Code-first Dataverse plug-in development has stayed the same for years, with hardly any significant improvements. Because, why fix it if it ain't broken? On the other hand, a lot has changed for development and plug-ins were due for some much-needed upgrades.
In 2024 this finally happened, with Microsoft's newfound love of code-first development!

In this session, Yannick will discuss two of those new features in plug-in development. He will show a demo of Virtual Network integration, and how to configure, manage, and use it in plug-ins. Managed Identities are also finally a possibility in plug-ins, and Yannick will show why that is a massive enhancement for secure connectivity to Azure and other resources.

Understanding these new features and incorporating them into your developer workflow will improve the security posture of your code and environment, and will make building integrations so much more fun!
