Only Secure Content is displayed notification while using Bing Map API version 7.0 in CRM Online.


Hi,

We recently developed a web resource using Bing Map API to show address as push pin for Custom Entities.

However, we were getting the following notification

The reason being we were using Http version of the API and CRM is on HTTPS. We changed it to use HTTPS version and it fixed the issue.

Else we would have to do the following settings in the browsers

Sharing the sample code


public static Dictionary<string, string> GetMarketClusterAndMarketSegment(string webresourceName, string buildingTypeValue, IOrganizationService organizationService)
{
Dictionary<string, string> dictionaryMarket = new Dictionary<string, string>();

// tk_et_oppline_marketingfilterpicklists
// create request to retrieve Webresource
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet();
cols.AddColumn("content");
QueryByAttribute requestWebResource = new QueryByAttribute
{
EntityName = "webresource",
ColumnSet = cols
};
requestWebResource.Attributes.AddRange("name");
requestWebResource.Values.AddRange(webresourceName);

Entity webResourceEntity = null;
EntityCollection webResourceEntityCollection = organizationService.RetrieveMultiple(requestWebResource);

if (webResourceEntityCollection.Entities.Count > 0)
{
webResourceEntity = webResourceEntityCollection.Entities[0];
byte[] binary = Convert.FromBase64String(webResourceEntity.Attributes["content"].ToString());
string resourceContent = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(binary);
string byteOrderMarkUtf8 = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetPreamble());
if (resourceContent.StartsWith(byteOrderMarkUtf8))
{
resourceContent = resourceContent.Remove(0, byteOrderMarkUtf8.Length);
}

XDocument xmlDocument = XDocument.Parse(resourceContent);

var marketSegment = from t in xmlDocument.Descendants("ParentField").ElementAt(1).Descendants("ShowOption")
where t.Attribute("value").Value.Equals(buildingTypeValue)
select new
{
marketSegmentValue = t.Parent.Attribute("value").Value,
marketSegmentLabel = t.Parent.Attribute("label").Value
};

foreach (var v in marketSegment)
{
dictionaryMarket.Add("marketsegment", v.marketSegmentValue);
var marketCluster = from t in xmlDocument.Descendants("ParentField").ElementAt(0).Descendants("ShowOption")
where t.Attribute("value").Value.Equals(v.marketSegmentValue)
select new
{
marketClusterValue = t.Parent.Attribute("value").Value,
marketClusterLabel = t.Parent.Attribute("label").Value
};

foreach (var m in marketCluster)
{
dictionaryMarket.Add("marketcluster", m.marketClusterValue);
