App not accessible to certain users in Dynamics 365 (CRM)

Recently we created a new App for one our clients and gave permission to appropriate security roles to access those App.

But still some users were not able to access the App.

Eventually we realized the Security Roles (custom one) assigned was not having Read permission on App to access it.

This fixed the issue.

System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers while using HttpUtility.UrlEncode in CRM

Hi,

We got the below error in one of our Sandboxed Plugins

“System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers”.

We realised it was because of using System.Web.HttpUtility class

We replaced it with EscapeDataString method and this fixed the issue.

System.Uri.EscapeDataString()

Hi,

We were recently facing issue while trying to update status for Campaign Entity using SetStateRequest in Dynamics 365. The value for were not getting updated.

Eventually we realized that it could be because of SetStateRequest being deprecated now in Dynamics 365 (online).

Updating the code to use UpdateRequest fixed the issue.

LINQ: GroupBy, Sum and EntityCollection in CRM

Just sharing a sample code that could be used for group by and sum operation on EntityCollection.

Suppose below is the output that we want

We can use the below code for that.


// select categoryid, final forecast, final awards from SubCategory Entity
// category id is lookup in SubCategory Entity

EntityCollection result = orgProxy.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetch));

var details = from r in result.Entities.AsEnumerable()
group r by new
{
groupByCategoryID = ((EntityReference)r.Attributes["categoryId"]).Id.ToString()
}
into g
select new
{
sumFinalForecast = g.Sum(x => Convert.ToInt32(x.Attributes["finalforecast"])),
sumFinalAwards = g.Sum(x => Convert.ToInt32(x.Attributes["finalawards"])),
categoryId = g.Key.groupByCategoryID
};

// update the parent record
foreach(var detail in details)
{
Entity entityUpdate = new Entity("category");
entityUpdate.Id = new Guid(detail.categoryId);
entityUpdate.Attributes["totalfinalforecast"] = detail.sumFinalForecast;
entityUpdate.Attributes["totalfinalawards"] = detail.sumFinalAwards;
orgProxy.Update(entityUpdate);
}
