Hi,
There is a SOAPLogger tool that ships with CRM 2011 SDK which can be used to capture HTTP request and response.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg594434.aspx
Using that tool we can write our code in C# and and it captures the corresponding SOAP Request and Response for it in a file named Output.txt. I have updated the code so that it formats the SoapRequest in JavaScript which than can be used as web resource in our solution. (It works with Office 365 as well).
The C# code for creating a contact record
And the corresponding output.txt file
Dowload it here :- SoapLogger (rename .doc to .zip)
Hope it helps.
Hi,
For a Static Marketing List, we can get the total member count from the attribute “Members Count”.
However this attribute doesn’t’ work for Dynamic Marketing List as this value can only be derived at run time, when the query associated with the list is executed.
One way we can get the total count for the list is by following the below steps.
Sample Code in C#
private void btnGetMembersDynamicML_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IOrganizationService orgService = GetOrganizationService();
ColumnSet cols= new ColumnSet(new string[] { "query" });
// GUID of the Dynamic Marketing List
var entity = orgService.Retrieve("list", new Guid("03C4E473-F7DA-E111-B988-00155D886334"), cols);
var dynamicQuery = entity.Attributes["query"].ToString();
var countQuery = ModifyFetchXML(dynamicQuery);
var memberCountResult = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(countQuery));
DataCollection<Entity> dataCollection = memberCountResult.Entities;
int totalMembers = default(int);
if(dataCollection != null && dataCollection.Count > 0)
{
foreach(Entity entityVal in dataCollection)
{
AliasedValue value = (entityVal.Attributes["member_count"] as AliasedValue);
totalMembers = (int)value.Value;
}
}
MessageBox.Show("Total Members : " + totalMembers.ToString());
}
private static string ModifyFetchXML(string dynamicQuery)
{
var doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(dynamicQuery);
var entitynode = doc.GetElementsByTagName("entity")[0];
int childCount = entitynode.ChildNodes.Count;
// Remove all the attribute and order tag
for (int i = 0; i <= childCount; i++)
{
var attributenode = entitynode.SelectSingleNode("//attribute");
if (attributenode != null) entitynode.RemoveChild(attributenode);
else
{
var ordernode = entitynode.SelectSingleNode("//order");
if (ordernode != null) entitynode.RemoveChild(ordernode);
}
}
// add a new attribute tag
// <attribute name="fullname" alias="member_count" aggregate="count" />
XmlElement xmlNodeCustomSettings = doc.CreateElement("attribute");
xmlNodeCustomSettings.SetAttribute("name", "contactid");
xmlNodeCustomSettings.SetAttribute("alias", "member_count");
xmlNodeCustomSettings.SetAttribute("aggregate", "count");
entitynode.AppendChild(xmlNodeCustomSettings);
// Add aggregate= true attribute
// <fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false" aggregate="true">
var root = doc.DocumentElement;
if (root != null) root.SetAttribute("aggregate", "true");
return doc.InnerXml;
}
public IOrganizationService GetOrganizationService()
{
Uri organizationUri = new Uri("http://servername/orgname/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
Uri homeRealmUri = null;
ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();
credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
OrganizationServiceProxy orgProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);
IOrganizationService _service = (IOrganizationService)orgProxy;
return _service;
}
Hope it helps.
Hi,
A new version of CRM 2011 SDK has been recently released
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24004#overview
It includes a section “Form Scripting Quick Reference” that has simple explanations and examples of various Xrm.Page methods in a single page.
Have a look at it here.

Hi,
Below is the code that we could use to retrieve the GUIDs of all the members associated to a STATIC marketing list.
private void GetAllMembers_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ArrayList memberGuids = new ArrayList();
IOrganizationService orgService = GetOrganizationService();
PagingInfo pageInfo = new PagingInfo();
pageInfo.Count = 5000;
pageInfo.PageNumber = 1;
QueryByAttribute query = new QueryByAttribute("listmember");
// pass the guid of the Static marketing list
query.AddAttributeValue("listid", new Guid("2CA7881F-3EDA-E111-B988-00155D886334"));
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(true);
EntityCollection entityCollection = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(query);
foreach (Entity entity in entityCollection.Entities)
{
memberGuids.Add(((EntityReference) entity.Attributes["entityid"]).Id);
}
// if list contains more than 5000 records
while (entityCollection.MoreRecords)
{
query.PageInfo.PageNumber += 1;
query.PageInfo.PagingCookie = entityCollection.PagingCookie;
entityCollection = orgService.RetrieveMultiple(query);
foreach (Entity entity in entityCollection.Entities)
{
memberGuids.Add(((EntityReference)entity.Attributes["entityid"]).Id);
}
}
}
public IOrganizationService GetOrganizationService()
{
Uri organizationUri = new Uri("http://servername/orgname/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
Uri homeRealmUri = null;
ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();
credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
OrganizationServiceProxy orgProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);
IOrganizationService _service = (IOrganizationService)orgProxy;
return _service;
}
Hope it helps.
Hi,
Suppose we want to pass few values as parameter to our JavaScript function.
Here we have a JavaScript library named new_test which has GetParameters function.
Here we are passing three parameters
Using getEventSource method we can get the name attribute’s value.
We can use the attribute’s name in our Xrm.page.getAttribute method.
The JavaScript function
The alert box
Hope it helps!
