Synchronous plugin

Question

Studying on the Microsoft Dynamics 365, I came across the information that there is the possibility of extension of the tool on the server, creating plugins síncronos or assíncronos.

Microsoft has an asynchronous information session (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328021.aspx), but there’s nothing about the synchronous.

Looking at the page above, I was able to understand and abstract the concept of an asynchronous plugin, but I can not find any material on the synchronous plugins, let alone make a parallel on the standard definition of the two media and understand the concept.

I wonder if there is any material about synchronous plugins, or if you could answer me, so I can understand how they work, what they do and what are their limitations.

Answer 1

The Sincrono Plugin performs its operation on the main thread of the Entity, that is, while it is not done, the other plugins or executions are not performed until this plugin is finished, it basically hangs the execution until it is executed and finished.

The Asynchronous plugin performs its operation in the background, that is, it does not lock the system and even if it has not finished running, the other executions and plugins will run, as this is running in a background thread.
