WebResourceLinker for CRM 2013 & Visual Studio 2013 CTP

Gayan Perera, 18 September 2013

We’ve gotten a lot of requests asking about WebResourceLinker compatibility with CRM 2013 and Vistual Studio 2013 CTP. If you don’t know what WebResourceLinker is, it’s a Visual Studio addon that allows developers to quickly publish CRM Web Resources while staying within the IDE.

The good news is, if you’re on Visual Studio 2012, this tool works perfectly well with a Dynamics CRM 2013 organization without having to change anything.

However if you’re trying this on a Visual Studio 2013 CTP machine then you’ll need to make a simple change.

1. Follow the installation instructions on http://webresourcelinker.codeplex.com/
2. Don’t open Visual Studio 2013 CTP after copying the files to \Addins\ folder
3. Open the WebResourceLinker.AddIn file
4. Locate the line “<Version>11.0</Version>”
5. Change it to “<Version>12.0</Version>”
6. Save & Close then open Visual Studio 2013

Enjoy!
