Hi,

Occasionally while importing the solution to our UAT environment we have faced this issue where the solution hasn’t imported, didn’t give any error but has rolled back.

This issue seems to be occurring when we are facing Network Issues and Internet connection intermittently goes down.

Trying it again once the network is stable resolves this.

Hope it helps..

Hi,

While trying to write Fakes for RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse we’d realize that PrincipalAccess is read only property and the class itself is sealed.

So to unit test it we need to write a wrapper class as suggested here

http://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/10/17/unit-testing-custom-microsoft-dynamics-crm-code-part-4/

The wrapper class

/// <summary>
/// Wrapper class for retrieve response
/// </summary>
[DataContract(Namespace = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts")]
public class RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper : OrganizationResponse
{
/// <summary>
/// The _entity
/// </summary>
private PrincipalAccess[] _principalaccess;

/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="RetrieveResponseWrapper"/> class.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="response">The response.</param>
public RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(OrganizationResponse response)
{
try
{
this.PrincipalAccesses = ((RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper)response).PrincipalAccesses;
}
catch
{
this.PrincipalAccesses = ((RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse)response).PrincipalAccesses;
}
}

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the PrincipalAccesses.
/// </summary>
/// <value>
/// The entity.
/// </value>
public PrincipalAccess[] PrincipalAccesses
{
get
{
return _principalaccess;
}

set
{
_principalaccess = value;
}
}
}

The unit test

 organizationService.ExecuteOrganizationRequest = request =>
 { 
 RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper retrieveResponseWrapper = new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponse());
 PrincipalAccess[] principalAccess = new PrincipalAccess[1]; 
 PrincipalAccess pAccess = new PrincipalAccess();
 pAccess.AccessMask = AccessRights.CreateAccess;
 pAccess.Principal = new EntityReference("team", new Guid("9A69533A-2306-4DFC-9662-65ABFAB41348"));
 principalAccess[0] = pAccess;
 retrieveResponseWrapper.PrincipalAccesses = principalAccess; 
 return retrieveResponseWrapper;
 };

Change in the Plugin code using Wrapper instead of original class

 IOrganizationService orgService = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

 var accessRequest = new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessRequest
 {
 Target = new EntityReference("projectsite", new Guid("CDF30DD5-C64E-4EF5-ABA6-C9715C10A07D"))
 };

 RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper accessResponse = (new RetrieveSharedPrincipalsAndAccessResponseWrapper(orgService.Execute(accessRequest)));

Hope it helps

Recently we had a requirement to filter sub grid on one of the forms. We thought of using Plugin on Retrieve Multiple for this.

Here we were showing Opportunity Sub Grid on Account form.

So we created a view for Opportunity that will be used as Sub Grid. Used it as Related Record Sub Grid so that we can have the GUID of the Account record being passed to the plugin.

The problem we faced à Sorting and Paging stopped working for the Sub Grid.
