Writing Scripts for SubGrids with CRM 2015 Update 1

With the release of CRM 2015 Update 1 we can write supported scripts to get information from the subgrids.

Before CRM Online 2015 Update 1 the only unique method for the subgrid control was refresh.

As an Xrm.Page.ui control, GridControl also has all the standard control methods: getControlType, Label methods, getParent,Visible methods, setFocus, and Notification methods as well as refresh

OnLoad event

Add event handlers to this event to run every time the subgrid refreshes. This includes when users sort the values by clicking the column headings. Use the GridControl.addOnLoad and GridControl.removeOnLoad methods to manage event handlers, usually in the form Onload event.

Example :

Xrm.Page.getControl("Contacts").addOnLoad(<functionname>);

getEntityName

Use this method to get the logical name of the entity data displayed in the grid.

getGrid

Use this method to get access to the Grid available in the GridControl.

getViewSelector

Sample code to set the PartyList field for Email Activity.


function setContact() {

var partlistData = new Array();
partlistData[0] = new Object();

// guid of the record
partlistData[0].id = "8B2AD82B-30D6-E511-811F-3863BB356F90";

// name of the record
partlistData[0].name = "Hugh Grant";

// entity schema name
partlistData[0].entityType = "contact";
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("to").setValue(partlistData)

}

Hope it helps..

The selected translations file is either invalid or does not conform to the required translations file schema error while importing translations in CRM 2015 (and earlier)

Hi,

While importing translations we got the below error

On opening the CrmTranslations.xml we saw the translations missing for that row.

On specifying the values for those fields and importing it back fixed the issue.

Hope it helps..

Unit Testing (Microsoft Fakes) RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse in Plugin in CRM 2016 (and earlier)

Hi,

While trying to write Fakes for RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse we’d realize that PrincipalAccess is read only property and the class itself is sealed.

So to unit test it we need to write a wrapper class as suggested here

http://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/10/17/unit-testing-custom-microsoft-dynamics-crm-code-part-4/

The wrapper class


/// <summary>
/// Wrapper class for retrieve response
/// </summary>
[DataContract(Namespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts")]
public class RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper : OrganizationResponse
{
/// <summary>
/// The _entity
/// </summary>
private PrincipalAccess[] _principalaccess;

/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="RetrieveResponseWrapper"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="response">The response.</param>
public RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(OrganizationResponse response)
{
try
{
this.PrincipalAccesses = ((RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper)response).PrincipalAccesses;
}
catch
{
this.PrincipalAccesses = ((RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse)response).PrincipalAccesses;
}
}

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the PrincipalAccesses.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The entity.
/// </value>
public PrincipalAccess[] PrincipalAccesses
{
get
{
return _principalaccess;
}

set
{
_principalaccess = value;
}
}
}

The unit test


 organizationService.ExecuteOrganizationRequest = request =>
 { 
 RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper retrieveResponseWrapper = new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse());
 PrincipalAccess[] principalAccess = new PrincipalAccess[1]; 
 PrincipalAccess pAccess = new PrincipalAccess();
 pAccess.AccessMask = AccessRights.CreateAccess;
 pAccess.Principal = new EntityReference("team", new Guid("9A69533A-2306-4DFC-9662-65ABFAB41348"));
 principalAccess[0] = pAccess;
 retrieveResponseWrapper.PrincipalAccesses = principalAccess; 
 return retrieveResponseWrapper;
 };

Change in the Plugin code using Wrapper instead of original class



 IOrganizationService orgService = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

 var accessRequest = new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessRequest
 {
 Target = new EntityReference("projectsite", new Guid("CDF30DD5-C64E-4EF5-ABA6-C9715C10A07D"))
 };

 RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper accessResponse = (new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(orgService.Execute(accessRequest)));

Hope it helps
