When I press F12 to see the error in IE developer tool it shows

edit.aspx?etc=....
<!DOCTYPE HTML PULBIC "..//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "" ""><HTML>...



After doing bit of search I found out that this has started happening after Rollup 12+

Resolution:
Make sure all the javscript libraries are starting with the $webresource: prefix

After installing RU 16 and then 17, one of the working webservice stopped working

We have a webservice  which was built using 32 bit dll and is used within crm, for that purpose we created a new application pool to run for .net 4 but to allow 32 bit application to run.
This was working fine, however

After RU 16 and 17 were installed, I started getting error

"HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Server\bin\DefaultAddonFilter.dll" failed
...
Handler: ExtensionlessUrl-Integrated-4.0

"

Resolution:

1. Copy the "Microsoft.Crm.Core.dll" to the bin folder of webservice
2. Go to the app pool and click on "Advance Settings..." specified in the Actions properties area and set the 'Enable 32-Bit Applications" to False.
3. Add the node <clear/> in the configuration/system.web/httpModules node
<httpModules>
   <clear />
</httpModules>
4. Add the following section in the configuration/system.webServer/handlers node as below
<handlers>
     
<clear/>
     
<add name="svc-Integrated-4.0" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />

<add name="svc-Integrated" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />

selectSingleNode error after crm 2011 rollup 16 installed

The processes which were working before start giving 'selectSingleNode' error, after doing little bit of search I found out this is happening due to from rollup 12 and plus, CRM 2011 gives multibrowser support. And the javascript file referenced had i.e. specific calls. http://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/gonzaloruiz/archive/2013/02/13/javascript-xml-processing-dom-and-crm-2011-ur12.aspx

import crmsolution failed after update to rollup 16

workflow.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8da8c71e-84af-441e-b99b-0b59399f10f6#enable_disable

2. $setting = get-crmsetting customcodesettings
   

3. $setting.AllowDeclarativeWorkflows="True"
   
   

4. set-crmsetting $setting

F-12 in model window and clear cache in IE

I had a requirement where we have to show a custom web page as a model window, I have used jquery on the custom site and was trying to hit a break point, I was hitting couple of issue first one was the javascript file was not getting updated as it was a model window I wasn't able to press CTRL+F5, to sort this out

Press F12 on the main I.E and got to Cache and then select 'Always refresh from server option'

Second issue I was hitting was I wasn't able to open debug window by pressing F-12 on model window. To sort this out

In the main window Go to Internet Options then select Security Tab and then click on the Custom Level button and under Miscellaneous options select the 'Disable' option for the 'Allow websites to open windows without address or status bars.

how to get access to parent record from the new entity record opened using the lookup view

I had a requirement where we got a lookup field on the entity form and on click of that lookup user is able to either select existing record or click on new record, the new record needs to have reference of some selects which user have specified in the initial form.

CRM passes the details of parent window in the url, and used the following code  to extract the id
 
var idMatch = (/currentid=([^&]+)/i).exec(parent.window.opener.location.search);

if (idMatch != null) {

var id = idMatch[1];

    id = id.replace("%7b", "");

    id = id.replace("%7d", "");

return id;



}
