CRM Online can't find Microsoft.Xrm.Client.dll

Hi all,

Today I was writing (and I am still) a Plug-in for CRM online 2011 and counter a error as:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xrm.Client, Version=5.0.9688.1154, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
It happens because in my project I reference to Microsoft.Xrm.Client.dll and in the CRM online server this DLL is not installed.

I think this client dll is not intended to be used in server environment and therefore is not installed in CRM server.

I founded the generated code from crmsvcutil actually required the client dll if you include following parameter in your generation command .
/codeCustomization:"Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration.CodeCustomization, Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration"
I re-generated the code file from crmsvcutil without the parameter and reload the project with an updated code file (Xrm.cs), recompile the project and it works :)

By the way, Happy 2012 :)

    Hej. I have a weird problem. I hav the microsoft.xrm.client.dll. If I check version number in explorer (right click->properties) I see the version number ends with .1155, but when i reference the dll in visual studio, I see the version of the dll, inside VS2010, end with .1154

    Do u know what the problem is?

    Not working.
    I am using this code after executing the plugin

    To get all the contacts I want to create a new object.
    var connection = CrmConnection.Parse("ServiceUri=myconnection");
    var service = new OrganizationService(connection);
    var context1 = new CrmOrganizationServiceContext(connection);

    var xrm = new XrmServiceContext(context1);

    This shows the same exception.

    How to solve this.

    Hi there. I found your web site by the use of Google even as searching for a similar matter, your web site came up. It appears to be good. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks to come back then.
