Loading External JavaScript files


Suppose this is our external javascript file content.

(customscript.js)

It consist of a simple function

function SayHello()
{
    alert(‘Hello World’);

}



 


It is placed at the following path   ..\ISV\ExtJS. i.e. within ExtJS folder inside ISV.


Place the following code in the form load of an entity’s form.


var scriptElement=document.createElement("<script type=’text/javascript’>");

        
scriptElement.src="/isv/ExtJs/customscript.js";


document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].insertAdjacentElement("beforeEnd",scriptElement); 


SayHello();






At times, it would work properly however sometimes it would throw “Object expected” error. It is because browser load JavaScript files asynchronously. If the script isn’t loaded we would get the error.


So here we need to make use of onreadystatechange event. 


So we would modify our script as following 


 


var scriptElement=document.createElement("<script type=’text/javascript’>");

        
scriptElement.src="/isv/ExtJs/customscript.js"; 


scriptElement.attachEvent("onreadystatechange",loadScript); 


document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].insertAdjacentElement("beforeEnd",scriptElement); 


function loadScript()

        
{ 


if(event.srcElement.readyState=="loaded" || event.srcElement.readState=="complete")

        
{ 


    SayHello();

        
}


}


 


 


Or we could also using XmlHttp request object to load the external file.


var url="/isv/ExtJs/customscript.js"; 


var xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

        
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,false);


xmlHttp.send(); 


eval(xmlHttp.responseText); 


SayHello();


 


Bye..

Pre-generated XmlSerializers (CrmService)for Plugin
	


	
	
	

		

Please refer this article

I am just writing out the main steps from it and the steps where we need to strong sign the assembly so that it could be used within Plugin.


Add web reference to CrmService.asmx


http://servername/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx


Go to “web references” folder. 


Copy Reference.cs file to a new folder.


Rename it to CrmServiceSerialized.cs


Open the CrmServiceSerialized.cs class, rename the class to CrmServiceSerialized.


namespace MyApplication.CrmServiceSerialized


Change the CrmService property 


public CrmService(string url) {


           this.Url = url;


Complie it to a dll


If we want to use the Serialized dll within Plugin we need to strong sign it


sn.exe -k g.snk 


csc /t:library /out:CrmServiceSerialized.dll CrmServiceSerialized.cs /keyfile:g.snk


To pre generate a strong named XmlSerializer dll


sgen.exe /p CrmServiceSerialized.dll /compiler:/keyfile:g.snk


Next again open CrmServiceSerialized.cs and comment out all occurrences of [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIncludeAttribute using Find and replace.


Next we need to add the attribute 


“[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializerAssemblyAttribute(AssemblyName = "CrmServiceSerialized.XmlSerializers")]” 


to the “CrmServiceSerialized” class.


Again generate the strong name assembly using the same key


csc /t:library /out:CrmServiceSerialized.dll CrmServiceSerialized.cs /keyfile:g.snk


Now we can add reference to CrmServiceSerialized.dll in our plugin to use it. Here also need to place CrmServiceSerialized.dll  and CrmServiceSerialized.XmlSerializers.dll to the GAC.
