Applies to Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps version 9.x

Dynamics CRM 365 - Cannot access Xrm.Page.entity in HTML web ressource. But on Dynamics 365 not – Hubert Solecki Dec 2 '16 at 10:42.

This sample code is for Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement. Download the complete sample from Work with late bound entities.

Prerequisites

Internet connection is required to download the sample project and to restore the NuGet packages used in the sample project.

Requirements

For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided here, see Use the sample and helper code.

Demonstrates

This sample shows how to set and retrieve data for entity images.

The sample does the following tasks:

  1. Uses the CreateImageAttributeDemoEntity method to:

    1. Create a custom entity with the schema name sample_ImageAttributeDemo and a primary attribute with the schema name sample_Name.

    2. Create an image attribute with the schema name EntityImage. All image attributes use this name.

    3. Retrieve and update the main form for the sample_ImageAttributeDemo entity to set the <form>showImage attribute to true so that the image is displayed in the form.

    4. Publish the sample_ImageAttributeDemo entity.

  2. Creates five new records for the sample_ImageAttributeDemo entity using five different sized images located in the Images folder as shown here.

    The sample_Name primary attribute field value is the name of the file.

    After each record is created you have the opportunity to view the record in the web browser application using the ShowEntityFormInBrowser method so that you can see how the source images are resized to fit the space available in the form.

    Note

    This code uses late bound entities because the entity is created in the sample and is not available as a strongly typed class. However, after early bound classes are generated, the strongly typed classes could be used. More information: Create Early Bound Entity Classes with the Code Generation Tool (CrmSvcUtil.exe)

  3. Retrieves the records with the entityimage attribute and saves the resized files. After you run the sample you can find the files saved in the binDebug folder.

    The image files are resized as shown here.

  4. Retrieves the records with the entityimage_url attribute and displays the relative URL values you can include in your application to access the images. This query should be more responsive because the amount of data transferred is smaller.

    The relative URLs will look something like the following examples:

    • /Image/download.aspx?Entity=sample_imageattributedemo&Attribute=entityimage&Id=2ed5a666-7b51-e311-9088-00155d9c5607&Timestamp=635205044273046819

    • /Image/download.aspx?Entity=sample_imageattributedemo&Attribute=entityimage&Id=22f17c6d-7b51-e311-9088-00155d9c5607&Timestamp=635205044320978850

    • /Image/download.aspx?Entity=sample_imageattributedemo&Attribute=entityimage&Id=24f17c6d-7b51-e311-9088-00155d9c5607&Timestamp=635205044333049824

    • /Image/download.aspx?Entity=sample_imageattributedemo&Attribute=entityimage&Id=26f17c6d-7b51-e311-9088-00155d9c5607&Timestamp=635205044343080227

    • /Image/download.aspx?Entity=sample_imageattributedemo&Attribute=entityimage&Id=28f17c6d-7b51-e311-9088-00155d9c5607&Timestamp=635205044353421800

    The DeleteImageAttributeDemoEntity method gives you the option to delete the sample_ImageAttributeDemo entity and return your organization to state it was before running the sample. You can’t run the sample again until you delete this entity.

Example

The following is the full code for the sample.

I have problem with integration between MS Dynamics CRM and my javascript app.

I need to setup communication between Opportunity page and my app in the iFrame.

Problem is that when I need to access XRM object in the page, I alway get Access Denied Error

I tried:

When I call this function from IE Dev tool then it works fine. But from my JS app it throws Access Denied.

I read a lot about the iFrame integration but none works with MS Dynamics 365.

The problem with 'Access Denied' may be related with CORS policy if your JavaScript app is hosted outside Dynamics environment. To avoid this problem on one of my projects we were using postMessage API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) instead of direct access to DOM model to send/receive messages between CRM form and IFRAME site.

Teori Konflik adalah suatu perspektif yang memandang masyarakat sebagai sistem sosial yang terdiri atas kepentingan-kepentingan yang berbeda-beda dimana ada suatu usaha untuk menaklukkan komponen yang lain guna memenuhi.

I've written blog article describing how to make it work (unfortunately it is in Polish, but maybe some automatic translation will help;)): http://xrmlabs.piotrgaszewski.pl/?p=455

The parent.window of the HTML web resource that is loaded in an IFrame on a CRM form is actually not the form's window. In fact, in Turbo Forms mode it is not possible to access the form's window using the DOM.

There are a few other options:

  1. Pass the entity id and name to the HTML web resource (MSDN) and query other data needed on your custom page using the web api.
  2. Access the web resource from a script on your form and push the data to your custom page. (Note: do not use document.write as it will not work on every browser.)
  3. Turn turbo forms off (Settings -> Administration -> System Settings -> General -> Use legacy form rendering). This is not recommended, because you will turn it off for all entity forms and it will not provide a durable solution.
