# .NET Plugins

SanteDB allows developers to extend functionality on the iCDR or dCDR by implementation of .NET plugins. A .NET plugin allows developers to:

* Modify the core data structures in the iCDR or dCDR using update files
* Writer higher performing business rules and triggers on CDR events.
* Write custom behaviors for matching, patching, queueing, etc.
