Sort SPFolder in SharePoint

We developed a web part showing the folders hierarchy using tree view control. However the folders were not getting displayed in the tree view node in the order they are visible inside the document library i.e. sorted on name.

Creating a tree view

http://www.davehunter.co.uk/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=f0e16a1a-6fa9-4130-bcab-baeb97ccc4ff&ID=115

So finally used the following code to sort the folders

List<SPFolder> folderList = new List<SPFolder>();

foreach (SPFolder myFolder in folder.SubFolders){

folderList.Add(myFolder);

}

folderList.Sort(delegate(SPFolder p1, SPFolder p2) { return p1.Name.CompareTo(p2.Name); });

Dynamic Values in Workflow in CRM 4

We were facing an issue today; the issue was something like this

We were sending mail in one of our workflow, in the to field of the workflow we had set multiple users name as dynamic values. But we found that mail was being sent to only one user, i.e. the first user only.

Than we found out that if we add multiple values in Look For dialog box and click on ok to add all those together, only the first field having value would be picked by workflow.

For e.g. if I add (created by), (manager of the user field) in the look for dialog box and click on ok to add them together, the workflow would only pick the value for first field i.e. (created by) field for which value exists. It would ignore the manager of the user field.

However if we add them separately i.e. first add (created by) field and then look for (manager of the user field) and add that field than we could have values for both the field.

Read Only Tab in CRM

Hi,

This is something i tried for setting all the fields within a tab as read only or disabled !

// get the div element corresponding to tab, first tab would have index Tab0, second as Tab1 and so on ..

var el=document.getElementById(‘Tab2’);

// create a recursive function

function toggleDisabled(el) {

try {

el.disabled = el.disabled ? false : true;

}

catch(E){}

if (el.childNodes && el.childNodes.length > 0) {

for (var x = 0; x < el.childNodes.length; x++) {

toggleDisabled(el.childNodes[x]);

}

// call the function

toggleDisabled(el);

To hide and setting a parituclar tab as default

Custom pages and Relative URL’s in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4

As suggested my Microsoft we would be deploying our custom pages in ISV folder within CRM’s virtual directory i.e. CRMWEB.

Now within our site map or isv.config if we are referring to the page using relative url

i.e. /ISV/HelloWorld.aspx, what CRM would do is append Organization Name to the url.

Now as long it is an aspx page, things would be fine. However if it is an html page we would get “Page not found error”. And for html page we need to use Absolute url, for them to work fine!

Check out this url as well
