How and When Problem Occurs

I recently installed Microsoft Dynamic CRM 2016 on one of our Development environment.

I have some custom tool which connect to MS CRM.

I give it a try to run my tool who was having MS CRM 2013 SDK Dll’s.

I got an exception when I tried to execute a Core CRM operation.

 

For Example : Refer to highlighted text in below code.

public static IOrganizationService getOrgnizationService()

{

try

{

string environment = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Environment"];

 

// using ConnectionString Name

CrmConnection connection = new CrmConnection(environment);

OrganizationService proxy = new OrganizationService(connection);

 

WhoAmIRequest request = new WhoAmIRequest();

WhoAmIResponse response = (WhoAmIResponse)proxy.Execute(request);

 

return proxy;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

throw ex;

}

}

Exception :

{"Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://03rnb-***************:5555/afcrmcustomercentral/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc?wsdl=wsdl0'."}

Inner Exception : {"There is an error in XML document (1, 1243)."}

Solution :

When connecting to MS CRM 2016, we need to refer MS CRM 2016 SDK DLL’s.

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk version – 8.0.0.0

Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Proxy version – 8.0.0.0

You can download MS CRM 2016 SDK from here.

Note :

MS CRM 2016 SDK require minimum .NET Framework 4.5.2 to be installed in your Visual Studio.
