Let’s say a user enters information on a form on any entity and clicks save. Like any other .NET web application, the data entered by the user is then submitted to the database. Validation occurs, and if valid, the data is submitted and then finally committed to the database.

Hi,

Had a requirement to check if user is a SharePoint Admin or not and accordingly hide few elements in the page. We used the below code in our custom master page

Sample Code


var currentUser;

function IsUserAdmin() {
clientContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
spWeb = clientContext.get_web();
currentUser = spWeb.get_currentUser();
clientContext.load(currentUser);
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}

function onQuerySucceeded(sender, args) {

var isUserAdmin = currentUser.get_isSiteAdmin();
if (isUserAdmin) {

alert('Current User is Administrator');

} else {

alert('Current User is not an Administrator');
}
}

function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {

alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() +
'\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
}

ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(GetCount, "sp.js");

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.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.tooling.connector.crmserviceclient.createmultientityassociation.aspx

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"));
crmServiceClient.CreateMultiEntityAssociation("contact", new Guid("CF1FC3C0-0738-E411-9878-00155D56FF56"), "opportunity", lstOpportunityGuid, "opportunity_customer_contacts");
