Issue while using SDK.MetaData.js in Chrome in CRM 2013.

Recently was writing a jscript function to populate optionset value using SDK.MetaData.js helper class.

https://nishantrana.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/retrieve-optionset-label-using-sdk-metadata-rertrieveattribute-method-in-javascript-crm-2011/

It was working fine in IE, however I was getting error in Chrome.

It turned out the following condition was always evaluating as true

And as selectSingleNode is not supported in Chrome we were getting error.

Added the following condition fixed the issue

if (typeof(window.chrome) != ‘undefined’) {

var xpe = new XPathEvaluator();

var xPathNode = xpe.evaluate(xpathExpr, node, _NSResolver, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null);

return (xPathNode != null) ? xPathNode.singleNodeValue : null;

}

Hope it helps..

Custom Ribbon Button to get the Guid of the record in CRM 2011

Get guid of the record quickly in CRM 2013

Nishant Rana's Weblog

Hi,

Normally to get the guid we need to click on “Copy a link” button and then get id from the url, so just thought of creating a custom button that only copies the guid.

Clicking on Get Guid button will copy the id to the clipboard

Generic SQL Error – RetriveMultiple with ConditionOperator.Contains in CRM

Hi,

Was getting Generic SQL Error while using ConditionOperator.Contains in the ConditionExpression. The requirement was to get all the incident records based on the title attribute value.

condExp.AttributeName = “title”;

condExp.Operator = ConditionOperator.Contains;

condExp.Values.Add(“test”);

The correct way to perform this kind of search is by using Like operator with %.

condExp.AttributeName = “title”;

condExp.Operator = ConditionOperator.Contains;

condExp.Values.Add(“%test%”);
