Subscribe to SDK assembly updates using NuGet

  • Article

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015

Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK assemblies and some command-line tools are available through a software distribution website called nuget.org. Use of NuGet packages in your application project enables you to keep your project up-to-date with the latest releases of the SDK assemblies and tools. Microsoft Visual Studio has supported this capability since version 2010 and there is even a standalone NuGet client for those developers that don’t develop in Visual Studio. Another advantage of using NuGet packages in your projects is that assembly references and dependencies are automatically taken care of for you. NuGet packages are available for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 SDK as well as for the previous versions – 2011 and 2013.
