This blog is running on WordPress, and would not it be nice if I were able to somehow integrate WordPress with Dynamics? Well, actually I don’t have my own instance of Dynamics to start with, so it would be nice if Microsoft was offering some sort of development instances in the first place(is Salesforce offering them, still?),… Read More »
There is a method in the Xrm.Utility namespace that we can use to open a quick create form: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj602956.aspx It turns out this method can produce a very vague error: And you won’t see much in the downloaded log file: Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Microsoft Dynamics CRM has experienced an error.

We know that that “all interaction with Microsoft Dynamics 365 application pages must only be performed through the methods with the Xrm.Page or Xrm.Utilitynamespaces documented in the Client-side programming reference”. This is a direct quote from msdn: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328350.aspx However, what if we could extend/override the Xrm itself, and what if we did not have to… Read More »
Before I continue, I just wanted to show you something: On the left side is what you would have to do if you wanted to hide all the fields in the company profile section on the out of the box Account form. There are only 5 fields there; however, when using a business rule, you have… Read More »
How would you go about setting up readonly/visibility rules for a form that has lots of sections, tabs, and fields? Where the rules can change any time depending on what your users think today? Where one rule can affect another? And where each rule may affect multiple fields, but that set of fields can change from time to… Read More »
To start with, I’m not a professional front-end developer. I will do something every now and then, but for the most part, I’ll be configuring Dynamics, writing plugins, talking to the users.. you get the picture – it’s called Dynamics consulting. However, we all need to be somewhat up to date on the front-end development side, at… Read More »

This is a continuation of the original Quick Find on Your Terms post – I am going to walk you through the configuration steps using the scenario described in that original post. However, before we continue, you may want to have a look at yet another post that explains how we can use entityname attribute in FetchXml: Two Most… Read More »
What would you choose if you were given an option to use SQL or FetchXml to run a query? I’m sure that 99.9% of us would go with SQL in that situation since FetchXml tends to limit what we can do. However, FetchXml is, actually, more powerful than you would think if you simply continued to use “Download FetchXml”… Read More »
What’s all that about doing Quick Find on your terms? Think of it this way.. When you are doing a quick find on Dynamics terms, it goes like this: You: “Well, Dynamics, I want to use Quick Find to find all the contacts where this particular keyword occurs in the FullName, or if this contact belongs to… Read More »
