How to get data from HTML web resource components to CRM 2016 form

How to get data from HTML web resource components to CRM 2016 form.

Hello CRM Developers,

     Here is my new post, In this post I am going to tell how we can get data from html web resource to crm 2016 form events.

 On CRM 2016 from if there is a html web resource  placed in iframe and suppose you have text boxes and check boxes on html page and you want data from text boxes and check boxes on crm form events like on save or on field change events, we can get this data by using below java script code.

Below is a sample code in it we are reading data from check boxes on html page and after reading we can save that data on save event of crm 2016 form.

function readDataFromHTMLPage() {

    //Get web resource control

    var webResCrtl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("WebResource_TestWebPage");

    if (webResCrtl) {

        //get web resource object

        var webResObject = webResCrtl.getObject();

        if (webResObject) {

            //Get HTML document

            var htmlDocument = webResObject.contentWindow.document;

            if (htmlDocument) {

                //Get all check boxes with class name "items"

                var checkBoxes = htmlDocument.getElementsByClassName("items")

                var selectedIntractionCheckBoxes = "";

                for (var i = 0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++) {

                    //Get Selected check boxes

                    if (checkBoxes[i].childNodes['0'].checked == true) {

                        if (selectedIntractionCheckBoxes == "")

                            //write your logic to perform action

                            selectedIntractionCheckBoxes = checkBoxes[i].textContent;

                       

                    }

                }                

            }

        }

    }

}

     Here is my new post, In this post I am going to to tell how we can import crm solution from higher to lower version, Obviously it is not recommended nor we required most of time, we rarely required but we do not know when could we in such a situation or we got a requirement ?

There are some set of instructions by which we can import solution from higher to lower version.
I am taking an example for importing CRM 2016 solution to CRM 2015.

Below are step by step instructions for importing CRM solution from higher CRM version to lower CRM version.

Step 1:- Export solution from higher CRM version.

Step 2:- Open "solution" xml file in any xml editor and find below text.

• version
• SolutionPackageVersion
• behavior

Step 3:- Now change values for version and SolutionPackageVersion and remove behavior="0", like below.

Exported CRM solution file before change

<ImportExportXml version="8.0.0001.0079" SolutionPackageVersion="8.0" languagecode="1033" generatedBy="CrmLive" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

</ImportExportXml>

Step 3:- Now save solution.xml file and compress using only windows compression not with any other compress tool and then import solution to version 7.0 (CRM 2015), I am sure it will be imported successfully.

Note:- this is not supported way and not recommended by Microsoft. Most of time it works but it may not work properly, it also depends on your crm customization. If your crm solution contains minimal customization then chances are higher to work properly.

    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
