How to view customized field in UI of dynamics 365 CRM using Plugin in C#

Question

I have created one customized field in contact module by using plugin in dynamic 365 crm. But, I am unable to see the field in the UI of contact field. I have tried with the following code. It is giving me "The type or namespace name 'SavedQuery' could not be found"

I have tried with "SavedQuery" to view the customized field in contact module.

My expectation is that I want to publish the customized field and should be visible to the UI by using plugin C#.

Answer 1

1. Create a solution.
2. Add table Contact to the solution. (Best practice is to add only the form you need to edit.)
3. Drag and drop the field you created on the form.
4. Save the form.
5. Publish the customizations.

The saved query you created is actually a view. It will be visible among the other standard views (All Contacts, My Contacts, Active Contacts etc.)
