Programming Microsoft Dynamics® CRM 4.0

Chapter 5. Plug-ins

Plug-ins provide one of the most powerful customization points within Microsoft Dynamics CRM. As users work in the application, their actions cause Microsoft Dynamics CRM to trigger events that developers can use to execute custom business logic through the use of plug-ins. For example, you can register plug-ins to run business logic every time a user creates an account or deletes an activity. You can create plug-ins to run in response to a vast number of events, including plug-ins for custom entities. You can use plug-ins for a variety of features, such as synchronizing data to an external database, tracking changes in an audit log, or simply creating follow-up tasks for a newly created account.
