Retrieves the current metadata from an existing assembly to verify settings before updating it.

+```powershell
+# Download assembly from Dataverse
+$assembly = Get-DataverseRecord -TableName pluginassembly -FilterValues @{ name = "MyDynamicPlugin" } -Columns content

+# Decode and export to VS project
+$assemblyBytes = [Convert]::FromBase64String($assembly.content)

+# The output directory will contain:
+# - MyDynamicPlugin.cs (source code)

+# - MyDynamicPlugin.snk (strong name key for signing)
+
+# Open in Visual Studio or build from command line
+cd C:\Dev\MyPluginProject

+
+Exports a complete Visual Studio project that can be opened, modified, and rebuilt. The generated project includes all necessary files and configurations to build a plugin assembly identical to the original, including the strong name key for maintaining the same PublicKeyToken.

- Audit framework and package dependencies
- Retrieve the strong name key for manual builds
+- Export to a complete Visual Studio project for editing and rebuilding
+
+**Visual Studio Project Export:**
+When using the `-OutputProjectPath` parameter, the cmdlet generates a complete Visual Studio project in the specified directory containing:
+- **{AssemblyName}.cs**: The original C# source code
+- **{AssemblyName}.csproj**: A .NET Framework 4.6.2 project file with all package and framework references configured
+- **{AssemblyName}.snk**: The strong name key file used for assembly signing
+
+The generated project can be opened in Visual Studio or built using `dotnet build`. The resulting assembly will have the same strong name and PublicKeyToken as the original, ensuring compatibility when updating plugins in Dataverse.

Subject: [PATCH 4/7] feat: add connection-based retrieval to
Get-DataverseDynamicPluginAssembly
- Added new parameter sets: ById, ByName, VSProjectById, VSProjectByName
- Changed base class from PSCmdlet to OrganizationServiceCmdlet
- Added RetrievePluginAssembly method to query Dataverse
- Updated documentation with new examples
- Users can now retrieve plugin assemblies directly from Dataverse connection

and VS project export
- Added Step 13: Test connection-based retrieval by name
- Added Step 14: Test connection-based retrieval by ID
- Added Step 15: Test VS project export by name (generates .csproj, .cs, .snk files)
- Added Step 16: Test default connection usage (without -Connection parameter)
- Verify exported VS project contains correct source code with V2 marker
- Cleanup generated VS project directory after test

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fix: resolve base64 decoding error and connection
requirement in unit tests
- Fixed invalid base64 strings in test metadata (replaced "MIICXQIBAAKBgQC..." with actual valid base64)
- Generate valid base64-encoded mock keys using byte arrays for testing
- Override BeginProcessing() to skip connection validation for Bytes/FilePath parameter sets
- Only require connection for ById/ByName parameter sets that retrieve from Dataverse
- All 3 unit tests now passing
