    I need to pass a parameter from a CRM page to an iframe.  The parameter is an ID field which is not shown on screen but is in the database.  Can someone tell me how to do this?

    Hi Mike,

    If it is the unique entity instance id that you want to get then you can use the ObjectId property of the form to get the value. 

    If it is another field then I recommend you use AJAX to retrieve the value. The post below demonstrates how to do that using fetchxml.

    To pass the parameter to the Iframe you can pass it as a query string.
    The post on my blog demonstrates how to do that.

    On the "Add an IFRAME -- webpage dialog" there is an option that you can check which automatically passes the objectid. 
    To enable this option please check the option "pass record object-type code and unique identifier as parameter." on the add iframe dialog page.

    Now using the code posted on my blog you can read the passed parameter using JavaScript. 

    OR 

    You can user the QueryString property of the HttpRequest object to read the parameter in c# or vb.net.

    You can find sample code at the url below.

    string strTest = Request.QueryString["id"].ToString();

    Please debug the page. The error might not be at this line. The cause of the error might be something else.

    Hi Mike.

    Some thing along these lines should do it.

    var url = "http://servername/pagename.aspx";

url = url + "&param=" + crmForm.ObjectId;

crmForm.all.IFRAME_Name.src = url;

    P Wain,

    Is this all the code I would need to put into my onload event?  Won't I need to declare crmForm somewhere as well?

    Hassan,

    Your blog example is about passing values TO the CRM instead of FROM the CRM.

    Mike,

     You dont need code to pass the ID to the Iframe. Check the "pass record object-type code and unique identifier as parameter."  option and MS CRM will pass the id to the page in the Iframe automatically.

    The code on the site explains how to read a querystring using JavaScript.

    The other link I posted below explains how you can read the querystring using c#.

    I am trying to pass the ObjectID to an .aspx page and then capturing the value using the QueryString :

    string strTest = Request.QueryString["ObjectID"].ToString();

    But I get the error :

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    What am I doing wrong here?
