Hello, I have an asp.net page. I would like to know how to add stuff to the CRM's form so that I can get a field name from the URL and pass that query string parameter to my page?

For instance, the form has "Last Name" field, and when the user clicks on the "Details" tab, there's an IFrame with a URL to my asp.net page http://localhost/test/default.aspx?LastName="test"

The LastName="test" .. how to pass that to my URL?

var myData=crmForm.all.crm_field.DataValue;

How do I know what my crm_field and dataValue is? I am interested in only the last name.

Hi,

The crm_field here refers to the name of the attribute that you require(example name for "Account Name" field on the form), and DataValue returns you the value of the field on the form which you need to pass.

You can get the name of the attribute by clicking on the form field->Change Properties->Name tab on the form customization window.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

in most of similiar threads solution is mentioned based on IFRAME parts within entity FORM.

That is simple and good for some deployment scenarios. Because IFRAME is allways populated it is not suitable for large scale deployements as it creates plenty of reguests/trafic/loads. For such deployments it make sense to invoke action based on user demand - so Left Navbar click or Action menu click.

But what about passing params to left nav bar configured in ISV.CONFIG.

Any idea ?

So far I have to read entity values with Web Service request - that is pitty as the Form is open on client allready.

Thanks for any idea in this scenario.

Thank you uMar,

I discovered with the help of book Programming Dynamics CRM 4.0 that NavBar and Form are in fact in one script - so there is no difference in way how to use script technics available from SDK.

Thanks again

uMar

the issue I face is that NavBarItem does not contain script attribute. There is only Url.

In such case I do not know if there is even way how to construct isv.config to build dynamic Url.
