New tool: View Layout Replicator for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

Today, I finished the upgrade of View Layout Replicator for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011.

View Layout Replicator

I posted the tool, the source code and the documentation on codeplex. Use the link below to access to these files:

With Version for 4.0 I had a strange error. Take a look at http://carstengroth.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/microsoft-dynamics-crm-4-0-export-to-pivot-missing-attributes/

You can translate it in french as well. Hope this error is gone with the new Version for 2011

Hi,
I read your post that was very interesting.
The difficulty, for me and my tool, is that the tool does not manipulate columnset xml node at all...
So, as there is no code that deals with this node, I have nothing to correct from my point of view...
If you think that I should add some correction, you can go to codeplex and look at the class Helpers/ViewHelper.cs, there is a method "PropagateLayout" that do all the work.

---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
Error while retrieving organizations : Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://dev.vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'.
---------------------------
OK

Actually my Organization url is
https://vino.crm5.dynamics.com/. Dont know why dev. is appended to it.

Also I am not able to browse this URL from IE
'https://dev.vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'

I am able to discover 'https://vino.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Discovery.svc?wsdl'

Thanks & Regards

Hi Vinoth,

You didn't read the documentation, did you? :)

When specifying your server name, juste use crm5.dynamics.com, then click on "Get Orgs." button.

You will be able to select the organization and connect to it.

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 > ...
