Lab 7 - unable to generate the Entities.cs file with the Early Bound Generator from Daryl LaBar

[RobertRybaric]

This is new ,a month ago this was working properly. It is not possible to generate the Entities.cs, however the Optionsets.cs are working.

Generating the Entities.cs fails with the following error message:

You are running V1 of the XTB Early Bound Generator. If you Please consider upgrading to V2, which is much faster and has many more features! You are using an older, slower version of the the Early Bound Generator. Please consider installing the Early Bound Generator V2 from the XrmToolBox plugin store!

The lab was updated a few weeks ago by PR #142 to remove early bound and use of the Early Bound Generator If you are still seeing this in your lab environment, contact the ALH to update their lab steps

Thanks Julian, I see that goDeploy has not updated anything, also from my previous batch of issues.

Received update from GoDeploy

"The content team have made the necessary changes to Lab 7 of PL-400. The 2nd task within the lab has been made redundant and therefore has been removed. The rest of the lab reflects what is seen on GitHub."
