re: Adding An IFrame That Contains A View Of Related Entity

Danny Varghese — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 19:50:43 GMT

Hi Mark,

To get around this, I check the form type when it loads. So if the form type = 1 (new/create form), then I don't call the code. This will prevent the error from happening. Hope that helps!

I get an error where the IFrame is when creating a new account . Can you append your code to deal with the null? Accounts with existing records for my custom entity show up fine in the IFrame

I'd also like to add with the Visual Studio debugging tool, you can also step into the program and quick watch or explore the exception. This, I've found, to be the best method of figuring out truly what the issue is.

Hi Katyc,

I_Frames reference a URL, so you can simply put the URL for the advanced find. Now if you want the advanced find to run with specific parameters found on the form you're on, then you can dynamically build the url and set the I_FRAME url as mentioned in this blog. Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi Rob,

The way you can find that "area" parameter out is either you can type "ctrl-n" to open a new IE page and then view the source of the page, or if your IE toolbar allows to view the source directly. Once you have the page source code visible, search for that parameter and you can just copy and paste! Good luck!

I think this is what Katyc meant:

She wanted to use a different view other than the standard associated view for an iFrame. (Example: "Advanced Find" view)

Hi Katyc,

Sorry for the late response, but I've been away for about two months and am just getting back. Could you please be more specific in your question? What kind of view? Thanks!

re: CRM 3.0 Callouts not working after 4.0 Upgrade

The dll doesn't download really anywhere. it is installed with CRM 3.0, so you should still have it on your system if you upgraded from 3.0 to 4.0. If you are using a fresh 4.0 install, and can't find the dll anywhere, send me an email at lsimpson@crowechizek.com. I'll zip up the dll and send it to you.

Hi Luke, Found this blog per the mentioned problem. I am unable to locate the Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Callout.Base.dll anywhere on the CRM server. Where would this be located?

Your image isn´t visible and if you would please offer your full code (using references), cause your´re getting errors if you´re using default values from VS2005.

Thanks a lot

re: Cloning An Entity In CRM

Ian Randall — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:32:44 GMT

Nice...

The only drawback of this approach is that you cannot clone an entity's fields that are not on the form. We recently had a fairly large custom entity that would show/hide stuff based on picklist values selected at runtime, and we needed to clone the whole thing... so we abstracted this functionality into a .net WF library and invoked it from a CRM Workflow.

Using javascript would have been much neater though!

If it's a soap exception you can also try the soapEx.Detail.OuterXml to get some more information on what went wrong...
