Using CreateMultiEntityAssociation method of CRMServiceClient for 1: n records.

Hi,

CreateMultiEntityAssociation method of CrmServiceclient can be used for associating 1 : n records i.e. if we have one contact record that we want to associate with multiple opportunity record ( 1-n) then we can use that method. This way we wont have to update each individual record.

Sample Code


Uri organizationUri = new Uri("http://server/crmrog/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
Uri homeRealmUri = null;
ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();
credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
OrganizationServiceProxy orgProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);

CrmServiceClient crmServiceClient = new CrmServiceClient(orgProxy);
List<Guid> lstOpportunityGuid = new List<Guid>();
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("9DDCE989-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("019E1598-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));
lstOpportunityGuid.Add(new Guid("EA393A91-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"));

Business Rules in CRM 2013

Just writing down few key points regarding the Business Rules in CRM 2013.

Business Rules run on client side so any custom server side code or data import will bypass it.
Business Rule can be created for a specific form or all the forms of the entity.

Business Rules execute offline and also for tablet client.
If else conditions are not supported.
Rule are created for a single entity.
No support for or conditions.
If there is custom JavaScript and two business rules written on same condition, the custom JavaScript will run first, followed by the order in which the business rules have been activated.

Calling a Windows Authenticated WCF Service in a Plugin in CRM

Hi,

Suppose we need to call the service created here in our plugin

https://nishantrana.me/2014/09/05/configure-a-wcf-service-for-windows-authentication/

As plugin don’t have configuration file, we need to specify binding information in Code.

The sample code to call the WCF Service by passing Network Credentials


private static void CallWCFService()
{
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportCredentialOnly;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.Windows;

// Specify the endpointAddress
EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("http://servername:port/Service1.svc"));

ServiceReference1.Service1Client client = new ServiceReference1.Service1Client(binding, endpointAddress);
if (client.ChannelFactory.Credentials != null)
client.ChannelFactory.Credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domain");
if (client.ClientCredentials != null)
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Delegation;
MessageBox.Show(client.GetData(1));
}

Configure a WCF Service for Windows Authentication

Hi,

Sharing a simple example on how to enable Windows Authentication for a WCF Service using basicHttpBinding.

We will take an example of the OOB WCF Service that gets created when we create a new WCF Service Application.

Add the following configuration in web.config


<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfService2.Service1">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="myBinding" contract="WcfService2.IService1"/>
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="myBinding" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647"/>
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/>
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
