System.NotSupportedException: An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location which would have caused the assembly to be sandboxed in previous versions of the .NET Framework while registering plugin in CRM 2011


Hi,

One of my colleagues was getting the above error while trying to register the plugin using plugin registration tool. This was because the plugin was copied from a network location and hence blocked. Right clicking the plugin assembly, selecting properties and then selecting unblock in the Security section of the General tab resolved the issue.

Hiding Tool Bar from the SSRS Report while using them in Dashboard (CRM 2011)


Hi,

We were showing a custom SSRS report inside an iframe in one of our CRM 2011 Dashboards. We wanted to hide the Tool Bar from the report.

To achieve that we need to pass the &rc:Toolbar=false parameter to our report’s URL, which we set for the IFrame.

http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fCIBPhaseIIAnD_MSCRM%2fBEA&rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false

This hides the tool bar.

Now in one of our other SSRS reports, we were doing filtering based on a report parameter. So we wanted to show only the Parameter toolbar to appear and hide the other toolbar that shows Export, Zoom, Print etc. option.

To do so we first figured out the CSS class being used for it,

this turned out to be ToolBarButtonsCell

Now what we did next was to create a simple CSS file with the following content to hide the tool bar

.ToolBarButtonsCell{display: none;}

And placed that file at the following location of the server

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\Styles

Now next we had to use the rc:stylesheet parameter for our report’s URL and pass the name of the above CSS file just created ( for e.g. hideToolBar.css)

So our new URL was like this

http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fCIBPhaseIIAnD_MSCRM%2fBEA&rs:Command=Render&rc:stylesheet=hideToolBar

After applying the new style sheet parameter to the report’s URL

Microsoft.Crm.Application.Outlook.ConfigWizard.exe “The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception” error while running Configuration Wizard of Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook.


Hi,

I had recently uninstalled and then reinstalled the Outlook client for CRM 2011. However when I was running the Configuration Wizard it was not opening up and instead I was getting the below error in the event log.


Removing the registry key MSCRMClient manually resolved the issue. (HKEY_currentuser\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM)
