Dynamics CRM Tools

Hi folks! Today, I released a new version of my tool Metadata Document Generator It now uses a new UI, a new assembly for Excel generation ( Gembox.Spreadsheet ) and prepare the future with a new wizard style behavior. New features will come in coming months since it is now easier to add features. Some screenshots As usual, the tool is available on CodePlex

I’m pleased to announce that I updated my tool to generate metadata documentation.

Hope it will help you more than ever to build documentation!

So, as many people, your read the Preview Guide for Q2 2012 Service Update and can’t wait anymore to test all these new features? You can test it now! Microsoft release a public beta version yesterday. Just remember that this Q2 2012 Service Update is also known as Release 8, which is not Update Rollup 8.

There is no migration path from the beta to the final release , so please plan accordingly and use appropriate test environments. There are elements of upcoming release that are not included in the beta, for example Mobility or CRMOnline specific features are not offered as part of the beta but ...

If you are used to follow my blog, you know I developed some tools around Dynamics CRM 2011 ribbons: Ribbon Browser and Ribbon Editor . I think these tools are not useful anymore, since Develop 1 provides an incredible tool, packaged in a CRM 2011 solution that allows you to design ribbons using drag and drop in an amazing UI. It is now just a matter of minutes to add a new control on a ribbon (not only buttons). See the list of supported item below: To download this tool, just go to develop 1 website This tool is still in beta version but is much better than any other tool I know. It promises the best for future release!
