I was working on a project last week where I was tried to use that approach, but I ran into some problems, so today I will present an updated approach.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/09/09/automatically-executing-http-post-requests-in-dynamics-crm-iframes/Fri, 09 Sep 2016 17:57:12 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/09/09/automatically-executing-http-post-requests-in-dynamics-crm-iframes/The Dynamics CRM SDK allows you to set the source URL for an iframe control on a form, and that is fine if all you need to do is load web pages that are accessible via HTTP GET requests. If you need to automatically display the results of an HTTP POST request inside an iframe, it’s a bit more challenging.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/07/08/easy-html-formatting-for-comments-in-orchard-using-markdown/Mon, 08 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/07/08/easy-html-formatting-for-comments-in-orchard-using-markdown/I recently moved this site from BlogEngine.NET to Orchard, and I decided I wanted to offer some basic HTML formatting (bold, italic, hyperlinks, etc.) functionality for comments, but I didn’t want to do any significant amount of coding. After some research I realized that Markdown syntax would be the easiest way to let my visitors add HTML to their comments, and I could enable it with just a few bits of JavaScript.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/06/03/creating-a-dynamic-dialog-launcher-menu-for-dynamics-crm-fetchxml-style-2/Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/06/03/creating-a-dynamic-dialog-launcher-menu-for-dynamics-crm-fetchxml-style-2/Last month I wrote a post about how to create a web resource dialog “launcher” that you can embed in a CRM form (both classic and updated modes) with JavaScript and an OData query. In today’s post, I will show how to do the same thing using a FetchXML query. There are four changes you need to make to the web resource from the previous post.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/05/17/creating-a-dynamic-dialog-launcher-menu-for-dynamics-crm/Fri, 17 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/05/17/creating-a-dynamic-dialog-launcher-menu-for-dynamics-crm/I love Dynamics CRM dialogs. In fact, I think they are one of the best features of CRM 2011. What I don’t like about dialogs is how the user has to run them when working with a entity record. On a “classic” mode form, the user has to go to the ribbon, click start dialog and then find the dialog in a list.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/02/11/displaying-fetchxml-results-with-xslt-on-the-client-side-in-a-dynamics-crm-2011-web-resource/Mon, 11 Feb 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/02/11/displaying-fetchxml-results-with-xslt-on-the-client-side-in-a-dynamics-crm-2011-web-resource/A few weeks back, I wrote a post that showed how to retrieve and display FetchXML using jQuery in a Dynamics CRM web resource. In that example, I used jQuery’s each() method to iterate through each result and append them to an HTML element on the page. Using each() is a good approach if you need to actually do something with each row, but if you just want to display data, XSLT is a much easier way to do it.https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/27/better-line-charts-in-dynamics-crm-2011-part-ii/Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/27/better-line-charts-in-dynamics-crm-2011-part-ii/In part I of this series, I showed how to query Microsoft Dynamics CRM for aggregate data using FetchXML and then pass the results to Flot to generate a line chart. In this second part, I will expand on that to show how to query for and chart multi-series data. For my example today, I will be creating a chart that shows the number of contacts created by date and state (address, not statecode).https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/24/better-line-charts-in-dynamics-crm-2011-part-i/Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/24/better-line-charts-in-dynamics-crm-2011-part-i/Earlier this week I posted an entry about using FetchXML and JQuery in a Dynamics CRM 2011 web resource. The reason I first started looking at those two together was that I wanted to see if I could generate better looking line charts than are available out of the box (spoiler alert: I did).https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/21/fetchxml-jquery-in-a-dynamics-crm-2011-web-resource/Mon, 21 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2013/01/21/fetchxml-jquery-in-a-dynamics-crm-2011-web-resource/Over the weekend I started looking at a hobby project that involved querying and working with aggregate data from Dynamics CRM 2011 inside a hosted web resource using jQuery. Initially had I planned to use the OData/REST endpoint since that is much sexier than SOAP lately, but after a quick web search I realized that OData doesn’t support “group by” queries, so that left me looking at FetchXML.
