      if (!/^[0-9]{4}\-[0-9]{2}\-[0-9]{2}/.test(xmlDate)) {
           throw new RangeError("xmlDate must be in ISO-8601 format YYYY-MM-DD.");
      }
      return new Date(xmlDate.substring(0,4), xmlDate.substring(5,7)-1, xmlDate.substring(8,10));
}

// and using
if(retrievedOpp.attributes["estimatedclosedate"] != null && retrievedOpp.attributes["estimatedclosedate"] != undefined){
     crmForm.all.new_estimatedclosedate.DataValue = parseDate(retrievedOpp.attributes["estimatedclosedate"].value);}

MS CRM Fetch and Retrieve from javascript

This code snippet was writing exactly like recommended in MSCRM SDK 4.09.
I was put it in OnLoad() event of my account form, and in the lookup field(at my example - new_postalcodeid) at OnChange() event I was calling my function.

There is two function that are doing the same work but with different methods.

var authenticationHeader = GenerateAuthenticationHeader();
crmForm.all.address1_city.ForceSubmit = true;

window.GetRegionByIndex_Retrieve = function()  
{

How to retrieve from many-to-many entity.

If you need to retrieve something from many-to-many relationship entity, and there is no such entity in CRM, then you should use the FetchXml, instead of Query.
// Base bodel of FetchXml for get relationship entity
string fetchXML =
"<fetch distinct='false' mapping='logical'>" +
"<entity name='" + relationshipName + "'><filter type='and'>" +
"<condition attribute='" + relatedEntityName + "id' operator='eq' value='" + relatedId + "' />" +
"<condition attribute='" + typeEntityName + "id' operator='eq' value='" + profileId + "' />" +
"</filter></entity>" + "</fetch>";

For example, next code snippet is checking a count of relations between the Account entity and New_Industry entity, wich relationship is many-to-many. To achieve this, I need to check the relationship entity - New_industry_account, wich is contains all of relation of our two entities.
ICrmService crmService = context.CreateCrmService(true);

// check for relation
#region FetchXML
string fetchXML =
"<fetch distinct='false' mapping='logical'>" +
"<entity name='new_industry_account'><filter type='and'>" +
"<condition attribute='accountid' operator='eq' value='" + accountid.ToString() + "' />" +
"</filter></entity></fetch>";
#endregion

string fetchresult = crmService.Fetch(fetchXML);
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.LoadXml(fetchresult);
XmlNodeList xnodlist = xmldoc.SelectNodes("resultset/result");
if (xnodlist.Count > 0) { return; }

Update a number of custom attributes of DynamicEntity with TargetUpdateDynamic.

This code I was used in plugins for updating the custom attributes using Microsoft.Crm.SDK.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;

// Microsoft Dynamics CRM namespaces
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Query;
using Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy;

...

// Extract the DynamicEntity from the request.
entity = (DynamicEntity)retrieved.BusinessEntity;

// declare a property array
ArrayList arrProps = new ArrayList();

// create some property
CrmBooleanProperty new_withindustry = new CrmBooleanProperty();
new_withindustry.Name="new_withindustry";
new_withindustry.Value= new CrmBoolean();
new_withindustry.Value.Value=true;
arrProps.Add(new_withindustry);

// create another property
CrmMoneyProperty new_industrydeal = new CrmMoneyProperty();
new_industrydeal.Name = "new_industrydeal";
new_industrydeal.Value = new CrmMoney();
new_industrydeal.Value.Value = 12345.0m;
arrProps.Add(new_industrydeal);

//   Update the properties array on the DynamicEntity.
entity.Properties.AddRange((Property[])arrProps.ToArray(typeof(Property)));

// Create the update target.
TargetUpdateDynamic updateDynamic = new TargetUpdateDynamic();

// Set the properties of the target.
updateDynamic.Entity = entity;

//   Create the update request object.
UpdateRequest update = new UpdateRequest();

//   Set request properties.
update.Target = updateDynamic;

//   Execute the request.
UpdateResponse updated = (UpdateResponse)crmService.Execute(update);

Dynamic hyperlink in Reporting Services 2008

I had a custom entity - project and was needed to open a project card from the report.
So I had done exactly as saying in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157159.aspx and in the expression field of hyperlink I was typed next

="http://SERVERNAME/ORGANIZATIONNAME/userdefined/edit.aspx?id=%7b" & Fields!projectid.Value.ToString() & "%7d&etc=10005"

SERVERNAME and ORGANIZATIONNAME must be replaced with your crm values.

Registering plugins for event on many-to-many entities

I found that from the box MS CRM 4.0 are not supported the events on many-to-many relationship entities(bridge entities). But Aaron Elder has hack it.

All you need is just register it at AssociateEntities or DiassociateEntities event with empty Primary and Secondary Entity fields.

Window redirect and close

This was the window that was opened from CRM form menu (ISV.Config.xml). The window has received some parameters and then redirected to another window, which is preparing and opening the MS Word document, but the pop-up window was still open - this is rude. So, I've closed it.

// call this code on body onload event
function redirect()
{
    // needed URL of pop-up window or modify current location URL
    window.opener.location = window.location.href.replace(/Default2/, "Default");
    window.top.close();
}

Close window from server-side

// closethe page if successful update
RegisterStartupScript("load", "<" + "script type=\"text/javascript\">\n" +
"self.close();\n" +
"<" + "/script>");

Dim strscript As String = "<"+"script language=javascript>window.top.close();<"+"/script>"
If (Not ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("clientScript")) Then
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Page.GetType(), "clientScript", strscript)
End If

System.Text.StringBuilder sb = System.Text.StringBuilder ();

sb.Append("");

if(!IsClientScriptRegistered("myScript",sb.ToString())
   this.RegisterClientScriptBlock("myScript",sb.ToString());

Mask the phone fields

I was need some mask on the "mobilephone" field in contact card. So I was combine some google search result with my experience and got next code:
//base maskphone function 
window.applyMask = function()
{
    // var of fields wich must be masked
    var ele = document.getElementById("mobilephone");

var FormatPhoneHandler=function()
    {
      var PH = this.value;
      var re = /\D/g;
      // +7 - this is country code of Russia, so this is decision only for one country
      PH = PH.replace("+7","");
      PH = PH.replace(re,"");
     
      if(PH.length <1)
      {
          this.value = "";
      }
      else if(PH.length <= 3)
      {
            this.value = "+7 (" + PH;
      }
      else if(PH.length > 3 && PH.length <= 6)
      {
            this.value = "+7 (" + PH.substring(0,3) + ") " + PH.substring(3,6);
      }
      else if(PH.length > 6)
      {
            this.value = "+7 (" + PH.substring(0,3) + ") " + PH.substring(3,6) + "-" + PH.substring(6,10);
      }
    }

    ele.onkeyup = FormatPhoneHandler;
}

// turn it on
applyMask();

Place this code in onLoad event in the entity wich you need and don't forget change names of the field for the right one.

Remove 'Add Existing...' button from associated view entities form

I was found this code at Dave Hawes blog — http://blog.davehawes.com/post/2008/04/23/MSCRM-4-Remove-Add-Existing-xxxxx-button.aspx
This code should be added to onLoad event for the form of the entity where you want to hide buttons for the associated views of other entities.


HideAssociatedViewButtons('new_account_new_accountclassificate', ['Добавить к этой записи существующий объект Классификация организации']);

function HideAssociatedViewButtons(loadAreaId, buttonTitles){
var navElement = document.getElementById('nav_' + loadAreaId);
if (navElement != null) {
navElement.onclick = function LoadAreaOverride() {
loadArea(loadAreaId);
HideViewButtons(document.getElementById(loadAreaId + 'Frame'), buttonTitles);
}
}
}

function HideViewButtons(Iframe, buttonTitles) {
if (Iframe != null ) {
Iframe.onreadystatechange = function HideTitledButtons() {
if (Iframe.readyState == 'complete') {
var iFrame = frames[window.event.srcElement.id];
var liElements = iFrame.document.getElementsByTagName('li');

for (var j = 0; j < buttonTitles.length; j++) {

liElements[i].style.display = 'none';
break;
}
}
}
}
}

Get selected item in CRM grid

The following snippet will allow you to retrieve an array containing the Id values of the selected records in the grid:

// get array of selected records
var a = document.all['crmGrid'].InnerGrid.SelectedRecords;
var selectedItems = new Array(a.length);
for (var i=0; i < a.length; i++)
{
selectedItems[i] = a[i][0];
}
alert(selectedItems);

To get all of the records in the grid (ie. “All Records on Current Page”):

// array of all records on current page
var iTotal = document.all['crmGrid'].InnerGrid.NumberOfRecords;
var o = document.all['crmGrid'].InnerGrid;
var allItems = new Array;
var ii = 0;
for (var i=0; i < iTotal; i++)
{
allItems[ii] = o.rows[i].oid;
ii++;
}
alert(allItems);
