Here's a snippet from an APRESS book on using COLUMNS_UPDATED()
SELECT ColumnName = [column_name]
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS...
This is insane.
I have a user control test.ascx. It is a valid user control, containing nothing but a string of text to display. In an ASPX page derived from the Sharepoint base page type, it displays perfectly happily as a web part.
I put a copy...
So, I have this customer upgrading from Access 97 runtime to Access 2003 runtime for an application I support. After a few days of dev and testing, we sign it with a self signed certificate, generate the MDE file, and get ready to put it on a production...
Now, you would think this should be pretty straight forward by now. But it's not.
Scenario: I am subscribed to a users calendar as follows:
BaseFolderIdType[] folders = new BaseFolderIdType[1];
DistinguishedFolderIdType folderId = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();...
1. Enable ISV.Config in your web.config file
2. Modify _Resources/isv.config.xml
3. Modify <Install path>\SM\Gantt\style\GanttControl.css to include your new styles
4. Recycle the CRM AppPool
For point 2.
In isv.config.xml...

Well, after a year of working with CRM 3.0, and some not too infrequent arguments with Microsoft about the vagaries of its internal workings, I finally decided to get my CRM Certification in the week or so before Christmas.
I managed it, but it wasn't...
I've just started working with CRM4 plugins.
And I've got a couple of questions.
1. SdkTypeProxy seems to support the "standard" entities and their standard properties. But is there a way to work with custom properties and entities without reverting...
I have this game I play. It's called "Make blog posts for error messages no-one else has ever seen".
This is the latest for MS CRM 3.0.
There is an error in XML document (1, 1523). ---> Microsoft.Crm.CrmException: Cannot convert local time to universal...
This was a fun little exercise.
As it turns out,
SELECT [OrganizationId]
,[UserGroupId]
,[PrivilegeUserGroupId]
FROM [dbo].[OrganizationBase]
Will get you the information you need.
We needed to find this out due...
I'm starting to wonder if I'm getting SPAM based on the content of my website.
This one got me because I thought someone was asking me for help.

I just spent 3 hours trying to work out why one of two methods on a web service was failing with a NullReferenceException when both methods accepted the same first 3 parameters (one of which was apparently null) from the same 3 variables, and the other...
In IE 7, this control works beautifully.
In IE 6, it animates the collapse of the panel, then reverts to the full size of the panel.
As far as I can determine, the cause is these two functions in the BLOCKED SCRIPT
get_TargetHeight : function()...
What the hell does that mean?
That was my initial response.
I uploaded a new version of my .NET 2.0 website. In the process I had changed it from a File based web site, to an ASP.NET web application (same as for .NET 1.1)
After uploading...

You may have heard of Terry Dean.
If not, you can check out his post above.
You might ask why I'm making this post.
Because Terry asked, and it gives me the chance to win a Jay Abraham course I've...
Yet another fun instance of CRM doing strange things.
Ok. I need to create an email (no problem, done it in a workflow, and a scheduled task).
Then I need to "Send" it (not really sent, just marked as sent, I'm actually using it to record an SMS)

Welcome to one of the least mentioned errors you can get with CRM 3.0.
"Unexpected error occurred" is worse, but at least it has web pages.
When I wrote this post, the only references to this error were the two Microsoft pages that list the CRM...
I'm going to need a wall at this rate.
I came home last night to find not 1, not 2, not 3, but SEVEN envelopes from Microsoft.
Two contained certificates for completing MCPD and MCTS, and the other 5 have certificates for being a charter member (pre...
So what is a TypeInitializationException?
"The exception that is thrown as a wrapper around the exception thrown by the class initializer"
So what is a "class initializer"?
A static constructor
But I don't have a static constructor on my class.
If...
I normally use static variable declarations like so:
private static ArrayList m_Cards = new ArrayList();
With some code I was working on I recently had to switch to using Thread Static variables
[ThreadStatic()]private static ArrayList m_Cards = new...
I was trying to deserialise a class from a string using the SoapFormatter today.
As part of the process, you have to put it into a stream.
So I used System.IO.MemoryStream and System.IO.StreamWriter to do so.
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(stream);...

I thought the "Web Deployment" addin for VS 2005 was great. Until I used it on a site using profiles.

I'm having the MOST fun ever with Win32 API calls in XP SP2 at the moment.
I'm trying to launch documents when the responsible executable (eg Word) is not in a known location.
This is the same as double clicking on a document.
For this example, I am...
I really hate failing exams.
BTW, 70-553 covers sections from 70-526, 70-528 and 70-536
More so when I think the examiner is wrong.
Several of the questions seem incomplete to me.
Worst (that I can remember) is this one though.
