Issue while using SDK.MetaData.js in Chrome in CRM 2013.

Recently was writing a jscript function to populate optionset value using SDK.MetaData.js helper class.

https://nishantrana.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/retrieve-optionset-label-using-sdk-metadata-rertrieveattribute-method-in-javascript-crm-2011/

It was working fine in IE, however I was getting error in Chrome.

It turned out the following condition was always evaluating as true

And as selectSingleNode is not supported in Chrome we were getting error.

Added the following condition fixed the issue

if (typeof(window.chrome) != ‘undefined’) {

var xpe = new XPathEvaluator();

var xPathNode = xpe.evaluate(xpathExpr, node, _NSResolver, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null);

return (xPathNode != null) ? xPathNode.singleNodeValue : null;

}

Hope it helps..

Using clientidmode property to get the id of the control in JavaScript in Visual Web Part

Hi,

In a Visual Web Part we were saving few values in a hidden input field and were retrieving it in the jScript. However the issue we were facing was the id of the control kept changing.

http://therightstuff.de/2006/02/14/Accessing-Controls-In-SharePoint-Web-Parts-Using-JavaScript-On-The-Client-Side.aspx

Here the clientidmode property came to rescue.

With the clientidmode set as static the id remains the same.

Hope it helps.

A web part or web form control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is registered as safe error in while deploying visual web part in SharePoint 2013.

Got this error while adding web part to one of the pages in SharePoint. It was all working fine earlier.

After much struggle, realized that the LiveVewWebPart.webpart had the incorrect namespace specified.

Correcting it resolved the issue.

Custom Ribbon Button to get the Guid of the record in CRM 2011

Get guid of the record quickly in CRM 2013

Nishant Rana's Weblog

Update :- Works for CRM 2013 as well.

Hi,

Normally to get the guid we need to click on “Copy a link” button and then get id from the url, so just thought of creating a custom button that only copies the guid.
