Creating a solution using the Dynamics CRM Developer Toolkit template
The developer toolkit for Dynamics 365 is a Visual Studio add-on that simplifies building customization extensions for Dynamics 365, as well as helps deploying them to different Dynamics 365 instances.
In this recipe, we will walk you through installing the developer toolkit and starting a new solution using the template.
Getting ready
You will need to download the developer toolkit from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DynamicsCRMPG.MicrosoftDynamicsCRMDeveloperToolkit and install it on a development machine that has Visual Studio and the Dynamics 365 SDK already installed. You will also require the .NET framework 4.5.2 installed.
Note
At the time of writing, the developer toolkit is not compatible with Visual Studio 2017. It is recommended that you use the 2015 version. Older versions, 2012 and 2013, are also supported.
Once installed, you will need to set up the path to the SDK by navigating to Tools
