    Hi,

    I've created a chart in CRM 2011 for a custom entity. On the form view of the entity, I have created custom ribbon buttons. I have an HTML web resource which opens (using window.open) on click of one of the ribbon buttons of the entity.

    Now, I have an IFrame on the HTML page where I want to display the chart I had created earlier.

    Is there any way to do that, since there is no URL generated for the chart, therefore I cannot directly give it in the source of the IFrame.

    Or any other way, even without using an IFrame. I just want that chart to be displayed in my custom web resource HTML page.

    Thanks

    Anuj,

    This is not possible in a supported way.

    Charts in CRM are loaded by making a POST request with several parameters to a server page (Visualization.aspx). It should be possible to do the same from your own custom web resource, but you must keep in mind that these parameters are not documented and may change in future releases.

    Thanks,

    Arko.

    Hi Guru,

    As I have mentioned before, these parameters are *not* documented and there is no guarantee that we will continue supporting the same in future releases. So I would strongly discourage you from taking a dependency on them.

    For your information, all the required parameters are part of a blob of XML that is posted to Visualization.aspx to render out the chart. You should be able to see the contents of this XML using Fiddler.

    `Hello Anuj,

    The IFrame source should do the trick.

    Hi Cornel,

    What you are saying is true, but since the charts are not URL addressable, which URL should I give in the source of the IFrame?
