This is not the most common development task by far, but that’s just one more reason to share the code since it took me a little while earlier today to assemble it from different sources. Here is how you can upload all the files from the specified folder to Dynamics as web resources: 1.… Read More »
I think it’s the first time I’m writing a blog post about a feature that I can’t really try, at least not yet. Virtual Entities.. What could be the holy grail of integrations.. They are coming in the next release, so I can’t stop thinking of what this might mean for all the integrations we… Read More »
It’s incredible how much we can do today using all the cloud tools compared to what we would be able to do just a few year ago. Imagine you had a web form on your web site, and, possibly, you were not that much interested in setting up a customer portal.. but you would still… Read More »
This is going to be a follow up for the original post, so, if you have not read it, you might want to do it first: Team Work: Is somebody else working with the same record? In this post, I wanted to explain how that solution actually works since, it seems, that’s what was missing… Read More »
I was trying to export a solution earlier today, and, somehow, I was getting an error message: Business Process ErrorInvalid business process The technical details were empty.. Just like this: What was interesting is that I had exported a few other solutions just before this one, so, apparently, there was something wrong with this… Read More »

Just came across an interesting post in the Dynamics Team blog: Set default Business Process on a form while creating new record It is interesting in two different ways. First, it is offering a nice example of how to implement a useful feature. When there are multiple business processes per entity, we can order those… Read More »
With any open source solution for Dynamics (aka Github-based), the only real support guarantee is to get the source code to your own dev environment and to build it there. Only then can you safely use that solution in production.. Don’t do that, and you’ll find yourself in trouble when the author abandons that solution and you will have to… Read More »
Everyone is sharing uplifting stories these days. So, here is a story.. A client of mine had a custom case management web application which they were moving to Dynamics. That application was built on ColdFusion, it had no technical documentation, and the one and only requirement for this project was, really, to replicate its functionality… Read More »
“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.” –Albert Einstein There! That’s how I feel about Dynamics most of the time. Off the top of my head, here is a short list of those Dynamics… Read More »
