Fixed – Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Property ‘x’ isn’t declared on the control manifest in Microsoft Dynamics 365

We got this error while trying to save the form which uses the PCF Control.

This was because the name of the property was changed

And the updated solution was imported, while the control on the form was still referring to the old property name.

Fix is straightforward, remove the field using that control with old property name from the form and save the change.

Hope it helps..

Very simple PCF Control to show Gravatar

The Gravatar or globally recognised avatar is basically an image associated to our email id, which appears besides our comments, blogs posts, sites etc.

https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/

To request an image of Gravatar, we need to first calculate hash of the email id and pass it to the URL

The format à

https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/{HASH}

e.g.

https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/205e460b479e2e5b48aec07710c08d50

https://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/

Using this information, just created a PCF control for single line of text – email type that will show the Gravatar associated to it. It was more from learning perspective than trying to implement a business case or requirement.

This is how the control looks like within the form.
