View 4 RepliesI'm working on a ASP.NET (C#) site that pulls most of its data from Dynamics CRM over SOAP using Microsoft's CrmService SDK. I'm at the point where a query has returned an entity with a property of the type Customer. I need to get the name string of that customer record, but cannot figure out how to do so. By doing a little guess work I figured out that what I have is GUID for the customer. How can I use this GUID to get the customer's name as a string? Relevant Links:

I have see many websites that they show nice tab headings with STEPS: 1. Sign-in, 2- Billing info, 3 - Payment, 4 - Place order While customer ordering items, he/she goes through these steps and gets an experience of using a wizard based approach. one Also this gives good feedback of what are steps involved in the order processing Any details on how to do this wizard kind of functionality in ASP.NET MVC? Is there anything in JQuery UI that might be helpful? I know that I can simply use some text tabs and use different background color for selected step: But wondering if there is more standard or better ways to do this with: ASP.NET MVC, JQuery UI etc.
View 2 RepliesI know this is not the right place to post this question but I dont know where to go. My question is this.I have a statemachine workflow, this workflow works fine until a new requirement is came. The new requirement is to add a new state and event driven but this event driven is fired if the document library item is updated where the workfow is embedded. Is this posible? if so what event activity should I place?
View 7 RepliesThe client wants to see a graphical representation of the workflow. In addition (let's say it is a workflow for processing orders), the client wants to see at what point in the workflow any given order is, indicated on the graphical workflow representation by a highlighted node or some visual queue.
All of this must be available via a web interface.
Was hoping somebody had some bright ideas for how to achieve this without writing extensive custom controls.
Does Workflow Foundation 4 offer anything itself that would assist toward this end?

View 1 RepliesNow i have a database table holds all info of my (customers) such as first last names and address phone number etc ... and i able to edit delete update their info from my side using the admin page that contians gridview i created. If several customers logged into their account pages, and each one wants to update his information,
How can i let the specific customer info be showin on his page for each customer? (I have one databse table and it contains a primery key column called "MemberID") how can i make the new subscribed user get his info that he did input or i would like to add to it, showin on his account page?
I'm not really sure where to start with this and therefore can't pick a more specific area to post. At first I though this might be something I would do in IIS7 but on reflection i think it needs to be at the application level. I am developing an application which will as part of it's function provide a unique website (custom CMS) to my customers. Each person who registers will have their own site accessible via a url such as [URL]. I need someway to take this and work out which customer it is and then load the rest of the pages with their content. So the site may have a home, about us and news pages for example and be themed to the customers requirements. Each of the pages will be the same aspx file and application for all customers but the content and style will be loaded from the database at runtime. I'd like for the duration of the visit for everything to appear as if from this subdirectory without actually creating them for each customer. so thy could visit [URL] but it actually loads [URL] and loads the content based on the customer site the visit is viewing.
I'm not really sure how to approach this. Maybe using a session value to store the customerid for the site the person is viewing which could be calculated from the URL on the first visit. I presume other people have done something simialr in the past. Where it gets more complex is if I then want to offer customers to have there own domain name pointed to the site. In that scenario they would have say [URL] which points to my server and bound to my application [URL]. All pages would have look as though they were on the customer website such as [URL] but still point to [URL] in the background and also somehow link to the customerid in the database to load the correct content.
How can I run an ASP.net 4.0 app in the ISV folder on CRM 4.0? It works if I make the asp.net app target .net 2.0, but if I switch it to .net 4.0 I get 404.17's. Which imply that the script handler setting is missing from my web config, but isn't that built into the .net 4.0 runtime now? (hence it's removal from the web.config automatically). When my app was .net 2.0, I had modified the web config in the proper manner that is well documented on various sites and blogs on the net. Anyone able to get this working? (I need to use a .net 4 web control on my asp.net page)
View 2 RepliesI've written code that can make a phone dial a number from a function call, that's done and dusted. What I would like to achieve is adding a Dial button to each phone number field on the forms in Dynamics CRM. Eventually this could also create a new phone record fill in the basic details and show it to the user to enter notes and an outcome for the phone call, and perhaps some other workflow bits to schedule the next call.
Can I put a custom control on a standard form in place of the standard control. I'm assuming it would have to be an IFrame to an asp.net page, that pulls in the record id, and the field name, looks up the number to show in a text box, and passes the number to the DialNumber function. I assume its not going to be that easy... Has anyone tried this before, what's the process, what are the gotchas?

View 1 RepliesI've an ASCX control (WebParts aren't used in this solution) which interrogates CMS 4's data via the API provided by Microsoft.Crm.Sdk and Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.The solution works until it's deployed to Sharepoint.
Initially I received the following error:
[SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.]
MyApp.SharePoint.Web.Applications.MyAppUtilities.RefreshUserFromCrm(String login) +0
MyApp.SharePoint.Web.Applications.MyApp_LoginForm.btnLogin_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) +30
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +111
Then I tried wrapping the calling code in the ASCX with SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
// FBA user may not exist yet or require refreshing
MyAppUtilities.RefreshUserFromCrm(txtUser.Text);
});
But this resulted in the following error (I'm thinking RunWithElevatedPrivileges isn't for this sort of thing anyway, but someone [SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Security.SharePointPermission,Microsoft.SharePoint.Security, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' failed.
MyApp.SharePoint.Web.Applications.MyApp_LoginForm.btnLogin_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) +0
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +111
When I elevate the trust level in the Sharepoint site to full everything works fine, however I need to come up with a solution that uses minimal trust (or a customised minimal trust). I'm also trying to stay clear of adding anything to the GAC.I assume the issue is occuring when trying to call functionality from Microsoft.Crm.*

How will workflow engine
All too often I find myself being required to design pages that flow through a series of steps. 1) Select from a set of options. Submit.2) Populate a page with results. Make changes. Submit.3) Do something based on the previous results. Submit.4) Confirm previous actions. Submit.5) Goto 1.An ecommerce site with shopping cart would be a textbook example of this.Now, there are any number of ways to deal with this. My question is, what is the recommended way to do it in asp.net? In PHP or ISAPI I would just use standard html controls, get the post data and do stuff with it, each on a different page

View 3 Replies1) the user signs up for the first time. They see 3 different screens, their basic user information, their credit card, and some additional profile information. They complete these 3 steps in a wizard like fashion, where each time they hit "submit" they leave the current screen and move on to the next.2) the user already is signed up. He has links in the navigation to these 3 seperate pages. He can update them in any order. When he hits save, he doesn't leave the page he's on, it just shows something at the top that says "Credit Card Info saved..." or whatever. Possibly using ajax or maybe a full page refresh.I would like to reuse the code not only the view but also in the controller for these 3 screens between the two workflows, but without a ton of if...then logic to determine where to go next depending on whether its a first signup in the wizard or updating individual parts of a profile.

I am planning to build a custom web application in ASP.NET 4.0 using WF 4.0, the user wants ability to modify workflows himself, for this we will be using a WPF client which the user can use and we will do workflow re-hosting, lots of blogs and guidance is available for this. But I am not sure how to the meet one requirement where the user wants to see/track a visual representation (diagram/image) of the workflow, depicting what stages are over, what is the current stage etc. This needs to be done on a web page.Possibly the same workflow with icons depicting status. This is something similar to the visual available for Visio workflows in SharePoint 2010. Even AgilePoint workflows provide such a view.
View 2 Repliesyou could have a workflow which is used for the submission and tracking of tickets, with the scenario that when the support desk goes home all of the active workflows generate an e-mail to the person who submitted the ticket saying that their ticket won't be looked at today.What is the best approach to do this?Is it a custom activity or some other method of enumerating all of the active workflows and firing an event/queueing an item to the workflow queue Clearly from the workflow perspective it would be nice to have an activity within it which is fired when,in the case of the example above the office closes.
