I have been using Stunnware's Javascript Factory for CRM and that does this plus a whole lot more. Great Tool for $420.

I haven't added in the ability add more than two levels of linked entities but I did add order-bys and not null checks.

One of these days I'll add the ability to do more linked entities.

Andrew - Thanks for the post - your method is a LOT more efficient!

I'm wondering: Have you found a way to make this work for a third or fourth linked entity?

To clarify: From your ASPX page (IFRAME) are you calling a web service on another machine to handle data access? If so, the credentials will not go along with it. In this double-hop scenario you have a couple options. One, you can set up kerberos to propogate the credentials. From what I hear it is a lot of work.

Or two, you can set up your website of the web service to run as a user who has access to the CRM database's security group. In this case you will probably want to have this run as a server account that no one else uses. This would require you to burn a CRM license key.

Hi Shai,

Can you elaborate on your error? Are you having problems connecting to the database using windows authentication. You will want to double check that you putting the code in a folder under the /ISV/... directory. If may also having problems while running it using .Net's built-in web server (casinni), since it uses may run under a different account than the user (ASPNET, ect). Lastly, make sure you have the IFRAME set up to allow for cross-page scripting. Since the ASP.Net TreeView uses JavaScript behind the screens, it won't work unless you allow for it.

Also, to comment on your message on the forum, I would stay away from using the CRM web service, because of performance concerns with a larger hierarchy.

Send me over the error you are getting. Hopefully I can help out.

This sample is not working when SQL Server is on different machine from the CRM Server. (Double Hops)

This is a really good concept, Andrew, and I think you should see it through to completion. Make this completely like the .Net SDK.

You should make all of those "var"s into enumerations. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN create enumerators in BLOCKED SCRIPT

var LogicalOperator = { And:"And", Or:"Or" };

alert(LogicalOperator.And);

Now you can use LogicalOperator, just like in .Net :)
