Sample: Web resource utility
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015
Manually creating Web resources one at a time using the customization tools can take a long time when you have to create many files. The Web Resource Utility is a WPF application project that you can compile and run to import many Web Resource eligible files from a folder structure with a consistent naming convention based on the folder structure.
The Web Resource Utility sample project is included with the downloadable files for the SDK at SDK\Tools\WebResourceUtility.

For more information, see the Readme.docx file.
The solution must be built in Microsoft Visual Studio before running. Double-click the “WebResourceUtility.sln” to open the source code in Microsoft Visual Studio. Open and view the Solution Explorer.
This solution uses linked files and requires access to the following files also found in the SDK downloadable files in order to compile:
In the DataAccess folder:
sdk\samplecode\cs\helpercode\CrmServiceHelpers.cs
sdk\samplecode\cs\helpercode\deviceidmanager.cs
sdk\samplecode\cs\helpercode\myorganizationcrmsdktypes.cs

Demonstrates
In addition to creating and updating Web Resources, the Web Resource Utility code demonstrates several applications of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update APIs:
Managing connections
The Web Resource Utility preserves connections to multiple Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update servers so the user doesn’t need to enter connection information each time.Retrieving data about solutions
The Web Resource Utility retrieves data about available unmanaged solutions and creates Web Resources using the customization prefix defined by the publisher of the solution.
