Upgrading 3.0 callouts to 4.0 plugins?

  There are no code conversion tools, and I wouldn't expect there to be any, as the callout and plug-in models are very different. CRM 3.0 callout code should work fine with CRM 4.0 (though check the CRM 4.0 SDK to see if your code does something that's no longer supported - e.g. interact with workflow) but is highly unlikely to be supported in CRM 5.0

  I have a 3.0 callout

   

  I am not able to register it even though it worked as as a callout in crm 4.

   

  When I try registering it with the registration tool.  It will not register.  The reason is that the callout is crmnodetype assembly and the tool is looking for a plugin type.  So I'm guessing that I do have to rewrite the callout.  Anyone else run into this?

  Your 3.0 callouts work in CRM 4.0 with minimal to 0 (zero) code change.  You don't need to register your callout as a plugin and in fact you cannot.  Your options are to either leave it as a callout and leave it alone until we see what happens with version 5.0, or you change the code now so that it works as a plugin and not a callout any more.

   

  Here is a link to a blog post that discusses upgrading custom code from 3.0 to 4.0:

  Hope this helps a bit.
