"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...

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.

To John Leatherbarrow:

You sure you don't want to try to do this in JScript?

After that, I'd have to see your code to be able to debug this. It gets inside of your code and then hangs, so... it's hard to tell you your problem. It doesn't have anything to do with the callout or the connection.

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

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 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

re: Accessing Parent DataItem of a Child DataItem

John Tolle — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 20:58:03 GMT

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 #%>'

To WebTenet:

This seems to be the same issue. If I'm missing something, then step through the databinding event handler of the outer repeater and look at the properties to find the associated datalist and its associated DataItem.

WebTenet — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 10:35:10 GMT

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.

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.
