How to get all the custom fields values from dynamics crm 11? - dynamics-crm-2011

i'm using OrganizationServiceProxy to get all the fields values from the CRM server.But its returning only used fields values.It doesnt have unused custom field values. :( . how to get all the custom fields values from crm2011.?
using (ServiceContext svcContext = new ServiceContext(cons.createProxy(logfilePath)))
{
var contactlist =(from a in svcContext.ContactSet
where a.new_proid.Equals(contact_id)
select a);
}
"new_proid" is custom fields.Its not available but all the other defaults values is available.

In your code you are using Early Bound, this means you generated the helper classes using crmsvcutil.exe from the SDK.
If you don't see some fields inside the Contact class it's because the field was created after the classes were generated.
You need to generate again the helper classes and include the new version inside your project.

soapClient.GetList does not return CustomFields, created in Acumatica I300 course

Acumatica course I190 shows how to create custom fields. I followed the tutorial and created two custom fields for Stock Items.
Acumatica course I300 has an example of exporting StockItems, procedure RetrievalOfDelta.
However, call soapClient.GetList(stockItemsToBeFound) does not return the CustomFields, even though I changed ReturnBehavior = ReturnBehavior.All, and can see values of all other fields.
How to include the CustomFields to be returned by GetList?
Thank you.
For guidelines on broad general topics like API Custom Fields refer to documentation.
You need to extend the default endpoint and extend the entity (stock item).

Use populate action to add custom fields to the extended entity.

E-Commerce Product Custom Field Kentico 10

I am using E-commerce module of Kentico portal and it has two fields for Products pricing : SKUPrice and SKURetailPrice.
I needed one more field to show sell price and I added a new field in Modules application of the portal.(Modules->E-Commerce->Classes->SKU->Fields->New Field)
Now, I need to access this field in my code,but SKUInfo class doesn't show me the newly added field.What I need to do so that the newly added field reflects in my project code ?
I have already build the entire solution multiple times.Any other solutions please.
You can use GetValue and SetValue methods for such fields like this:
SKUInfo sku = ...;
string a = sku.GetValue("field").ToString();
sku.SetValue("field", "value");
JanH has the answer for custom fields you set, also keep in mind though that there is a "SKUCustomData" for other information that you want to store. It takes a Name-Value pair dictionary if memory serves me correctly, and useful if you need to store configuration information or other things that won't be located on the normal SKU table.

pimcore: updating objects with localized fields

I have a weird problem when updating objects in pimcore.
I've created a class containing some normal and also localized fields and then some objects from that class.
It is possible to edit all objects directly via pimcore, but the only ones which can be updated through controllers are the ones where all localized fields are filled, although some of these fields may not be used in the form. That is, an object won't be updated unless all its localized fields are filled before.
Any hints?
EDITED:
Here is a piece of code from my controller :
$newTitle = Object_TitleArchive::getById(251);
$newTitle->setName('New Name');
$newTitle->save();
It does not work unless all localized fields of the object are filled before or given now.
Revision: 3086
Check under Settings -> Object -> Classes, and then under the class you have defined. If the components placed under the localized field has the checkbox Mandatory Field checked, remove that check or fill in values for all required languages.

How to find unused/non-dependent fields of any entity in CRM 2011?

I am trying to identify unused or non-dependent fields of any entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. By unused or non-dependent i mean the field that is not used in any of the entity forms.
I have googled to find on the same topic but couldn't get the desired results. One link that i have come across also doesn't address this problem:
Finding unused CRM fields
First I should note that just checking if a field is not on a form does not mean it is not being used somewhere. There is a chance if you have a third party integration, or other logic running on an entity that it could be updating hidden fields. If you're unsure if there is data stored for an attribute you can do a retrieve request where your condition is that the attribute is not null. If nothing comes back then there is no data stored for that attribute.
Assuming that is already clear, what you'd want to do is utilize Dynamics CRM's Dependency Tracking to check for dependencies of individual attributes.
Here's the full article on Dependency Tracking for CRM 2011: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg309749.aspx
The request that sounds most like what you're looking for is the RetrieveDependentComponentsRequest. This request seems to be the closest match according to what you're looking for and per the documentation:
Returns a list of dependencies for solution components that directly depend on a solution component.
For example, when you use this message for a global option set solution component, dependency records for solution components representing any option set attributes that reference the global option set solution component are returned.
When you use this message for the solution component record for the account entity, dependency records for all of the solution components representing attributes, views, and forms used for that entity are returned.
The basic steps to accomplish what you're looking for would then be:
Execute a RetrieveEntityRequest to retrieve all the attributes for a particular entity
For each attribute in the response, execute a RetreiveDependentComponentsRequest where you set the ObjectId to the MetadataId of the attribute, and the ComponentType to be 2 (attribute).
Parse the EntityCollection property on the response to see if any of the dependencies have a ComponentType of 24 (form).

Sharepoint Extenal List and Custom Field Types

I have an odd issue.
I have client that wants a sharepoint list what is populated from a WCFService. That part is working quite well.
I have a bdcmodel that is mapping the WCF data and I can create an external list from the bdcmodel as well so that is working fine.
The issue I have is that one of the properties in the model is actually a collection of entities called Attributes. The objects in this collection simply have 2 properties Name and Value so really they are just a key value pair.
The client wants to see the list of attributes of the parent entity in the external list. So there would be an Attributes column and within that column would be the list of attributes for each parent object.
Is there even a way to do this? I am looking into Custom Field Types, but it seems like these are really intended to be singular values.
How would I create a list within and external list?
Any help anyone can give would be great even if its just to tell me that there really isn't a stable way to do this so I can go back to the client and tell them we will need to build a custom list to support this because the OOB external list and custom fields and custom field types won't support this kind of nested listing.
I decided to set up the custom field as a string and when I get my collection in from the BdcModel I am serializing it to JSON and then passing it to the field. When the field is viewed in display, edit or new I have overridden the FieldRenderingControl and I am tiling the collection out that way.
