MS CRM 3.0.5 SDK

A very helpful resource is the Software Developer's Kit (SDK) from MS. Here is a link to the latest version that was released on 6/26/06:

The SDK has samples of code for advanced functionality-all with syntax that has the blessing from Microsoft...which is always good because of the guarantee of compatability with the next version.

Running .Net Framework 1.1x and 2.0

I recently came across this problem of needing both .Net Frameworks on a crm server. When installing sql server 2005, .net 2.x is installed on the server. In order to "grandfather" the 1.1x on the server, you need to install the .net 1.1x framework before the sql server 2005.

Here are the links for .Net Framework 1.14
