This SDK contains a wealth of resources, including code samples, which are designed to help you build powerful vertical applications using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform. It is a guide for developers writing solutions, server-side code, client applications and extensions, custom business logic, plug-ins, integration modules, custom workflow modules and more. The SDK contains an architectural overview of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the entity model, security model, web services, and sample code.

The code samples, tools, and other supporting files are located in the download package, available here: Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 SDK.

New samples can be browsed and downloaded online at MSDN Code Gallery and samples which do not use Microsoft Visual Studio are available at https://github.com/dynamicscrm

Before you use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK, you should review Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 Readme.

You should also read Deploying and administering Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015, which is located on Microsoft TechNet, or is available for download. Detailed instructions for installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 for Outlook, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2015, and other related software are provided in this guide.

Tip

You can print portions of the SDK documentation from the compiled help file (CHM). However, you should probably not include the Programming reference in your print job due to its size.

The search tab in the CHM file supports the use of wildcards. For example, searching for IOrg* will return all topics that refer to the IOrganizationService Web service.
