// Create the request.

ExportAllXmlRequest request = new ExportAllXmlRequest();

 

// Execute the request.

// Load the results into an XML document.

• Use the Sharepoint Web Services to save the XML to a Sharepoint List Library.
• Integrate directly into VSS.
• Edit the XML to add version information which is specific to your products.
• Integrate the Customizations.xml into an existing Visual Studio project.
• Extract the XML from one server and automatically deploy it to another (eg. Dev to Prod). Simply call the Export method of one server and then the Import & Publish methods of the other.
• Add some other web services methods into your tool. For example if you want to port the Price list from Dev/Test constantly you could read it out, save the objects as XML and then write them back to the target server.
• Consider running your Export as a nightly batch job - backing up customizations made to your development server.
• Writing the Import/Export as an ASP.NET application and then using ISV.config to add a button to CRM enabling you call your custom exporter from within CRM's web UI. You could even add a whole new 'Export Customizations' section to the application.
