Look's like someone's completely addicted to Ebay... tisk tisk!

I would agree with Mike. Most filters work by adding a rank to a grouping of words and  tallying up some sort of weight.

Of course, coming up with a weighted phrase containing "Comments" is hard. Is there any logs or filter options on the clients mail system that you can look at and see what triggered the filter? Most software will tell you...

Hello -

I could not get this to work.May be my situation is different.

<asp:Repeater ID="IssueSummary_Repeater" runat="server"  >

                  <FooterTemplate >
                       </table>
                  </FooterTemplate>
               </asp:Repeater>

On the <select> i want to show which item is selected.The outer Repeater "IssueSummary_Repeater" gets "pkIssueState" from the datasource.
I should be able to match pkIssueState from Outer repeater with pkIssueState from inner repeater "IssueState_Repeater" and print "selected" within the <option> tag.
I tried this <%# DataBinder.Eval(((System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItem)Container.Parent.Parent).DataItem, "[\"pkIssueState\"]") %>

but did not work.Can you pls suggest what is missing.

Hi.

I faced some problems using webservices in a callout.

While running an import script which calls the execute command several times, the callout is executed, but when no more connections available, the following exception is thrown in IIS:

The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send

Remarkable is that, this exceptions does not appear to be thrown back to the import script.

I'm still looking for a possible workaround on this one..

Hi. It seems i've found a solition for my own comment

Add this to your reference.cs:

protected override System.Net.WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri)

       {

           //throw new Exception("Custom WebRequest override code hit!!");

           System.Net.HttpWebRequest webRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)base.GetWebRequest(uri);

           webRequest.ConnectionGroupName = "CrmCalloutA";

           return webRequest;

       }

       [System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("", RequestNamespace = "urn:objective.com", ResponseNamespace = "urn:objective.com", Use = System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Encoded, ParameterStyle = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Bare)]

       [return: System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute("result")]

       public object send(Object request)

       {

           System.Net.ServicePoint sp;

           object[] results;

           sp = System.Net.ServicePointManager.FindServicePoint(new Uri(this.Url));

           //DON'T USE THESE!

           //sp.ConnectionLeaseTimeout = 0

           //sp.MaxIdleTime = 0

           try

           {

               results = this.Invoke("send", new object[] { request });

           }

           catch (Exception ex)

           {

               if (ex.Message.Equals("The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server."))

               {

                   //log the fact that the server has unexpectedly dropped the connection

                   //<insert log code here (couldn't be bothered writing this bit)>

                   //close the client connection (using the ConnectionGroupName set above)

                   sp.CloseConnectionGroup("CrmCalloutA");

                   //reinvoke

                   results = this.Invoke("send", new object[] { request });

               }

               else

               {

                   throw (ex);

               }

           }

           return (object)results[0];

       }

Sweet!

After having searched seemingly forever, your solution was the only one that worked for me.

Verified in Firefox 2.0.0.6 and Safari 2.0.4

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi,

I found error "declaration Expected" for staements

   service.Uri = "any url"

service.Uri = "ASD"

   service.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(<CRM_USER>, <CRM_PASSWORD>, <CRM_DOMAIN>)

   dim userResponse as WhoAmIResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)service.Execute(userRequest)

and when i write 'service' then press dot(.) nothing is shown but when i press ctrl+space then properties are shown.

one thing more; there is no "url" property for service object else it is uri?

Please help me now.

Its urgent.

maybe it didnt work because you didnt close the comment with a ; ?? i dont know-- is that more of a java thing?

can i use this code to resize the Iframe, if so where do i put it, in the onload event of the form? i have struggled with that with 2 clients already.

IFRAME.custom

{

width:    100%;

height:    100%;

border:    1px solid #7b9ebd;

behavior:   url(/_forms/controls/IFRAME.htc);

}

I wish I read your blog earlier, today I spent over an hour trying to count up all the { } that almost blind me.

Hi,

Do I have to use VS 2003 to create callouts

Regards

thank you, vince. It was of great help!

By the way, for those, who are lazy enough, I'd recommend:

http://blogs.msdn.com/arash/archive/2006/08/25/use-visual-studio-2005-to-build-crm-callouts.aspx

I use it being happy to have found it once!

To mgad,

You don't have to use VS 2003 but it is recommended.  I have successfully deployed callouts using VS 2005.  However, you have to deploy them using the .NET 1.1 (1.0) Framework.  VS 2003 uses the 1.1 Framework natively but VS 2005 uses the 2.0 Framework.  You can use a product called MSbee to build VS2005 projects in .NET 1.1 but it's a pain in the @ss.

I have a similar problem, but I need to access the outer repeater's e.item.dataitem within the inner repeater. Let me explain this a bit:

I have some students which I show in a datalist. In the item_databound event of the datalist, I get the studentID through e.Item.DataItem("studentID"). The outer datalist contains another datalist inside it that will show the years the student is there in the college. Inside the 2nd datalist, I have a datagrid that will show the attendance of the student. So it is a report of student attendance displayed by student, by year. I need the studentID inside the 2nd datalists ItemDataBound event so that I can bind the datagrid. How can I obtain the studentID from the parent datalist's e.Item.DataItem("studentID") ?? Let me know if you need more info.

Vince is on the ball on this one.  I scoured Google and eventually did find the answer in another place but didn't realize it until I saw this page because the answer was missing something important.  The key is in casting the parent object to the correct type, otherwise you'll get an exception, normally:

'DataItem' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.Control'

In VB, you can do it like this:

Value='<%# DirectCast(Container.Parent.Parent, RepeaterItem).DataItem.MyPropertyName #%>'

Hi Vince,

fantastic to be able to change the queue view and also easy to call the view manager with this parameter. but how do you in the end publish this customization to become active?

appreciated

markus

Actually I take my questionback. I could publish the changed queue, by simply publishing all customizations, instead of selecting one. I tried this in the beginning, but git confused, because my test case the "Assigned queue" did not show any changes. Funny enough the "Assigned queue" does not seem to be a queue, because the actual queues show the customizations properly.

Anyway, I did not achieve the desired effect. My problem is, that we are abusing the queues as email system inboxes, to such an extreme, that we are not using outlook anymore, but receive and send emails in CRM only. Unfortunately the queues do not show the from-adress of an incoming email activity. This makes our approach a bit wacky. Also customizing it the queue view did not help, since the queue itself does not have the sender information. The creator seems to be always "system" and not the contact, who send the mail.

Tough luck,

I guess,

Markus

Hi

I have an entity that when a field is updated my callout performs a calculation and updates another field to a new value.

This all works ok,  however the performance is really bad.

Im getting the following error in the event log

postupdate, exception: Microsoft.Crm.Callout.CrmCalloutException: invocation timed out.

  at Microsoft.Crm.Callout.CalloutHost.PostUpdate(CalloutUserContext userContext, CalloutEntityContext entityContext)

Any ideas

Cheers

John

hi, can u guide me in hiding the queue for an user, as iam new to CRM iam stuck with that

Hi,good site!

Nope but we're in April 2008 and still no solution...

"I then hide all queues and only show them when the user has access to them"

But how do you hide and show queues? Can you explain this?

Thanks - this is cool and helped me a lot!

But - I would like to show the owner of the "Regarding" associated record.

But when you modify columns on the queue view, you only get a small amount of fields - and not fields from related records.

Any help on this issue?

Thanks in advance.

"I then hide all queues and only show them when the user has access to them"

But how do you hide and show queues? Can you explain this?

Can you show code sample...

hi

do you know how to modified column createdon to show date with time?

Thank you

Best regards

Thom

Pretty nice site, wants to see much more on it! :)

A very interesting and infrormative article.

In the first step (showing the number of items in a Queue) you say "I parse through the html returned by the dll and then send the queue name (from some TD in some table somewhere in the code) to the second method mentioned before and inject some text in the TD's innerText." Can you explain a bit more about how you do this. I can write the webservice that returns the number of items in a given queue, but can't see at what point to call it. Eg, is it from an onClick() event handler on the Queues navtree item? Any info about this potentially very useful technique would be really appreciated.

Regards

Mike Feingold

Thank you!  I've been looking awhile on how to do this.  It's very helpful and simple.
