Healthy blog!

Crunchy numbers

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 290,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 12 days for that many people to see it.

In 2010, there were 86 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 346 posts. There were 72 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 158mb. That’s about 1 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was November 10th with 1 views. The most popular post that day was Creating Word document using C#.

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were google.co.in, google.com, social.microsoft.com, social.msdn.microsoft.com, and eggheadcafe.com.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for wpf hyperlink, sharepoint javascript, could not load all isapi filters for site/service. therefore startup aborted., oracle left, and unable to generate a temporary class (result=1)..

Filtered Lookup in CRM 2011

To get the filtered lookup functionality in CRM 2011 we can make use of the

addCustomView Method of Xrm.Page.ui control.

Something similar to this

Here we have a custom entity name Case which has 1-n relationship with Contact Entity.

Now we want to show only those contact records in lookup which are associated with a particular case record.

We can add the code to the onload of the Entity.

// View ID --> Generate and Assign a new guid.

var viewId = "{C0F1DD64-1BF3-450D-BCDE-DF4732DE1606}";

// Set the entity name
 var entityName = "contact";
 // Give a meaningful name to the custom view
 var viewDisplayName = "Case Member View";

// Create the Advanced find query and download the fetch xml
var fetchXml = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>" +
"<entity name='contact'>" +
"<attribute name='fullname' />" +
" <attribute name='contactid' />" +
"<order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />" +
"<filter type='and'>" +
"<condition attribute='new_caseid' operator='eq' uiname='new case' uitype='new_case' value="+caseID+"/>" +
"</filter>" +
"</entity>" +
"</fetch>";

// specify the layout for the results and which field to display
var layoutXml = "<grid name='resultset' " +
"object='1' " +
"jump='name' " +
"select='1' " +
"icon='1' " +
"preview='1'>" +
"<row name='result' " +
"id='contactid'>" +
"<cell name='fullname' " +
"width='100' />" +
"</row>" +
"</grid>";
// specify the schemaname of the lookup control
var lookupControl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('new_clientid');
// set the parameters

lookupControl.addCustomView(viewId, entityName, viewDisplayName, fetchXml, layoutXml, true);

Accessing IFrame through JavaScript

Accessing IFrame through JavaScript

window.frames[0].location

window.frames[“myframename”].location // through name

document.getElementById(‘myframeid’).src // through id

Accessing a div element name myDiv within Iframe

window.frames[“myframename”].document.getElementById(‘myDiv’).innerHTML

document.getElementById(‘myframeid’).contentDocument.getElementById(‘myDiv’).innerHTML

Accessing a div element name myDivInside within Iframe(myfframeid) which itself is inside an Iframe(myframeid)

document.getElementById(‘myframeid’).contentDocument.getElementById(‘myfframeid’).contentWindow.document.getElementById(‘myDivInside’).innerHTML

CS1026: ) expected error when using IFrame in Content Page

Hi I had the following iframe defined in one of my aspx page.

The page was working fine. However as soon as I specified the same iframe inside a master page, I started getting following error.

Compiler Error Message: CS1026: ) expected

Source Error:

Line 4: </asp:Content>
Line 5: <asp:Content ID=”Content2″ ContentPlaceHolderID=”ContentPlaceHolder1″ Runat=”Server”>

Line 6: <iframe ….src=http://www.bing.com….

Line 7: </asp:Content>

Line 8:

So here to resolve the error either remove the runat or onload attribute.

Bye.

Get value for OptionSet in CRM 2011

To get the value for OptionSet we can use the following function

private
string GetOptionsSetTextOnValue(IOrganizationService service, string entityName, string attributeName, int selectedValue) {

RetrieveAttributeRequest retrieveAttributeRequest = new
RetrieveAttributeRequest {

EntityLogicalName = entityName,

LogicalName = attributeName,

RetrieveAsIfPublished = true

};
// Execute the request.
RetrieveAttributeResponse retrieveAttributeResponse =(RetrieveAttributeResponse) service.Execute(retrieveAttributeRequest);
// Access the retrieved attribute.

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata =(Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata)

retrieveAttributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;// Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute.
OptionMetadata[] optionList =retrievedPicklistAttributeMetadata.OptionSet.Options.ToArray();
string selectedOptionLabel = string.Empty;
foreach (OptionMetadata oMD in optionList) {
if (oMD.Value == selectedValue){selectedOptionLabel = oMD.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label;

}

}
return selectedOptionLabel;

}

HyperLinkField and RowDataBound in ASP.NET

To access the HyperLinkField control with the RowDataBound event of the GridView, we can use the following code (refer the column cell)

protected void gridCaseMember_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e){
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow){
HyperLink myLink = (HyperLink)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];
