New tool: AssemblyRecovery

Hi,

Someone, on Microsoft CRM forums, asked how he would be able to compare plugins or workflow activities between two environments...
The obvious answer was to use Reflector to analyze the content of these assemblies.

What? You don't have the assemblies? You are not sure which version of the assembly is stored in CRM database?

No problem! Just use this new tool that allows you to display the list of custom assemblies and recover them on your disk.



As usual, the tool can be downloaded with the following link:

Hi,

first I have to say that you provide a great collection of tools. I'm testing all of them at the moment and it looks awesome.

Unfortunately i get an Error when I try to recover assemblies. Here the complete stack trace.

Hi Sven,

Thanks for the feedback...

I will check this but you have to know that I discover some kind of bug in the CRM application that does not allow to retrieve assemblies larger that 4Kb.

I'm waiting for my access to MS support (thanks to the MVP nomination) to open a case regarding this problem.

New XrmToolBox plugin : Import/Export NN relationships

Image
Two plugins in one day! wow! This one was, in fact, developed a couple of months ago. One of my colleague was using a solution from my fellow MVP Andrii Butenko which allows to import/export NN relationships in a silverlight web resource. This was nice but my colleague was using other attributes than primary key to do the mapping and Andrii’s solution does not support this. So he asked me to develop a XrmToolBox’s plugin that could do this. And, here it is! You can select entities and relationships and moreover, choose mapping attributes on both enitities. I only let text and number attributes selectable as other does not really make sense for mapping purposes. Then you can import or export NN relationships! Here is a preview As usual, this plugin, among other, is available with XrmToolBox on CodePlex

Searchable Propery Attribute Updater

Image
Hi, The previous post was not the last one... :) You can find in this post the first tool that will make your life easier: Just remember when you customer asked you to remove all these unused attributes form the attribute list of the advanced find form... You navigated through all attrbutes form to modify the Searchable property of each attributes for hours... (maybe am I exaggerating a bit...) The program I give you allows you to update all attributes in a single winform application! Yes it can be! Do not hesitate to give me your comments about this program if you think improvements can be done... Download:

Full featured CRM grid in HTML/JS

Image
In last December, I was asked to write a web resource to display a grid with CRM records. I was quite frustrated because I didn’t succeed to manage some grid features easily like fixed header with horizontal scrolling among others. I delivered a fixed table which was not so bad but absolutely not something that look like the application grid views. So I decided to work harder to find a way to do this CRM style grid view. After some works (almost two full days), I have succeeded to create a full featured CRM grid view by using only JavaScript. Here is a screenshot: And this is how I can create a grid view from only a div in a HTML page < html > < head > < title > Page de test </ title > < script src ="json2.js"></ script > < script src ="jquery.js"></ script > < script src ="XrmServiceToolKit.js"></ script > < script src ="sdk.metadata.js"></ script > ...
