}
