Build errors in Customer Portal RRS feed

    I installed CRM 2011 RTM and the customer portal. I then installed the updated code from SDK 2011 V2 published last week. I used CrmSvcUtil.exe to generate a new XRM.CS from the new deployment created with customer portal RTM installed and matched the namespace of XRM and service context name of XRMServiceContext.

    I am able to get the XRM project to build with zero errors however I get 16 errors when I attempt to build the customer service portal. Many of the errors are similar to "cannot implicitly convert type 'INT' to 'Microsoft.XRM.SDK.optionsetvalue'.

    It seems I must've missed something, any ideas?

    This looks related to article: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/crmlabs/thread/2a8e06e1-8989-4e02-acad-4bef743927e5 which suggests that the Customer Portal version 1.0 on the and  CrmSvcUtil.exe are NOT compatible.

    I can't find PortalGen to download and it does not appear to be part of the Customer Portal RTM 1.0 download. Please provide access to PortalGen f this is the issue.

    You are missing a critical parameter in CrmSvcUtil to bring in the custom code-dom that the portal requires.  There is a file called CrmSvcUtil.cmd in the CustomerPortal folder that is set up for you to use.  Here is the command:

    $0\..\..\Microsoft.Xrm\bin\CrmSvcUtil /codeCustomization:"Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration.CodeCustomization, Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration" /out:Xrm\Xrm.cs /url:http://Crm/Contoso/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc /domain:CONTOSO /username:administrator /password:pass@word1 /namespace:Xrm /serviceContextName:XrmServiceContext /serviceContextPrefix:Xrm

    Note that you MUST use the /codeCustomization parameter.

    As a follow up, I downloaded the ADXStudio XRM Portals code ver 4.0.0002 which does NOT have Portalgen.exe in it and ADXStudio XRM Portals code ver 4.0.0001 which does have Portalgen.exe in it. When I ran it with the current set of SDK dll, it failed. But when I ran it in the library of framework dll's that came with it all dated 1/31/2011, it created my new Xrm.cs file and the build succeeded. I was the able to build the Customer Portal without build error.

    From this I conclude that:

    1. The CRM 2011 SDK Version 5.0.2 crmsvcutil.exe in the SDK library is not compatible with Customer Portal RTM Ver 1.0

    2. the version of crmsvcutil.exe in the AdxStudio XRMPortals ver 4.0.0002 is the same as the crmsvcutl in the SDK - NOT compatible with the RTM CRM 2011 and Customer Portal ver 1.0

    3. the version of Portalgen.exe in the AdxStudio XRMPortals ver 4.0.0001 IS COMPATIBLE with the RTM CRM 2011 and Customer Portal ver 1.0

    4. There is no other version of Portalgen to be found from Microsoft download sites at this time.

    I hope this helps anyone else stuck on this bug!

    Hi Stephen,

    Portalgen.exe was released temporarily with the customer portal ctp. What version of CrmSvcUtil did you use? The latest one is dated 3/1/2011 and should be compatible with the portals. You do need Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration.dll from the latest SDK which is the extension library for CrmSvcUtil.

    OK, let me research this more. First I reverified that I have the 3/1 version of the two files as specified from teh most recent SDK in the Tools directory and re-ran the command on the crm server

    OK, I spent 2 hours verifying what I spoent 8 hours researching before I wrote this reply above. Either the Portal project has 15 errors in it or you have not fixed CRMSVCUTIL.

    May I respectfully suggest that you actually test what I have now tested twice and then advise me on this. I have retested and get the same results!

    I am seeing errors in the unmodified pages in the project such as

    What is the exact command line you used to regenerate the file?  (obfuscate your credentials, but give a true rendition of the command line otherwise).

    Thanks Shan! I'll give that a try. I had seen it both ways so was working to simplify.

    (Later) OK! that did the trick, I appreciate the help.

    Its because you are not only wrongly generated xrm.cs.

    But also maybe missing references in XRM project- just add them manualy and rebuild...

    Go to XRM - references and add the 3 that are corrupted : Microsoft.xrm.client, Microsoft.xrm.portal and Microsoft.xrm.sdk

    for online the right command is:

     

    CrmSvcUtil.exe /codeCustomization:"Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration.CodeCustomization, Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CodeGeneration"/url:https://XXX.api.crm4.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc /out:xrm.cs /username:"name" /password:"pass"  /namespace:Xrm  /serviceContextName:XrmServiceContext  /serviceContextPrefix:Xrm
