In one of my requirement I have to call my custom WCF service method from plug-in.

In this scenario my plug-in is WCF client and I have to read client binding configuration from plug-in.

Below are the ways you can read the binding configuration details from plug-in

• Synchronous plug-in
  • In case of synchronous plug-in, you can place binding configuration in root <web.config> file of CRM application server
  • Open the Web.config from path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\CRMWeb\web.config”
  • Find <System.ServiceModel> node and place the client binding configuration
  • After placing the configuration, the <System.ServiceModel> looks as below

• Asynchronous Plug-in
  • Since async plug-ins host on “CRM Async Service”, place the configuration details in “CrmAsyncService.exe.config” file
  • Open the “CrmAsyncService.exe.config” file from path “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Server\bin\CrmAsyncService.exe.config”
  • Add <System.ServiceModel> node and place the client binding configuration
  • After placing the configuration, the <System.ServiceModel> looks as below
