[VSTO] Debugging VSTO applications

Escuchoyo — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:32:00 GMT

One very useful trick to debug VSTO applications is this “cheeky” flag: VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS . It’s a environment variable to enable error messages about dodgy exceptions, like COM exceptions. For example, I was getting a strange behavior in my Office Word application when I was trying to add a new Plain Text Control: However, my VSTO application didn’t show me any messages or warning about any error, until I added this environment variable VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS to my system with value...(read more)

[WCF] Delegation between WCF and CRM Services

Escuchoyo — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:37:00 GMT

Impersonation and Delegation are important concepts around the services' world. Impersonation restricts client access to resources in the local machine where is running the service and Delegation restricts client access to resources on other machine. In my scenario, I was trying to access from a WCF service to Dynamics CRM 4.0 services using Delegation. In WCF, Delegation is a special type of Impersonation, which can be configured easily according to the next good articles: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730088.aspx...(read more)

[CRM4] Thanks Rollup 8. Error adding a user to CRM 4

Escuchoyo — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:47:00 GMT

According to the CRM Update Rollup 8 , they have resolved the following error: “After you install Update Rollup 3 or Update Rollup 4, you cannot add a user to more than one organization in the same deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM if the user exists in a child domain" …and definitely they have, because I tested it the last week. However, the scenario wasn’t exactly a parent/child domain, but a trusted link domain were instead. Download CRM 4 Rollup 8...(read more)

[CRM4] Searches and Views

Escuchoyo — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:12:00 GMT

Searches are fundamental in any CRM. Dynamics CRM provides different ways to search records from any entity. The most powerful search is the Advanced Find , which allows normal users to create custom queries and save them as new views, so that they can reuse them: Why do some attributes not show up? Only searchable attributes are showed up in Advanced Find Looking at CRM Metadata a bit deeply, this “Searchable” property is translated to “ ValidForAdvancedFind ” property in AttributeMetadata. However,...(read more)

[CRM4] Add/Remove Activities and Notes relationships

Escuchoyo — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:59:00 GMT

When you create a new entity in CRM 4, you have to define if it will have Note and Activities relationships. After you’ve created it, you won’t be able to change it (important to remember it!). However, sometimes we forget it :) and we need to add or remove these relationships later. In that case, we can do the next trick: Export the corresponding entity that you want to add / remove Note and Activities relationships Delete this entity from CRM In the XML file that you’ve exported with the customisations,...(read more)

[WPF/WCF] DataGrid + DoubleClick + MVVM + Loading Splash (description & code)

Escuchoyo — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:02:00 GMT

Using the DataGrid WPF Toolkit, this post shows a simple client/server application to fill a DataGrid according to the information that is provided by a WCF service. When any row receives a double click, a new document (jpeg or docx for this example) is opened by an external application. The application is designed using MVVM pattern, where View and ViewModel are placed in the client side and Model in the server side. In our example, we will show a set of “Alerts” in a DataGrid , so that we will...(read more)
