Greetings Everyone,

The CRM team has given us another great example that allows us to import data into CRM Entities that are not normally supported by the import feature.

It supports most of the common numeric and text-based attributes as well as standard and custom CRM Entities.

You'll need Visual Studio 2005 to compile it into an executable, however.

Beyond just the basic added functionality of this utility, the source code contains a wealth of techniques that any CRM developer will find useful.  Everything from the use of Dynamic Entities, to reading a .CSV file, to the proper use of threading.

You’ll find it here on MSDN: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0: Bulk Import.

This example came at exactly the right time for me as I am implementing custom import processes for three separate customers.  Seems like I owe someone a beer. :)>

Later, Mitch

Dynamics CRM
