I have a workflow that has a 'Prompt and Response' dialogue. I can run the workflow from the API using ExecuteWorkflowRequest but how do I provide values for the prompt and response inputs? Grigory Workflows don't take parameters. Dialogs take parameters, which are generally passed from other dialogs or queries. The only thing I managed to do is to pass a related entity from parent workflow as the primary entity to a child workflow. I'm going to retract my earlier answer and upvote @Grigory instead. See this page from the SDK Note Due to the interactive nature of the dialog process, you cannot

What I'm Trying To Do I've got a CRM entity (LocationSettings) that is displayed as an associated Sub Grid on another entity (Location). I want to add a button to the subgrid ribbon for the LocationSettings entity that will basically delete all LocationSettings for the Location the user is currently viewing. Where I'm At I'm using the Visual Ribbon Editor for CRM 2011, and I have been able to successfully create the button, and add it to the ribbon, but when I try to add a display rule to only allow the button to show up when the user is on the Location entity form, viewing the

this is a working example of a plugin that I have written for CRM 2011. I have created a 'Create' step in the plugin registration tool for this plugin. This executes fine. I also have an 'Update' step registered for the plugin. This fails to execute because the primary contact returned is null. These steps are both registered as asynchronous. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk; using System.ServiceModel; using System.IO; using System.Net; namespace CRMNewsletterPlugin { public class NewsletterSignup : IPlugin { public

When I design a QueryExpression , I've always used the following, hard-coded syntax. QueryExpression expression = new QueryExpression { EntityName = "account"; ... } In this blog the following syntax based on this enumeration is used. QueryExpression expression = new QueryExpression { EntityName = EntityName.account.ToString(); ... } I liked it much better but I couldn't find it using intellisense. Then I've found this discussion where it's explained that the syntax is deprecated. So, what should one use instead of EntityName ? I've googled it a bit but can't find anything useful. It seems to

I'm looking to interact with my Microsoft Dynamics CRM system from my iPhone, performing tasks such as pulling down, updating, creating and deleting records. Is this possible? If so, can anyone link me to any good resources on the matter or provide me with any information you feel would be relevant? Many thanks, Jack Yes this will be possible and there are at least some relevant pointers in the CRM SDK (Development from Non-.NET Clients in Microsoft Dynamics CRM) however general support and anecdotal information is sparse (in fact the referenced topic and it's links are all that exist in an

I want to convert or qualify a lead into opportunity, but the lead has some self-define fields and I also want these self-define fields to go into the opportunity automatically. How to do it? You can do by editing the mapping of the relationship. You can define the source field and the corresponding target field As Guido said, you just need to modify the Lead- Opportunity Relationship. When you go to your solution, go to the Lead entity and to the relationships tab, there look for the Opportunity one, when you open it you will see a Mappings tab, there you can define which fields will be

Is there any way to call the MS CRM web service from JavaScript from a web page that is NOT a CRM web page (i.e., not in the load or save event in a CRM form, but from a stand alone web page)? A second question: is there any way to call the MS CRM Web Service from VBScript? Ideally I'd like to do this in CRM 2011, but would be happy to have an example from CRM 4.0. I'm thinking I'm going to have to write a wrapper web service to do this but I would rather not go that route unless necessary. Brian From my reading and experimentation, it is not possible to call the oData endpoint from an
