My app needs an internal calendar. I can create a new calendar like this:
var store = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AppCalendarsReadWrite);
var cacheCalendar = await store.CreateAppointmentCalendarAsync("unique name here");
This succeeds and I get a new calendar. But this calendar is visible in the phone's built-in calendar app. I don't want this calendar to be visible since it's for internal bookkeeping.
So I try to hide the calendar like this:
var store = await AppointmentManager.RequestStoreAsync(AppointmentStoreAccessType.AppCalendarsReadWrite);
var cacheCalendar = await store.CreateAppointmentCalendarAsync("unique name here");
cacheCalendar.IsHidden = true; // <---- make calendar hidden
await cacheCalendar.SaveAsync(); // <---- save; error here
When calling SaveAsyncI get the following exception:
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005
(E_ACCESSDENIED))"
Why can't I hide my calendar from the built-in phone calendar app? Is this an undocumented limitation? Are there other ways to do this?
(Note: I tested this on a Windows 10 Mobile as well as desktop Win 10 - same error.)
Edit/Addition: Since Anthony discovered the IsHidden property is documented as read-only in MSDN here is a screenshot from Visual Studio showing the public setter (which makes it compile, run and seemingly legit to call):
(The app targets Win 10 Build 10586 - maybe it's new, but unfinished?)
Honestly I am surprised this even compiles.
According to the MSDN documentation for AppointmentCalandar
IsHidden - Read-only - Gets whether the AppointmentCalendar is hidden in
the device's built-in calendar UI
This is a read only property and can't be set.
As for your actual question, after carfully reviewing the documentation it appears that this is an oversight in the API. I would raise this concern on the MSDN forums.
This was a bug in 10586 but if you’re using 14393 SDK you can use IsHidden if your app has rights to the calendar without an InvalidAccessException

Good evening ppl at Microsoft!
I have an Mobile App Service at Microsoft Azure Located at South Central US named CeneamApp.
My backend is configured in a way so that my user can access only the data they capture, by making use of stable user ids.
so I had followed Adrian Hall book to create an a user id (https://adrianhall.github.io/develop-mobile-apps-with-csharp-and-azure/chapter2/authorization/)with the following format sid:{identifier}as described here: (https://github.com/Azure/azure-mobile-apps-net-server/wiki/Understanding-User-Ids).
now all my userid had been changed and my user cant access their previous data capture by them, because somehow the provider or issuer or whatever is going on, doesnt let me retrieve a user id as described by the github project team wiki (in the previous link). so instead i receive a new userid but seem to be a random number:
I'm adding screenshot of the essential part of my code at my backend project which i debugged so i could understand whats going on and my dummy database where you can see an stable_id save on it and the new suppose stable_ids the next two rows.
Debugged code retrieving apparently a new userid from FACEBOOK could you confirm about this change? because I havent been able to understand this change.
Dummy Database with the lost userid and the new ones from other accounts database screenshot
if anyone has information about this odd behavior i would appreciate to enlight me, because this line of code:
principal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)?.Value;
used to give me a user id with this format: "sid:{identifier}", now the format is a the screenshot shows.
Same situation here. About to go live and suddenly this. Interesting that only one Mobile App based in the UK datacenter is affected. Other 2 apps which are in production and plus another Web App are still fine.
The full solution can only be provided by Azure team. But I have a workaround and and idea:
1. Workaround.
In the base controller I read and parse the token from the header. The sid is in the subject of the token. The code is simple:
string _userSid;
public string UserSid
{
get
{
if (_userSid == null)
{
KeyValuePair<string, IEnumerable<string>> auth_header = Request.Headers.FirstOrDefault(h => h.Key.Equals("x-zumo-auth", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
string token = auth_header.Value.FirstOrDefault();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(token))
{
var jwtToken = new JwtSecurityToken(token);
if (jwtToken != null)
{
_userSid = jwtToken.Subject;
}
}
}
return _userSid;
}
}
I use it instead of getting this from ClaimPrinciple as per manual. I checked the Mobile App Server code does a very similar thing.
2. Idea.
Azure Mobile Apps have this parameter:
MobileAppsManagement_EXTENSION_VERSION it is recommended to set to latest. I think if we downgraded it to previous version it would work until Microsoft finds and solves the problem. The only issue is that I do not know and could not find the version number. May be someone knows and can post here?
I am trying to develop an add-in for Excel with the goal that it will create calendar events based on data inside a spreadsheet.
I can do almost everything that I want except use the REST API to build the events in the calendar and I can't exactly figure out where I went wrong.
I have followed the documentation suggested by #MarcLaFleur.
I can build and run the application no problem, but when I click on the 'Get my files from OneDrive' button, I get the following:
Code: 5001
Message: An internal error has occurred.
name: Internal Error
This is coming from the program.js file in the public directory somewhere in the else clause of this function.
function getDataWithoutAuthChallenge() {
Office.context.auth.getAccessTokenAsync({ forceConsent: false },
function (result) {
if (result.status === "succeeded") {
// TODO1: Use the access token to get Microsoft Graph data.
accessToken = result.value;
getData("/api/onedriveitems", accessToken);
}
else {
console.log("Code: " + result.error.code);
console.log("Message: " + result.error.message);
console.log("name: " + result.error.name);
document.getElementById("getGraphAccessTokenButton").disabled = true;
}
});
}
Here are the scopes in my manifest.xml
...
<WebApplicationInfo>
<Id>c931b396-7 ... </Id>
<Resource>api://localhost:3000/c931b396-7 ... </Resource>
<Scopes>
<Scope>files.read.all</Scope>
<Scope>profile</Scope>
</Scopes>
</WebApplicationInfo>
</VersionOverrides>
And here are the scopes on apps.dev.microsoft.com:
If you can shed any light for me, it would really help me out.
5001 can be caused by not requesting profile scope. You need to request the profile scope in addition to Calendar.ReadWrite. You do this when you register the app, as well as in the manifest. For more information, see the articles that Marc LaFleur linked to.
The 5001 error often suggests something fundamentally wrong with the add-in API in Office. For example, your Office app doesn't support the API, the manifest is incorrect, or the version of office.js doesn't work with it. Since you're using the sample, two things come to mind:
You aren't running the latest Insiders
build
The wrong manifest is getting loaded (this sometimes happens if you're
on Windows and using a version of Visual Studio 2017 that has old
schema files, so you have to do a post-build clean up of the debug
Manifest XML)
Your manifest and Azure registration look mostly good, though Rick's comment about Scopes is relevant. profile must work with openid as a pair (profile alone won't work; openid alone won't work), and as discussed you need this consented. As the developer, you can try consenting for yourself at the protocol level. You’ll want to update the client_id, redirect_uri, and scope query parameters as appropriate, and add &prompt=consent.
To answer a later question, Excel and Mail add-ins are different, and my answer only applies to Excel. For Outlook there's a different sample.
The documentation can be found at Enable single sign-on for Office Add-ins. There is also walk though for both ASP.NET and Node.js as well documentation on Troubleshooting.
There are a number of things that could be going wrong here but without knowing more about your registration it is difficult to determine. That said, here are a couple of common mistakes:
You'll need to make sure you receive Admin Consent for the tenant you're developing against. This is only a dev requirement and won't be required once your publish to the Store.
Make sure you've pre-authorized the correct applications. You'll need pre-authorizations for:
d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c (Microsoft Office)
57fb890c-0dab-4253-a5e0-7188c88b2bb4 (Office Online)
bc59ab01-8403-45c6-8796-ac3ef710b3e3 (Office Online)
Make sure the scopes you're defining in your manifest.xml are reflected in the app registration at apps.dev.microsoft.com.
If you make changes to your permission scopes, you need to make sure you repeat the Admin Consent process. When you receive consent, they are consenting to the scopes that were registered at the time of consent rather than the App ID itself.
Currently, I found Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls API. unable to make a call or launch different options available to make a call from my app.
And also I try this Code but still can't implement the Phone call function, any solutions for UWP? Thank You.
if (ApiInformation.IsApiContractPresent("Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.CallsPhoneContract", 1,0))
{
PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("0213132131", "my name");
}
I've come with a solution that is working on emulator, I cannot test it on actual device, cause I don't own one.
PhoneCallStore PhoneCallStore = await PhoneCallManager.RequestStoreAsync();
Guid LineGuid = await PhoneCallStore.GetDefaultLineAsync();
PhoneLine = await PhoneLine.FromIdAsync(LineGuid);
PhoneLine.Dial(phoneNumber, nameToBeDisplayed);
You have to add Windows Mobile Extentions for UWP to references of your project as well as declare PhoneCall capability in app manifest.
The line,
PhoneCallManager.ShowPhoneCallUI("0213132131", "my name");
only shows the Call UI. It doesn't make a phone call.
You should use Windows.ApplicationModel.Calls.PhoneLine.Dial to make a phone call. See this for reference https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows.applicationmodel.calls.phoneline.aspx
See this example https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/blob/master/Samples/PhoneCall/cs/Helpers/CallingInfo.cs#L85
I am using Microsoft Dynamics CRM (off premise)
Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Online Spring '14 (6.1.0.575)
Via the javascript SDK making a call to create an entity which fires off a plugin. We do our custom validations in the plugin in pre-validation.
Javascript create call example from here -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334427.aspx
//Create the Account
SDK.REST.createRecord(
account,
"Account",
function (account) {
writeMessage("The account named \"" + account.Name + "\" was created with the AccountId : \"" + account.AccountId + "\".");
writeMessage("Retrieving account with the AccountId: \"" + account.AccountId + "\".");
retrieveAccount(account.AccountId)
},
errorHandler
);
And then I can handle the error using that errorHandler function, like this:
function errorHandler(error) {
writeMessage(error.message);
}
However, I am trying to get the error to display in the CRM error dialog box from InvalidPluginExecutionException. It displays it when I create the entity from a form, but when I make the call through javascript I can't seem to get it to display in the CRM error dialog box. I want to keep with the CRM theme, not use alert() in javascript, and have users be able to download the full exception that we are sending back.
Is it possible to call the dlg_error.aspx page in CRM and populate it with our error message? I am grasping at straws right now, anything would help out a lot. Thanks!
If you are using CRM 2013, I would suggest you to use Workflow instead of JavaScript to create record.
Create a new workflow and un-tick the checkbox "Run this workflow in backgroung (recommended)".
Create record from newly created workflow.
Save and publish the record.
Now go the the ribbon and select 'Run Workflow'.
Select the newly created workflow and click 'Add'.
If there is an error thrown by Plugin, It will be displayed in standard CRM Error dialog box which will allow you to download the log file.
You can try to execute a synchronous jQuery ajax method, without catching error and see what happens. Creating a record from jScript you are using RESTful endpoint of CRM service, I am not sure if the error is going to be promoted in the same way. Try to use Fiddler if you would like to try opening error dialog yourself. Using new synchronous workflow feature might also do the trick.
I have developed a windows phone 8 application. Now I want to display vserv ads to my application.
I have added the sdk to my application and also applied code to show ads:
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
VservAdControl VMB = VservAdControl.Instance;
VMB.DisplayAd(zoneID, LayoutRoot);
VMB.VservAdClosed += new EventHandler(VACCallback_OnVservAdClosing);
VMB.VservAdNoFill += new EventHandler(VACCallback_OnVservAdNoFill);
}
void VACCallback_OnVservAdClosing(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Ad close by user.");
}
void VACCallback_OnVservAdNoFill(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (adGrid != null)
adGrid.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}
But after closing the ad the application page goes blank, all content, application bar automatically goes blank. After using back arrow that quits my application, i try to relaunch my application but application stuck at the splash screen on the emulator.
Wrap ad control inside a grid. Ad control could have manipulated the grid
I encountered the same issue and they have updated their SDK several times. If you provide the stacktrace they will provide you a fix.
Apart from what you have seen, there are other issues with the SDK. I integrated it few weeks back. So issues could have been resolved after that.
Memory leak. Click the ad or navigate back and forth - you will see the memory ever growing. This is because of events not being detached (withing SDK). I was consistently able to see my app crash in 512 MB emulator when banner ad is loaded (after 4 - 5 times). They could have used weak listeners. You might need to tweak a lot to overcome this issue (In multi page app)
RequestAdCallback throws null pointer exception sometimes crashing
the app. When people use app, they will navigate fast - forcing the
webbrowser to unload. All callbacks should be null pointer exception
free. Make sure that you handle unhandled exception globally otherwise app will not pass certification
It reads WMAppManifest.xml as text not as XML. So I had App element commented in first line before the actual one. It picked title from commented XML element
Application bar is manipulated in many events in the SDK. So you have to make sure that app bar is built dynamically. Test all navigation paths.
SDK assumes user will click the left arrow button which fires ad closing event. Try pressing phone back button instead. The app bar still disappears
SDK documentation requests app to demand ID_CAP_REMOVABLE_STORAGE capability. I don't see a reason to request this capability but I didn't add this
I have emailed them all these details. May be their latest SDK could have resolved these issues. But please do thorough testing after integration.
Add a function to load applicationbar using code
private void BuildLocalizedApplicationBar()
{
// Set the page's ApplicationBar to a new instance of ApplicationBar.
ApplicationBar = new ApplicationBar();
ApplicationBar.Mode = ApplicationBarMode.Default;
ApplicationBar.Opacity = 1.0;
ApplicationBar.IsVisible = true;
ApplicationBar.IsMenuEnabled = false;
// Create a new button and set the text value to the localized string from AppResources.
ApplicationBarIconButton button1 = new ApplicationBarIconButton();
button1.IconUri = new Uri("/Images/sms.png", UriKind.Relative);
button1.Text = "sms";
ApplicationBar.Buttons.Add(button1);
}
and then in VACCallback_OnVservAdClosing event handler call the function
BuildLocalizedApplicationBar()
