Configuring ASP.NET Web Service

Hi,

Well today i created a webservice which would fetch me some data from oracle database. The method signature was something like this

public DataSet getEmpInfo

{,,,,,,,,,,,,,}

I was calling this webservice within form’s onLoad inside the a custom entity of Microsoft Dyanmics CRM3,0. 

I deployed it in my machine and when i was opening the my custom entity form inside CRM in my machine, i was able to see the values fetched using ajax calls to webservice.

But for other machines i was getting an internal server error for my ajax call.

Finally the error got resolved when i included this inside the web.config for my webservice

<webServices>
    <protocols>     
        <add name=”HttpPost”/> 
        <add name=”HttpGet”/>  

 </protocols>
</webServices>

By the way, I was using POST in my xmlHttpRequest object Open method.

Plzz check out these links to better understand web services.

Hiding or disabling elements in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0

Aim : To disable the close opportunity menu item from the Actions Menu for Opportunity form.

Put the following code in the Form_Load script of the Opportunity form

document.getElementById(‘_MIcomplete’).Style=”display:none” ;

Put the id of the menu item there
To get the id name for any particular menu item

• step 1- open the opportunity form in crm.

• step 2- press ctrl+N to open the same form in a new window.

• step 3- right click go to view source and find the id of the required element.

Same thing we can do for buttons added through isv.config as well as other elements

ISV_New_1_199_Billing.style.display = “none” ;
