  I guess, your assembly does not have public constructor with no parameters. If so, add a public constructor without any parameters in addition to the existing public constructor with parameters.

  Hope this helps.

  Hi,

  thanks for your reply,

  I have tried putting in a constructor with 0 parameters but unfortunately no luck.

  here is the error that I get.

  I have resolved this issue.

  I created a new crm 2011 workflow activity (as a wrapper workflow activity) which internally calls a class that references crm 4 assemblies. by doing this it easily gets registered on CRM 2011, and works like a charm.

  let me know if someone needs details.

  cheers

  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Text;
  using System.Activities;
  using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
  using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Workflow;
  using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk;
   
  
  namespace MyWorkflows
  {
    public class MyNewWorkflow : CodeActivity
    {
      
      protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)
      {
        //Activity code
  
        //Create the tracing service
        ITracingService tracingService = executionContext.GetExtension<ITracingService>();
  
        //Create the context
        IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
        IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
        IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
  
        try
        {
  
          // call your crm 4 code from here 
           InvoiceDebt pInvoiceDebt = new InvoiceDebt(service);
  
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
          Common.Logging.WriteError(ex);
  
        }
  
      }
  
    }
  }
  

  the code pasted above is the class to get the context and then pass the IOrganizationService object to the crm 4 code.

  hope it helps.

  I apologize if this seems novice but does this wrapper also support the older formats of Crmnnumber, CrmInput, etc.

  I am trying to use the code from the Sonoma Partners book to calculate field on related entities. I use this all over another database and I find it frustrating that the code is so different this time around.

  Thanks for any help offered

  What type of object is expected in the InvoiceDebt constructor?  Don't you have to relate it to an ActivityExecutionContext of CRM4?

  Thanks.
