CRM SDK is now also available from the Visual Studio extension NuGet. This extension is a provider of third party packages where anyone can participate and publish their own ones. This makes very easy to add third party assembly references.
- Install NuGet in Visual Studio from “Tools => Extensions and Updates”
- Once NuGet is installed, create a Visual Studio Project (a library for example) and make right click on the Visual Studio project where the CRM SDK assemblies will be used. Select “Manage NuGet Packages…”
- Choose the Online option on the left menu and search for “crmsdk“. A list with all the CRM SDK assemblies published by Microsoft will be presented. Choose the corresponding assembly based on its version.

- New library reference have been added automatically to the chosen project:
