There is a company that sales a CRM 2011 Visio Stencil Set which can be useful there is a older free one CRM 4.0 Visio Stencil, it's based on CRM 4.0 but it will still be helpful.

So, I believe I have found a bug in the Microsoft.Xrm.Client.dll which is shipped as part of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK.
My question is, is there a correct procedure for reporting bugs with the SDK and what is it?
At the moment I have posted something here: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/144464.aspx but I am not sure this is the correct place?
Official place for bugs in Microsoft products is Microsoft Connect site.
Go to http://connect.microsoft.com/directory/?keywords=dynamics+crm, press "Join" link in the corresponding line.
Product support is available direct from Microsoft, with different ontact points if this is an on-premises installation, CRM Online, or for developers with an MSDN subscription.
I'm using Visio 2013 to make UML deployment diagram. Unfortunately it doesn't support - it doesn't have any default template etc. Since last 10 hours and more I've been searching for some right tool that helps me make such diagrams. I didn't find any helpful tool yet. Please guide me.
If you want to create a deployment diagram that is similar to the ones you could make in earlier versions of Visio, I'd recommend going to this site and downloading their UML stencils for 2013.
You could also look at branching out a bit and using something like Archimate. You can look at section 9.4.14 in this document to see an example of a deployment/implementation viewpoint with Archimate. Orbus has a free download of the Archimate 2.0 stencils here. I think you have to go through a free registration, but they won't spam you.
How can I expose Dynamics CRM 2011 entities like lead, opportunities, etc. to be used in a EAI tool like BizTalk 2010?
Here is an article that talks about the different approaches that you can use to integrate the two server
So in real life, your choice as a BizTalk developer will have to be
either (a) deal with messiness of creating and consuming untyped
messages, or (b) build proxy services for BizTalk to invoke that take
in typed objects and communicate to Dynamics CRM. Ideally the
Microsoft team would ship a WCF behavior that I could add to the
BizTalk adapter that would do this typed-to-untyped translation both
inbound and outbound, but I haven’t heard any mention of anything like
that.
The Good, Bad and Ugly of Integrating Dynamics CRM 2011 and BizTalk Server 2010
I have used the Roedl BizTalk Adapter for CRM to do exactly this. Has saved me a lot of time in mapping untyped repeating nodes back and forth to our defined Entity types. Functionality is pretty similar to any other WCF-LOB Adapter.
Disclaimer: I don't work for Roedl, but the company I work for is currently looking at a partnering agreement with them.
I'm looking for information on writing an add-in for SharePoint Designer 2010. If you go to File->options there is a possibility to add COM add-in's, I would like to write one, preferably using C#.
Any pointers to documentation/examples?
What SharePoint specific classes are accessible?

I haven't tried it myself though.
I would like to use Visio to mockup a few ASP.NET interfaces that I can share with a client. I know I can create these using Visual Studio, but I would rather use a graphics tool if possible.
I have Visio 2007 that came with MS Office and I do not have any software or database templates. Does anyone know where I can find templates/stencils/shapes I can use for this?
If there are any other tools that I can use I'm open to that too. I'm leaning towards Visio because I already have it and know how to use it.
Thanks!
You can pull the parts from this PowerPoint template set: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20071018/powerpoint-prototype-toolkit-01/ and use them in Visio.
Visio 2010 comes with a really nice set of wireframe shapes, but you have to buy the Pro or Premium versions, as Standard doesn't come with them.
Previous versions of Visio had some Windows UI shapes, but I'm not sure which editions included them. They are usually located in the "Software" stencils sub-directory.
I've also got a smattering of downloads on my site that might augment your UI collection. Have a look here:
