During Part 7, we did a lot of work with asynchronous calls and it's often very difficult to test these because the calls to interfaces don't always return when you expect them to. Stephen Cleary helped me out here with the following blog. The result is that I have created a console application that you can use to test the async calls that we make to our CRMApi in the KylieBot project. See the link to the project here. Also, a couple of things to note during my experiments wi

In the previous post we created a CRMApi project. To deliver the value of the this project though, we need to publish the Api and connect to it from our Kylie Bot. Let's get started. First, right click on the CRMApi project and select 'Publish' like this: You should then be presented with this: Select the 'Microsoft Azure App Service' option and then the 'Create New' radio button and then click on the 'Publish' button.
