Someone made a metadata browser managed solution to import into 2011 here

http://crm2011metabrowser.codeplex.com/

You have to drill down on the icons in the browser to see the attributes and the relationships for a given entity.

The sdk has this info also:

For 4.0:

The SDK now has a metadata browser solution for CRM 2011 as well.

See the SDK topic Customize Entity Metadata and the first section titled Use the Entity Metadata Browser contains information about how to get it.

For CRM 4.0, open Internet Explorer and type : http://[YOURSERVERNAME]:5555/sdk/list.aspx

I haven´t tried this in CRM 2011, but it might serve

The first link I posted has that the url example you are referring to.

In CRM 2011 unfortunatly there is no metadata browser built in, but someone built a managed solution you can download and import that does the same thing. that is the second link I posted.

Currently I'm facing the same problem, but the metadata browser s not enough, as I need to find more details about each field such as: datatype, size, reqirement level, etc...

The Metadata browser includes all the information available about attributes including datatype, size, requirement level.

If you are using the Entity Metadata Browser from the SDK, (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/crm/archive/2011/03/09/metadata-browser-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011.aspx) Remember that you need to right-click an entity Schema Name from the list and select View Details.

A new window provides all details about that entity. All the properties, attributes, relationships, and privileges.

I hope this helps.

It does not provide all the details ! It provides only schema name, display name and description

Mostafa -

Download the CRM 2011 SDK at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24004

Extract the files and navigate to \sdk\tools\metadatabrowser

Install the metadatabrowser_1_0_0_3_managed.zip managed solution file.

After installing it, look at the solution configuration page for the UI.

As I said before - You must right-click the Schema Name column value where a context menu will allow you to select View Details.

You can also select Copy Schema Name. For customizable entities you can select Edit to open the entity in the default solution.

Admittedly, the context menu isn't very discoverable. But once you know it is there I think you may find it convenient.

If I should select edit to open the entity in the default solution, to find the required metadata then what is the idea behind this metadatabrowser ??

I was looking for listing the metadata in a gridview, however thanks alot for your help

Wow. It seems like you respond to the thread without even trying the steps I've explained.

If you select View Details you will have the ability to view the attribute details in a master/detail view.

If this is not what you need, there are several metadata browsers out there. Make sure to look at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2490.microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-development-resources.aspx for several options to view the metadata.

Good luck!
