  • It sounds like you created a Console Application project in Visual Studio, whereas a plugin should be a Class Library project.

    You should be able to change the Output type to 'Class Library' in the project properties to correct this

  • That is correct.  I was able to reproduce.  Please right-click on project, select properties and change from Console application to class library.

  • So this error typically occurs with console apps when your code doesn't have a Main.  Is your plugin inheriting from interface IPlugin and you implemented the method Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)?  If you can provide code, that would be good.

  • Check the code !! Please

    using System;
    using System.ServiceModel;

    // Microsoft Dynamics CRM namespace(s)
    using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
    using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;

    namespace Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Samples
    {

        public class AccountPlugin : IPlugin
        {

            public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceprovider)
            {
                ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)
                   serviceprovider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
