Background:

Before last year, we could upload web resources in batches according to the directory WebResourceUtility. Yesterday, we found that it was useless. It was not very convenient to get the source code of WebResourceUtility and change it. I felt that the official code was too redundant and too long, which was not in line with my simple and rude idea. I just accidentally read a code of uploaded resources, so I just wrote a code by myself to upload w according to the directory Tools for EB resources.

Tools:

LinqPad 5

Microsoft Dynamics SDK 9.0

XrmToolBox

The old rules first show the renderings:

Files contained in directory

After creating web resources in batch, publish

Solution add existing resources

Problem extension:

After the batch upload of web resources, you still need to manually select the web resources to replace the entity icon. Here you can find the iconator plug-in in the plug-in market of xrmtoolbox
