I would like to query Cases on my on-premises DynamicsCRM using a URL querystring.
Something like this:
https://mysvr/foo.aspx?entity=case&query=somecasenumber
I would like to query the field 'Case Number', please notice that it is only an example, anything that can fulfill this need is welcome (since it uses a url to make the query).
I took a look at this link with no luck: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328483.aspx
It seems something very straight forward to have but I can´t find any info on this.
Thanks in advance
Nothing like what you're looking for really exists out of the box. What you linked to kind of works if you can go directly to a view that is already filtered to what you want. Otherwise the closest thing would probably be the OData endpoint. For 2013 it would look something like the following HTTP GET:
https://<CRM SERVER URL>/xrmservices/2011/organizationdata.svc/IncidentSet?$filter=TicketNumber%20eq%20%27CAS-00033-Z3K2P7%27
You could paste that into your browser, but the result will be something like the following (depending on the browser) and not the CRM UI
You can open a record via the GUID
https://<CRM URL>/main.aspx?etn=incident&id={<Case GUID>}&newWindow=true&pagetype=entityrecord
Using Matt's answer above can fetch the GUID. (See below code with snipped from the OData endpoint
<id>https://<CRM URL>/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/IncidentSet(guid'<Your entities GUID is here>')</id>
Once you have the GUID, the URL will take the user directly into the record.
It's a few more steps than I'd personally like, but using some fancy JavaScript, you can perform the lookup, fetch the GUID and create the URL.
An amazing resource for playing with CRM is the open source Chrome plugin LevelUp for Dynamics CRM. The source code there will give you a start into

I am not the cleanest JavaScript coder, so I will not scar your eyes with my "unique style" however I hope I have given you a good starting point.

I'm new to Google's API and I'm having trouble reading the content of a People contact.
To get the details of a particular contact, references show this code should work [Edit: I updated the personfields]:
profile = service.people().get(resourceName='people/c63810788897573286', personFields='names')
The resourceName is the ID of a particular contact (that ID will only work for someone with access to my account). The server grabs it correctly and returns this:
<googleapiclient.discovery.Resource object at 0x10fd183c8>
How do I read the content of this object? I can't figure out from the documentation
I want to print out the Name. I'm pretty new to APIs, so maybe there is a standard way to read an HTTP object or maybe it's something unique to Google's API. Thanks for any advice
I found an answer in another somewhat related StackOverflow. I needed to the add .execute() to the call
profile = service.people().get(resourceName='people/c63810788897573286', personFields='names').execute()
In our MVC website log I can see lot of errors with message "A public action method was not found". Requests are coming with junk action method name.
For example if I have action name "GetProducts" then requests are coming with actiona name as "GetProducts AND 1=1" , "GetProducts;id'" , "GetProductswhscheck".
is this because of internet bots are trying to access my website with junk values?
It may be bots, it may be script kiddies, or it may be crackers. Either way - somebody is trying to find vulnerabilities on your site.
Let's look at the first one:
GetProducts AND 1=1"
This looks like an attempt at SQL Injection. There was probably a longer query after the "1=1", trying to get information out of your database - like usernames, e-mail addresses, and so on.
To defend yourself, make sure your queries are parameterized. You may also want to add some form of rate-limiting on your system; if possible, see if you can add captchas.
You may also want to look at this answer on Information Security Stack Exchange, and the OWASP top 10 security vulnerabilities.
Do this as soon as possible, because somebody's trying to break in to your system.
I'm using the latest ASP.Net WebAPI Nightly builds (dated 2013-01-16).
I have a simple EF database first model at the moment that has two entities - Patients and Visits. Each patient can have many visits.
I'd like to be able to query for my list of patients and have the visits entities for each patient returned inline. I know that WebAPI's OData implementation doesn't yet support $expand. I'm hoping that just means that optional client-controlled expansion is not supported and that I can force expansion server-side.
At the moment I'm not getting any of the visits inline.
For example, my PatientController's() Get() method looks like
[Queryable(AllowedQueryOptions=AllowedQueryOptions.Supported)]
public override IQueryable<Patient> Get()
{
var query = this.entities.Patients.Include("Visits");
return query;
}
I've verified that the query executing against my database does indeed include the visit information.
To use a publicly available OData service as an example, if you use the service at http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/, you can get a list of Suppliers. This is http://http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/Suppliers.
You can also ask for a list of suppliers that includes the list of products using http://http://services.odata.org/OData/OData.svc/Suppliers?$expand=Products
Stepping through the ASP.NET code (via the symbols server) I've got to the System.Web.Http.OData.Formatter.Serialization.ODataEntityTypeSerializer and can see that it's CreatePropertyBag method, which builds up the list of properties to be serialized, just doesn't include the navigation properties, and they don't seem to be enumerated anywhere else apart from being written out as NavigationLinks.
I'm quite new to the ASP.NET world in general and have spent a week or so getting my head around the way things work (particularly with the changes made to OData at the end of 2012 and further changes made so far in 2013).
I suspect that if the ODataEntityTypeSerializer was to be modified (I'm happy to try) to embed this extra information in the appropriate spot (within each navigation link as an nested inline feed as best I can tell) then I'd be set.
Questions:
Have I overlooked something obvious and there's a flag I can set to turn on this behaviour? I can see why, if such a flag exists, it would be off by default (EF lazy loading and this flag wouldn't get on well)
If #1 is no, is there some other ODataEntityTypeSerializer that I could use? If so, how do I switch to it?
If #2 is no, any pointers for where I should start writing my own? Is there a place I can substitute in my own serializer or do I have to maintain my own fork of ASP.NET's Extensions project (as opposed to the Runtime project)
Thanks very much!
$expand is very high on our list of things to support for OData. But as far as I know, we don't have any flag to turn it on server-side. The formatter doesn't currently allow you to substitute your own serializers either. So I'm afraid your only option in the meantime is to create a fork and add support for $expand. If you manage to get it working, please consider sending a pull request our way:

You can try it already in webapi nightly builds.
Here is how to install it with nuget:

Im pretty new to struts2 and Ajax ,Actually i have a drop down menu in JSP lets say first.jsp, When user select a choice from dropdown menu,I am calling a function of Action class lets say Method1.In this method i am fetching some value from DB(lets say:a,b,c) and one value from java memory lets say d.Then I am forwarding to second.jsp and display all the parameters(a,b,c and d) in tabular format.
Now problem is that the parameter d is dynamic ,this is updating by some other application and if its change then I have to show it on JSP wihout any action.
One solution is I use in second.jsp , so after interval of 10 second again Mehod1 will call and it will fetch value(a,b,c) from db and updated value of d from java memory. and disply it to second.jsp.But in this case i am unnecessary retrieving value from db while my purpose is just to get value d from memory.This is working but this is causing my application to slower.
Can any body suggetst some other solution? or can i do it using ajax and how?
Any other advice? any help is appreciated.try to be more clear, i'm in lack of ideas in this problem, even it sounds like a classic :I have spend hours trying to play around with this but have got nowhere
Okay... What you're asking is a little fuzzy so let me rephrase:
You have a user (USER1) who opens a web page and sees some data.
You have a second user (USER2) (who may be an application) who is able set a value from time to time.
When USER2 updates that value you want USER1 to see it change in their open browser window?
If this is the case you need to understand basic ajax. For that get these demo applications working:
This example uses dojo and perhaps the S2 ajax tag lib I don't remember I prefer not to use ajax tags (as they are deprecated and prefer jquery for ajax):
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html
This example here shows a very similar application but using jquery, no tag library, upgraded to Spring 3, it still needs polish:
http://www.kenmcwilliams.com/Downloads/
Now that you know how to get data via ajax, look at the request with firebug. You'll see that the request is just like a typical function call, the browser keeps waiting for the data to come back.
What you do is simply not return from the action until new data is provided. This is called long polling see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29#Ajax_with_long_polling
If you have not written a simple chat program, using just terminal windows I recommend you do so. Two windows per client (client-send, client-receive windows) and you'll need a server program. I remember hacking one together in a few hours using _Thinking In Java 2nd Edition (Later books took out the networking section if I remember correctly). Anyways between understanding client server interaction and long polling will let you get things working. It would be fun to extend the simple terminal based chat application to a S2 ajax chat application. Would make an awesome tutorial! PS: This is just an application of the producer/consumer problem (If you understand that then I guess you don't need to do the fun exercise).
The interfaces would look very pretty if the server was managed by spring. I know there must be nice servers already written but I am not familiar with any, but would love to hear of one.
How would you suggest working with files that is stored on the note of a entity in Crm. Could you write a generic method that will enable you to access any type of file? Or would it be better to have a method for dealing with each type of file?
For example, we are going to be saving a mix of swf files and xml files on the entity, so would it make sense to have a method each for example:
GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
When you upload an attachment to CRM the mimetype is also saved as part of the record information.
The following link contains a nice example of how to download the attachemt using a single method. http://crmscape.blogspot.com/2009/10/ms-crm-40-sending-attachments-to.html
The post is missing the actual query needed to retrieve the annotations but you can tell what columns are required from the method signature.
My suggestion using your methods:
* GetXmlFilesOnAccount(accountid)
* GetSwfFilesOnAccount(accountid)
Retrieve account activitypointers by regardingobjectid(in your case accountid guid)
Loop through returned activitypointers
Get attachments for each activitypointer (activitypointer.activityid = activitymimeattachment.activityid)
Store attachments (disk, etc)
You don't even need two methods. You can retrieve all attachment file types for a given note (annotation) with a single method.
Hope this helps.
I recently started an Open Source Project on CodePlex to accomplish exactly that. Feel free to check out the Project's Web Page at:
