Security Exception: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers in CRM 2011 plugin.


Hi,

We were getting the below error in one of our plugins. The reason was because we were making use of HttpContext class of System.Web assembly.

For our on-premise deployment it was working fine, we were getting this issue only on registering plugin on Sandbox mode.

We can find the explanation here

Four Nested If Limitations on workflows in CRM.


Hi,

We recently had a requirement to write a workflow that would require nested if conditions. Much to our surprise we realized that only 4 nested if conditions are supported.

After selecting “Select this row for “IF 5″and clicking on “Add Step”, we can see the Add Step menu greyed out.

The workaround is to use Child Workflow.

Check out this wonderful article
