Showing Scrollbar for Custom Pages in CRM


Hi,

We wanted to add a default home page to CRM web application. So for that added the following SubArea element in the SiteMap.

<SubArea Id=”nav_home” ResourceId=”Homepage_Home” Title=”Glossary” Icon=”/_imgs/area/18_home.gif” Url=”http://localhost:5555/CRMGlossaryFramePage.htm&#8221; Client=”Web” Description=”CRM Glossary” />

However the problem we were facing was that the page being too long, but still the scrollbars were missing.

Finally found this post that solved the problem.

The solution was to point to a page having an iframe and making that iframe to point to the original page !

The ConditonOperator.Equal requires 1 value, not 0.


This error is recieved when for ConditionExpression, we would have set

AttributeName, Operator properties but haven’t set Values property.

The below code would result in the ConditonOperator.Equal requires 1 value, not 0 error.

ConditionExpression myCon = new ConditionExpression();
myCon.AttributeName = “createdbyname”;
myCon.Operator = ConditionOperator.Equal;
//line commented for reproducing error
//myCon.Values = new object[] { “username” };

Error 0x80041110 QueryByAttribute must specify a non-empty attribute array in CRM


This error occurs when using the QueryByAttribute class we are not setting the Attributes and Values Property.

 

Just like the below code

 

Say we want to have the names of all the accounts,

 

ColumnSet myCols=new ColumnSet();

            myCols.Attributes=new string[] {“name”};

   QueryByAttribute myQA = new QueryByAttribute();

            myQA.EntityName = EntityName.account.ToString();

            myQA.ColumnSet = myCols ;           

            BusinessEntityCollection myBCColl2= myService.RetrieveMultiple(myQA);

 

However we will get error in this case because we haven’t specified Attributes and Values property. So we need to specify those properties.

 

            myQA.Attributes = new String[] { “statuscode” };

            myQA.Values=new object[] {“1”};

 

Otherwise we could use QueryByExpression class for that

 

            ColumnSet myCols=new ColumnSet();

            myCols.Attributes=new string[] {“name”};

 

            QueryExpression myQE = new QueryExpression();

            myQE.EntityName = EntityName.account.ToString();

            myQE.ColumnSet = myCols;

 

            BusinessEntityCollection myBCColl1 = myService.RetrieveMultiple(myQE);
