Hi,

Today on deploying custom pages within CRM, if found out that my drop down control was not working properly. On initial page load the drop down control was showing all the values but once the page is posted back it was showing no items inside it !

It happens becuase by default view state is disabled for pages within CRM 4.0

These are settings for the web.config within CRM 4.0

pages buffer=”true” enableSessionState=”false” enableViewState=”false” validateRequest=”false”

So just make sure if your pages are making use of view state or session state, ovverride the above settings for your custom pages!!

Few more tips

Hi,

Got this error while running a custom aspx page within the isv folder of CRM 4.0. To resolve the issue we need to add Microsoft.Crm.WebServices.dll either to our application or to the gac of the server.

Microsoft.Crm.WebServices.dll – It could be found at following location C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Setup

Check this info as well

Hi was facing this issue when trying to open crm.

The url i was using was something like this

http://servername:5555

than thought of trying with an ip address instead of host name of the server

http://192.168.20.114:5555   ( something like this .. )

And than everything was fine !

Restarting the server didn’t solve the problem. Than tried rebuilding the performance counter.

To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third-party counters in Windows Server 2003, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
