I'm trying to retrieve an address on a standard entity.
the request is the following :
https://mycrm.api.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/contacts(guid)
In this example, I get all fields, but the ones that is of interest to me is address1_addressid, which seems to be a Guid, referencing some of record, but I cannot find it in the "Many to One" relationship list I retrieved using the following command :
https://mycrm.api.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='contact')?$select=LogicalName&$expand=ManyToOneRelationships($select=ReferencingAttribute,ReferencedEntity)
I would like to retrieve those addresses in a generic manner, as I'm working on a generic NetStandard 2.0 library. I won't be able to know on which entity I'll be working, and thus won't be able to hard-code a list of addresses field names.
Here's one way to find the Contact to Address relationship:
https://myOrg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='customeraddress')?$select=LogicalName&$expand=ManyToOneRelationships($select=ReferencingAttribute,ReferencedEntity)
I got an error with https://myOrg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/contacts(guid)?$expand=address1_addressid.
I looked into the MetaData and discovered that address1_addressid has a type of Primary Key:
While a normal lookup field has a type of Lookup:
Considering the error message that appears when attempting to expand address1_addressid, I think the issue is address1_addressid's data type.
Property 'address1_addressid' on type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact'
is not a navigation property or complex property. Only navigation
properties can be expanded.
It would seem that rather than using $expand to get the address details, you'd have to make a separate call for it:
https://myOrg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/customeraddresses(guid)
UPDATE
By reviewing the full Contact-Address relationship, via this query: https://myOrg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/EntityDefinitions(LogicalName='customeraddress')?$select=LogicalName&$expand=ManyToOneRelationships.
I discovered the ReferencedEntityNavigationPropertyName was set to Contact_CustomerAddress.
The error message before talked about the Navigation property so I gave it a shot. Using that property named allowed me to expand the Address info from the Contact:
https://myOrg.api.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/contacts(guid)?$expand=Contact_CustomerAddress
Interestingly, expanding that navigation property returns all 3 customer addresses:

I want to read PidTag properties from a specific e-mail message via Graph API REST call.
For singleValueExtendedProperties that is no problem as each of them has a specific GUID and in the filter query parameter can easily search for id with the corresponding property.
However I can't do the same with PidTags (i.e. the PidTag PidTagAccess or as OutlookSpy would show it: PR_ACCESS) because all of those PidTags have only the following attributes:
Tag num: HEX
Tag sym: String
Type: PropertyType
Value: Int
Does anyone have an idea how I could get those PidTags from an Outlook message?
I tried to put different types of attributenames into the filter query that weren't listed in the api and didn't really expect it to work. But it's better to try something out rather than to assume it won't work.
Use the proptag format to access properties predefined by MAPI, or by a client or server, and that have not already been exposed in Microsoft Graph. These properties have property identifiers in the 0x0001-0x7fff range. You can find more information about that in the Outlook extended properties overview.
Each predefined property in MAPI has well-defined description in MSDN with a property type, description and its identifier. For example, take a look at the PidTagAccess property description where you can get the required information. In OutlookSpy you may find the same information I believe.
Identifier for PidTagAccess is 0x0FF4 and type is integer, so valid id format for singleValueExtendedProperties is '{type} {proptag}'
Query to read the property:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/{message_id}?$expand=singleValueExtendedProperties($filter=id eq 'Integer 0x0FF4')
Since you are already using OutlookSpy (I am its author), you can build your Graph queries with any MAPI properties in OutlookSpy: click Message button in the Graph group on the OutlookSpy ribbon, click "Query Parameters", check "$expand" checkbox and click the button to the right of the edit box.
In your particular case (PR_ACCESS MAPI property), the query will be singleValueExtendedProperties($filter=id eq 'Integer 0x0FF4')
The header file CoreAudio/AudioHardware.h refers to a class "AudioBox" and indicates that it is distinct from but related to the class "AudioDevice". Searching developer.apple.com yields no hits for AudioBox. There is, unfortunately, a commercial product called AudioBox™, which makes googling for the term painfully low-yield.
Here are the comments containing the references:
kAudioHardwarePropertyBoxList
An array of AudioObjectIDs that represent all the AudioBox
objects currently provided by the system.
kAudioHardwarePropertyTranslateUIDToBox
This property fetches the AudioObjectID that corresponds to the
AudioBox that has the given UID. The UID is passed in via the qualifier as a CFString while the AudioObjectID for the AudioBox is
returned to the caller as the property's data. Note that an error
is not returned if the UID doesn't refer to any AudioBoxes.
Rather, this property will return kAudioObjectUnknown as the value of the property.
The header file: AudioHardwareBase.h contains numerous references to AudioBox, but does not define or explain it, although it associates it with AudioDevice.
Searching the docs via XCode just takes me back to AudioHardwareBase.h.
I can infer that perhaps an "AudioBox" is an audio device that is accessed via a plugin. But this does not appear to be stated anywhere.
So What Is An AudioBox?
An AudioBox is a container of (usually) AudioDevices
I have an external list in SharePoint that references a BCDM I created inside visual studio. The entity as an ID that is auto generated in the database, which means it's read-only.
Create and read method works fine, I'm trying to implement the update method. I have set an input parameter that match my entity and I'm getting this error.
Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity(External Content Type) ‘Notification’ in EntityNamespace ‘Namespace’. Details: The TypeDescriptor with name ‘Id’ in the Method ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.MetadataModel.Static.Method’ on Entity (External Content Type) with Name ‘Namespace’ in Namespace ‘Notification’ is marked ‘PreUpdaterField’, but is contained by another TypeDescriptor marked ‘PreUpdaterField’.
I tried every possible combinaison to make this work, make the id type descriptor read only, pre-updater field = true/ false/, updater field = true/false, removing it, adding another parameter outside the entity. NOTHING WORKS !!! Obviously, I'm about to commit a murder as something so simple just turned out to be the biggest waste of time in my programmation history. What can I do to make this works??
This has been resolved and is explained here:

I have a content type called Author which is referred in another two content types called Novel and Book via Node Reference Module.So we can add author entity to both Book and Novel content types.
Both Novel and Book contain another field called Release Date.
Now I want to show a block which will display the name of book and name of novel in chronological order based upon the release date when user come to that corresponding Author Page.
Ex. Suppose A is an author who is author of BookA(Release Yr-2006), NovelB(Release Yr-2004),BookC(Release Year-2009). When user come to Author A page then he will be shown a block which will show the Books/Albums in chronological order like this:-
NovelB--BookA--BookC
Please suggest as how to achieve in Drupal 7.
You want to display the following field title (I assume the book name is the node title)
For the sorting you can use the sort option in views, it is pretty self-explaining. Choose the name of your release date field.
For the connection between author and books you will have to use a contextual filter (advanced).
Add the author-reference-field from your book/novel (the field you use to refer to the author). Then choose to use a default value (2nd option) and choose content id from url. Now your block will find all nodes that refer to the page with the current page-id. Since we chose to display the title fields, you should see a list.
Note that live preview does not work here, so you will have to go to the actual page to see the result.
UPDATE:
This works when you have re-used the same field for both content types. If you have uses more then one field you will have to use an OR operator to make the contextual filter work. Thanks to d34dman the following page was given to do just that.
Although for new implementations I would recommend using the same field (eg. reference_to_author) for all references from all content types.
Yah..I am able to solve this problem by adding custom code. I have used hook_views_query_alter method and then added join relationship and where clause as per requirement. Please refer to following article for more clarity..

I need to retrieve a list of Active Directory users and their attributes using Delphi 2010.
I've seen a few similar questions on SO (e.g. Delphi - Find primary email address for an Active Directory user), but they all seem to require the user name before any additional information can be retrieved.
I had written an article for [The Delphi Magazine] way back when..... if you have access to a backlog of those magazines, it's in issue no. 62 (October 2000) - unfortunately, it seems those back issues aren't available for purchase anymore :-(
It's too long of an article and a code sample to post here.... basically it's about wrapping the IDirectorySearch interface in a nicer Delphi-like shell. You pass in a base container where to search, you define an LDAP filter, and you define a set of attributes you're interested in - then you search and get back basically an enumerator for the results, which you can get one by one.
In the end, I discovered TJvObjectPickerDialog, part of JVCL. It wraps the Windows Select Object dialog and does everything I need with very little coding. Just set the required properties and call execute. The selected user objects are returned along with the attributes that you set in the 'Attributes' property.
