Tag: Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Hi,

Today i was just trying to check if the dependent picklist code generated using Microsoft Dynamics CRM Demonstartion Tools for CRM 4.0 will work for CRM 2011 or not.

So i downloaded the tool

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=634508DC-1762-40D6-B745-B3BDE05D7012&displaylang=en

I was able to connect CRM 2011 using that tool. Then i generated the code using the tool.

I tried using that code inside CRM 2011 and it worked properly.

Only thing we need to do is to wrap the entire onload code generated by tool inside a function and call that function on the onload of the form and same thing for the onchange code.

Bye.

I was getting the following error while opening form of one of the entity (new_client) after upgrading the CRM server from beta version to RTM.

and inside application log

Exception information:

Exception type: NullReferenceException

Exception message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The issue was we had commented some of the NavBarArea tag within the FormXml of the Entity.

<!–<NavBarArea Id=”Service”><Titles><Title LCID=”1033″ Text=”Service”/></Titles></NavBarArea><NavBarArea Id=”Marketing”><Titles><Title LCID=”1033″ Text=”Marketing”/></Titles></NavBarArea>–>

Uncommenting it and importing it again resolved the issue.

This was not creating issue for the beta version, however it seems that it won’t allow us to do that in the RC or RTM version.

We had one of our web application deployed inside ISV folder in CRM 2011. We were showing one of the aspx pages in it inside an IFrame of a form.

First we specified the relative url like this for URL field in CRM form

/ISV/myWebApplication/Default.aspx

However on form we were getting page not found error.

Using developer tools, we found out that it was taking the url (src) for the iframe as

/contoso/isv/myWebApplication/Default.aspx

It was appending the organization name to it.

In CRM 4 this wasn’t the case.

Then we gave the absolute url for URL field in IFrame.

http://servername/isv/myWebApplication/Default.aspx.

However this time also we got page not found error. The url that it was using was

http://servername/contoso/isv/myWebApplication/Default.aspx i.e. again appending orgname to it.

The way we got it working was to define the src of the Iframe dynamically in the form onload event’s JavaScript.

function IframeSrc(){

crmForm.all.IFRAME_Map.src=”/ISV/ myWebApplication / Default.aspx”;

}

Hope it helps !
