Is your R&D Tax Credits claim maximised?
In my experience many businesses are still not aware of the R&D Tax Credits incentive and many others believe that they don’t qualify. It is not uncommon for a trusted accountant to tell a business that they aren’t eligible, when in fact they are. On top of this I find that many businesses that do claim R&D Tax Credits are not claiming their full entitlement. (Let’s face it, HMRC are not going to tell you that your claim is understated.) Before I share with you five top tips to maximise your R&D Tax Credits claim, here is a little bit of background about this very generous incentive.
The R&D Tax Credits scheme has provided £15bn of R&D funding support to UK businesses. HMRC is responsible for administering and processing the R&D Tax Credits incentive (also known as R&D Tax Relief) through the Corporation Tax system. R&D Tax Credits rates have increased significantly since they were launched and today UK business can obtain a 26% rebate on their R&D expenditure, and this can rise to 33% for loss-making businesses. Eligible expenditure includes staff wages, agency labour, contractor costs, software licenses and consumables. To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your project is making an advancement in science or technology and that it addresses a number of technical issues and uncertainties that a competent professional would consider challenging.
Many businesses don’t realise that they are undertaking eligible qualifying activities. It is not uncommon for their accountants to forget to tell them about R&D Tax Credits or even to tell them that they don’t qualify. On many occasions I have found that those accountants are wrong. If your technical lead (the R&D manager, lead engineer, or lead developer) is struggling to overcome the technical challenges of your project – if they are scratching their head wondering how to proceed, or losing sleep worrying about the technical uncertainties they face – your project will almost certainly qualify for R&D Tax Credits.
It is not uncommon for businesses that do submit R&D Tax credits claims to do so for only some of their qualifying projects. As well as being able to claim for projects that are obviously breaking new ground, you can also claim R&D Tax Credits for projects aimed at making an appreciable improvement to existing technologies, and this may include product, process, and software technology enhancements. For example, it is possible to claim for designing and developing cost-effective and innovative operational processes, integrating new materials to improve product improvement and manufacturing and tool to extend the functionality of application software programs or of an operating system. We provide a more comprehensive list of the types of manufacturing and software projects that are eligible on our website at R&D Tax Credits (see the FAQs section).
An R&D team generally consists of many individuals from different parts of the business. Your R&D project team may include the R&D Manager, a Lead Developer, Engineers, Project Co-ordinators, CAD Engineers, Quality Control and Testing specialists, Cost Accountants, Admin Support staff, as well as members of the Senior Management team. You can claim for each of these roles in proportion to the amount of time they spend on your project.
It is amazing how many R&D Tax Relief claims don’t include all the eligible costs. For example, it is not uncommon for claims to miss off freelance contractors that are actively involved with the project. You can also claim for overseas contractors and this includes subsidiary costs, as long as these costs are included in the claimant’s P&L account. In fact, subsidiary costs are not restricted by the 65% unconnected contractor rule and it may be possible to claim 100% of the costs under a ‘look through test’.
I always recommend that you take a team approach when you prepare your R&D Tax Claim. This helps ensure that you capture all eligible projects, costs, and people that have been involved in qualifying R&D activities. In my opinion, the best person to lead the R&D tax claim process is your technical lead, ideally the Technical Director or the CTO, rather than a member of the finance team. This is because the first and most important step in making your claim is identifying all your eligible projects. This can ensure that you are claiming your full entitlement under the very generous R&D Tax Credits incentive.

A course in defensive driving, while not compulsory by law, is a MUST for your teen. As they make the exciting journey from passenger to driver, your child will face the same dangers on the roads as you do – and you know it takes a fair degree of skill to negotiate the hazards that any trip can throw at you. By encouraging them to take a defensive driving course, your teen will start their driving career equipped with the skills to recognise and avoid these hazards. As you try and persuade your teenage driver to take a course, you can use the following reasons to strengthen your argument.
If your teen completes a defensive driving course, they're rewarded with a six month reduction in their restricted licence period. What an incentive! This is the obvious place to start as you urge them to enrol in a course. This substantial carrot might be the only reason they do the course, but as long as they're learning to manage risks and avoid dangerous situations, does it really matter? Of course, the challenge for you as a parent is to ensure they continue to apply what they learn, and you can do this as a passenger. So that you can check their driving is defensive driving, why not do a course yourself? Any time is a good time to improve your driving skill, and as you monitor your child's progress behind the wheel, you really should be able to practice what you preach. Check out our advanced defensive driving courses for experienced drivers.
Our defensive driving courses are run through an organisation called Streettalk. The sessions are intense and interactive, with theoretical and practical elements involved. The course will teach your teen how to recognise risks on the road, and how to avoid them. Excessive speed, a failure to drive to the prevailing conditions and reckless overtaking are regular contributors to our appalling road toll. These issues and more will be covered in the course, and by being aware of them, your child can't help but be a safer driver.
Young motorists lack “driving intelligence”. They're short on experience. However, they're not lacking in enthusiasm as they revel in their new found independence. This youthful exuberance is often manifested in displays of excessive speed or foolish stunts while they're behind the wheel, often in an attempt to show off to their mates. Boys will be boys – and girls will be girls – but a defensive driving course will at least show them the consequences of their actions, and get them into the habit of actually thinking while they drive. They won't become an experienced driver overnight but they will become a smarter driver.
Young drivers are involved in more road accidents than anyone else. Young drivers are more likely to die or be hurt in a serious injury crash. In 2011, drivers aged 15-24 were involved in 80 fatal crashes, with primary responsibility for 71 of them. Obviously, these facts and figures are swirling around your head as you watch your teenage child learn to drive. This is an exciting time for them, and a worrying time for you. To alleviate your stress, and to maximise their driving skills and safety, you should encourage your child to book a few lessons with a qualified driving instructor and to enrol in a course in defensive driving. It's the best possible driver education your teen can receive, and much needed peace of mind for you! To learn more about our driving lessons in Auckland or across New Zealand, get in touch now.

After two great games of civil war against other High Elf armies it was time to face one of the archenemies - Warriors of Chaos. I had a great pleasure to play for the very first time against Chris and his legion of steel. We also played Meeting Engagement scenario. I find it always interesting as it may influence the deployment but not only in a negative way (when your war machines end up in reserves for instance) but also in a positive manner (when you have some fast units as reinforcements).
It also creates more choices to be made, in particular for the player who wins the roll off and has to pick one from four possible deployment zones. Personally, I prefer to lose that roll off and deploy when the enemy is already arrayed for battle, as that allows me to counter some threats better. On the other hand, with the diagonal deployment and against combat orientated armies like WoC, the distance between the armies can be shorter for my liking.
Sorcerer General - Not a popular choice for a leader as his Ld8 does not help regular troops much. But he is useful regardless, he is well protected and Scroll of Shielding can be surprisingly effective, especially in the combination with Mark of Tzeentch. This sorcerer does not have it so he potentially can join any unit as Marks prevent characters from joining regiments that are dedicated to another chaotic deity. The good thing for me here (and that applies to all characters) is that he is vulnerable to Spirit Leach due to Ld8 and only 2W. It is also possible to get him in combat with enough attacks but that is risky idea as his bodyguards will be dangerous enough to rather avoid one on one confrontation. Metal magic is a very good lore and it adds to the variety of tools this army has.
BSB - mandatory character in all armies in my opinion, here he is even more needed due to Ld8 and many frenzied units around. With 2+ armor and 5++ ward he is better protected than the general. Amulet is also very helpful here, in particular for that unlucky Look Out Sir! roll. He can hit hard too with his flail although that slightly reduces his armor as he cannot use the shield. Again, good character but not as tough as WoC can be!
Slaanesh Sorcerer - much faster wizard, with his marauders he can attempt vanguard and then move further behind enemy lines and cast very dangerous Choir. I have seen it done before and I needed to take some precautions as bubble version can easily nuke half of my army.
Nurgle Warriors - the usual suspects, hard to hit, tough and hard hitting too, these guys are better not engaged from the front. And they need to be attacked from the flanks preferably too. The good thing is they are slow and it will take them a little longer to reach my lines.
Marauders - designated bodyguards for the sorcerer, they are going to protect him to the last. With fast cavalry ability they will be very hard to catch but if I can cast a few fireballs at them they might melt quickly. Very good target for my shooting but I expect them to stay away from the open space unless Chris decides to go for some gamble and move them forward to cast some deadly spell.
Chariot - these are always a problem for my army and with T5 and 3+ armor I really wish I had some sisters of avelorn with me. They can take surprisingly lot of punishment and still have the same hitting potential. Mark of Khorne makes them even more dangerous as two charioteers pack 6A with S5! So even charged it can hit back. Potential target for bolt throwers and searing doom.
Knights - not as popular as long time ago, still very good unit. These have mark of Tzeentch and are obviously character bunker. They don't have ensorcelled weapons so I guess Chris wanted to improve his composition score with it. It does not mean they are less dangerous as their charge is going to be devastating. With Mark of Tzeentch and Scroll of Shielding they can also survive some nasty spells anyway. And their Blasted Standard will be very useful too, no matter what is going to hit them from afar.
Gorebeast Chariots - if regular chariot is bad these are far worse. T6 and 3+ save is really tough to go through for my elves. Fortunately, I have some fast heroes who can hurt these monsters and I will definitely look forward to doing so. They are a little slower than the cavalry so that also can be helpful. But there are 3 of them (or 4 with regular chariot) and that in itself is a problem. Bolt throwers may be helpful but since they are wounding on 4+ it is risky. Searing Doom of course is an option but my opponent knows that and it may be difficult to make it go through.
Skullcrushers - another hard hitting unit and there are two of them! Lances again to save some Swedish points but against squishy Elves it does not matter that much. Usually, frenzy can be exploited but with so many units dedicated to Khorne, it may not be that easy. They will be the primary target for the bolt throwers as with t4 I can potentially get one per turn (if I roll well on wounds). Other than that they can be eventually defeated even in combat but that requires good positioning on my part.
Chris has some tough army that can steam roll mine if I let it so general plan was to prevent that :) Because the units have different speed I expected slower warriors and knights in the middle of the formation (so that they can waste less time getting to any flank or moving forward, depending on my deployment), crushers on the sides and chariots probably in between. Marauders may or may not be at the back (depends on terrain). Of course a lot depends on the rolls on reinforcements and who is going to deploy first.
Even if I were to be the player who does so I would stay away from that army. First, I need to divide it and have more time to weaken it. Second, I can still lose the initiative on a lucky roll of 6 and then I am in even bigger trouble. I also think Chris would adopt tight formation because he does not care that much about flanks and his chariots can always pivot and put me in a dangerous position.
I of course planned to use some diverting to mess up with the cohesion of the formation but I will need good shooting and magic to punch some wholes I can later exploit.
I wanted to add some discussion on terrain. I find it very important yet very often completely omitted. And I have a lot to learn in terms of how to predict where the enemy might deploy his units and how to use that to my advantage. This part is then to try and have a closer look at it and hopefully it will help me in my future games.
There are two hills, two forests that are mysterious terrain, a swamp in front of one of the hills and dangerous terrain on the right flank. First, I wanted to have a look at what would I take if I won the roll off.
Top right corner was immediately excluded because the hill blocks line of sight and I need clear vision to be able to put my shooting and magic to the best use. I wanted to adopt defensive formation in some kind of a crescent with shooters in the corner and hard hitters on the flanks.
From that point of view top left looked better because it didn't have any particular obstructions. The hill could have been used for bolt throwers although it was relatively close to the enemy deployment. However, second hill could have been used for some outflanking and swamp may have been ignored with careful deployment.
Bottom left looks empty but that might be an advantage here. The left hill protects the flank a little against reinforcements, the enemy might need to go through the forests which sometimes may be a dangerous thing to do if they happen to get into venomous woods. Swamp also looks more difficult to avoid or may force the army to be divided which is already good for me. I think that would be my choice.
Bottom right was second best in my opinion because it still provided some defensive options (dangerous terrain against chariots is always a good thing to have).
Hence, if I were Chris and won the roll off I would probably pick bottom left as that would put Elves in a difficult spot. Either deploy far but limit line of sight or deploy closer and risk combat too early. In particular that he would most likely have the first turn too.
Chris won the roll-off, picked top left corner and deployed his army first.
One unit of skull crushers and one gorebeast chariot were in the reserves while on the Elven side Eagle Rider and Reavers were kept in reinforcements. I must admit that on the diagram my army looks very fragile!
Chris did what he probably should have done without knowing where the enemy is going to be and positioned his army in the middle of the board, as close as possible.
I didn't manage to steal the initiative and Chris proceeded to his first turn!
Despite one unit of Skullcrushers and one Chariot being in reserves, the order was the same - march forward! Warriors moved in a disciplined way and maintained tight formation. Wrath of Khorne would reach cowardly Elves anyway!
Outcasts decided that attack is the best form of defense and charged! Valiant Noble decided to take on a Gorebeast chariot all by himself, won combat but the warriors were not done yet! On the other flank Dragon princes charged another of the monstrosities and were also aided by the reavers. It was probably reckless because the crew killed 3 of the lightly armored riders, despite being under the influence of the spell that slowed down their movements. Elves won that combat but again, warriors didn't want to go anywere.
Last but not least the bolt thrower crews aimed at the Skullcrushers and destroyed one of the juggernauts with well placed single bolt.
Chaos reinforcements have arrived from the North and it started to look bad for the Elves. First, Chaos Sorcerer destroyed entire unit of Dragon Princes with a single spell. That meant the warriors had no problem with finishing off remaining reavers and gorebeast was free to move although it was not frenzied anymore.
The other chariot, however, lost again to the noble hero, who drunk magical liquid that gave him unnatural strength and managed to wound the beast again. He was not fast enough to catch it in pursuit though.
Eagle rider arrived too and landed on the left flank to threaten enemy from that direction. Dragon Princes avoided the Warriors but put themselves in the harms way of the gorebeast chariot.
Mounted noble chased down the machine that failed to rally and destroyed it for good! Lions, also overcame by the blood rage, charged into third gorebeast and ... could not break it either!
Fortunately Bolt Throwers did their usual job and yet another Skullcrusher was dead.
Dragon Princes fled from the gorebeast as planned but their feigned flight was a little bit too enthusiastic and they were spotted by Chaos Knights. Elves were not fast enough to change direction and were caught in pursuit.
Lions were flank charged by the Skullcrushers but a single warrior survived and held the line for a little bit longer. Then Chaos Sorcerer cast his spell that surprisingly did more damage to his unit than to the enemy.
The situation looked serious but the enemy was not yet at close range and its army seemed to be divided. Elves took the chance and Eagle Noble attacked yet another gorebeast chariot, broke it but haven't finished in pursuit just yet. Last skull crusher from the first depleted unit was finished though!
Chaos Warriors charged but the Elves decided it is not yet the right time to do so and withdrew. Would that be enough to buy time to thin the enemy down further?
Unfortunately, mounted Noble was hunted down by the vicious Slaanesh Sorcerer.
Light troops took one for the team and blocked the advance of the chaos warriors one more time. Eagle Rider finished off the gorebeast at last but was quite far away from the main fight. Is he going to save the day?
What are you going to do now, squishy Elves?
Skullcrushers took the bait and attacked the eagle. Wounded gorebeast chariot attempted to charge as well but failed. Regular chariot destroyed the Reavers but momentum took it into nearby ruins where it was reduced to splinters!
Depleted Knights decided not to take chances against Swordmasters and moved around them and joined forces with the infantry.
Archers show their martial prowess!
In a bold move the Loremaster led his Archers into close combat against exposed flank of Skullcrushers. Together they destroyed one of the beasts, won combat, broke their enemy and caught in pursuit! That is something nobody really expected!
Swordmasters moved to intercept the Knights and enemy infantry. What would they do though?
The leaders of the Chaos army decided to go for an easy kill that would lead them away from the enemy elite infantry. They attacked one of the war machines and destroyed it easily.
Slaanesh Sorcerer didn't give up either and claimed another victim, this time eagle rider! Only warriors didn't manage to catch the enemy after long march.
Last word, however, belonged to Elves. Wounded gorebest chariot was finally put down! Larry the Loremaster tried to reach marauders with his fireball but failed to kill them.
Fortunately, timely attack of Swordmasters brought victory as they cut through the Warriors from the flank, broke them and caught them in pursuit.
After blood battle Elves emerged victorious!
First of all I would like to thank Chris for a great game! He pushed me hard and he was very close to get me but luck smiled upon me in the last turns! Thanks a lot, Chris!
As the composition score was not that different I didn't get many bonus points and in the end I got 12-8 victory which I was very happy about. It was indeed a very bloody battle so I am glad I managed to win against Warriors of Chaos and even did so in combat too!
But as always there are things I noticed I could done better, different or simply can think about the alternatives.
First of all the reckless charge of the reavers to the flank of the gorebeast chariot was simply a mistake. I didn't bring much to that combat but allowed Chris to swing it better to his favor. With DP's alone I had much better chance to break the chariot as with Iceshard they would have hit me on 5+ instead of 4+ and I also had armor and ward save to factor in. I thought Lions would do better but they failed too (I wonder if I failed fear test) and instead of overrunning into a Skullcrusher I lost another unit. With these 2 bad decisions I lost 3 regiments I needed.
I liked the charge with the lone noble against another gorebeast. It worked well as he is well protected and Potion of Strength helped here too. Just a pity I didn't reform him after catching it as it would have put more pressure on nearby marauders.
I wonder if I should have charged with Dragon princes instead of using them as a bait. Maybe I should have tried to hold instead? I wanted gorebeast forced to hold the charge against the eagle rider but it was another exchange, especially after I lost 3 regiments already.
I can't remember which spells I tried against Tzeentch Knights but I think it was Searing Doom as with Blasted Standard regular shooting was inefficient. I must say I am glad two bolt throwers destroyed whole unit of crushers too!
It was quite unlucky for Chris to lose his Chariot in the ruins but that was my only chance to stop it and somehow it worked.
Then two flanking charges that killed two powerful enemy units were just great! These last combats meant that I managed to pull out a victory in the last possible moment.

In preparation for going to see a matinee performance of Guillaume Tell at The Metropolitan Opera I went for a run in the morning (it’s a 5 hour opera). I completed my shopping at the green market, picked up a paper and a coffee earlier than usual. I mentally prepared myself to listen beyond the less than complimentary review published by the New York Times a couple of weeks prior. The main complaint about the show has become a common one with Peter Gelb at the helm, staging. Specifically setting the action in the abstract. I also set out early to make the 12 o’clock curtain because I live uptown (Inwood aka upstate Manhattan) and the A-train has been recently replaced by a bus between 207th and 168th Street on weekends. I made it to Lincoln Center in comfortable time. My seat was one of the best in the house (it was a gift). This co-production between The Met and the Dutch National Opera of Rossini’s last opera, Guillaume Tell, was the first time it has been sung in French at the Met and the first time they’ve done the opera in decades. The conductor, Fabio Luisi, was really great. It was alarming to me that he could make that famous, maybe even overplayed overture really expressive and fresh. The main characters had great voices most notably Marina Rebeka as Mathilde. The look of the production seemed to be loosely aping rebel forces (the oppressed) versus imperial forces (the oppressors) a la the movie, Star Wars. There were three large white neon pillars for the forces of good and one giant red neon pillar for evil. The costumes were loose linen oatmeal colored wraps for the rebels and steampunk, black leather suits and top-hats for the men, overlarge bustles for the women for the imperials (the soldiers had steel grey chain-mail vests and skull caps). Gesler, the bass, John Relyea, had a smooth steel grey skullcap which covered half of his face…not dissimilar from the Phantom of The Opera. These are examples of what I had to focus past in order to absorb the music and story. Gerald Finley was excellent as the title character and Janai Brugger as Jemmy (his son) had an incredible voice. The whole cast really all just had top notch, gorgeous voices (the women were stronger than the men in my opinion). My seat neighbor was a charming, elderly lady whom bid me adieu with, “that’s enough for me” at the end of the fourth act. Previously she said that initially she was thrown by the modernity of the production but got into it. Little did she know that her exit couldn’t have been better timed. I got back to my seat after a plastic glass of ridiculously priced Merlot prepared to witness the fate of our hero and his son. We waited. The doors were closed. Security guys were just standing by the doors. Nothing happening. The start of the final act was taking too long, what’s up? No musicians entered the orchestra pit to tune up/warm up. Finally a house manager came out and said that they were experiencing a snag backstage but that everyone was okay and it would be a little while longer. The audience grew restless after a while longer passed. A rhythmic clap began among some as though to elicit an encore….the house manager (I assumed) came back, apologized and said that the production was over!! A man began yelling “I want my money back, I want my money back” to which other audiences members retorted “Shut up!”. The house manager resumed with a suggestion to contact customer service and to please come back to see Guillaume Tell. NO FURTHER explanation. I had my focus set on this production, I prepared for it, I overlooked the aspects I disliked, I very much enjoyed the music…cut off. Unfinished. I was furious. Did a diva throw a fit? Did a wealthy Trump patron somehow sabotage the show? What happened to, “THE SHOW MUST GO ON”???
“Today’s performance of Guillaume Tell was canceled during the second intermission because of a disturbance by an audience member, who sprinkled an unidentified powdered substance into the orchestra pit. The NYPD is investigating the incident,” the statement read.
“We have spoken to more than one witness, who said they spoke to an individual from out of town who indicated he was here to sprinkle ashes of a friend, his mentor in opera, during the performance. That is certainly an area which we’re pursuing,” John Miller, New York police deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism told CNN.
Miller said police know the man’s identity but won’t release his name.
Officials at the Met appeared relieved at the prospect that the substance could have been ashes.
“This was taken very seriously by the Met,” Peter Gelb, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, told CNN.
“Ashes of an opera-loving mentor being sprinkled into the pit, although inconveniencing all of us, is a far cry better than anything else,” Gelb said.
NOT QUITE SURE what Gelb means. One jerk disrupts the opera, the performers, the audience members and that’s better than WHAT??

@flopp thanks for reporting. It should be fixed as of November last year (https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors/commit/5f16b2209b1e88cd381f9c923280af9def67e575) Where did you find it?
I think I have very old MySensor library, 1 year at least.

The throat chakra is the fifth chakra. Before we get into the throat chakra meditation, I want to give you a good understanding of what this chakra does. If you already know about the throat chakra, jump down to the meditation. If not, here we go.
The throat chakra is located in the throat. More specifically, it is right at the V on the collarbone at the lower neck. It is the center of communication, sound and expression of your creativity through speech, thought and writing. This is the chakra you feel when you are forced to speak in front of a large crowd and your throat feels tensed up. It also is the feeling when you bottle up rage and anger and would like to say something, but choose not to. Through the throat, we express our opinions, beliefs and truths. This chakra regulates your ability to speak up for yourself and make decisions.
I recall a time where I was nervous to speak what was truly on my mind. I wouldn’t express myself even though I wanted to. I decided to focus on opening this chakra and really felt how blocked it was. With each deep breath I took, I felt my throat start to loosen up more and more. I even burped quite a few times and felt my throat get more and more relaxed the longer I focused on it. After the meditation, I found myself being much more open and expressive and it felt great! Now, I rarely have trouble speaking what is on my mind or in front of others. I remember to balance my chakras from time to time and always notice I'm more open every time. If you have to speak in front of others, are about to go to a social gathering, or on a date and feel nervous about talking to others, open this chakra up before hand and you will notice a huge difference in your comfort with speaking.
When the throat chakra is lacking energy flow, a person will have a fear of speaking. Their voice will sound weak and faint and they will have difficulty putting feelings into words. They will often be shy. If the throat chakra is excessively open, the person will talk too much and will not listen as much as they should. These people are known to be gossipers. The body may even react with throat soreness and pain in the teeth when this chakra is out of balance.
To heal and open the throat chakra, sing loudly! Take a nice shower and sing your heart out. You can also start a discussion on any topic with someone else to get yourself expressive and talking. If you struggle with communication, learn communication skills and practice them. You can also write someone a nice letter. The throat chakra is related to the color blue, so wearing blue or eating blue foods will help in opening and unblocking this chakra. Gemstones that aid in healing the throat chakra are aquamarine, sapphire, blue tourmaline and sodalite.
For this exercise, you're going to want to already know how to meditate. If you aren't quite sure, you can check out this easy Beginner Meditation guide and learn how. Once you're in a relaxed meditative state, focus on bringing energy up through your feet with every inhale. Flow the energy through each of your four previous chakras and up to your throat. With each deep inhale, imagine a blue energy glowing around your throat growing bigger and bigger. Exhale all negativity and blocks from the throat and replace them with vibrant blue energy. You may feel your throat muscles loosening up and might even burp. This is perfectly normal. Focus on breathing energy into your throat as long as you feel necessary and your throat feels open and relaxed. Once you have done this, you may move on to the Third Eye Chakra.

One of the nice features we have in the Advanced Developer Extensions for CRM4 (since sdk v4.0.12) was the ability to define the connection details inside the connectionStrings section in the web.config file. However, this facility was missing in the early versions of the CRM2011 SDK. However, the latest update of the CRM SDK (March) has finally included this feature. In fact, this is one of many extended set of features known as Developer Extensions (note the missing "Advanced" word from CRM4).
If you need to use Active Directory authentication, then you may include the user account details in the connectionString as follows.
For CRM Online we have DeviceID and DevicePassword parameters instead of Domain.
Please note that these new classes are part of a new assembly Microsoft.Xrm.Client.dll. So you need to add this assembly to your project as a reference.
Alternatively, you may also use the value you usually include inside the connectionString directly in the code. This method is particularly useful if your connection details are not static (i.e. you dynamically get the values). The bellow code segment shows how you can create a CrmConnection by using this method.
