I have a custom asp.net website wich is called from Dynamics CRM 2011 and I need it to look exactly like CRM 2011 standart window.
I managed to create almost all custom webcontrols which look like they are from Dynamics CRM 2011 except one, the Ribbon.
I triedto take out and clean the HTML from CRM but results aren't very good so far.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what else you can do Grigory - copying the existing HTML would only ever have been a head start anyway I would imagine. These are not especially complex looking objects (some divs with background images and rollover effect). Can't you just hand craft it?
There's no way to reuse the native controls and I'm not aware of anything commercial that you can go out and just buy.

I've been hunting all day trying to find some good examples/tutorials on how to pull data into Sharepoint 2013 from CRM 2011. The best thing I have found so far is a SP2010 example, but with VS2012 and SP2013 it seems like so much has changed, and trying to make that tutorial work isn't going well thus far.
I have no experience with SP; with CRM I have used the CrmSvcUtil.exe in the past to generate a class and use that within a .NET app in order to view/update data in CRM. I tried implementing this into my Visual Web Part, but I need to be able to add connection strings to the config file which it doesn't seem are recognized by the web part. I see that I can add a service reference to the CRM Organization service but I'm not sure if/how I can use that to query data. Any help is appreciated, or if anyone could point me in the direction of some good documentation. Thanks!
You have got couple of options.
(1) Use SharePoint 2013 client API.
Consume the client API from your CRM plugin / custom workflow to update the crm data to SharePoint 2013.
(2) Consume SharePoint 2013 webservices from CRM plugin / custom workflow.
I don't think this works in sandbox based solution.
I'm trying to build a Web part that takes data from Ui and write them into a Crm 2011 entity.
Does anybody know if is it even possible and by which ways?
Thanks!
You could take a look at using BCS:
Connecting SharePoint Online and CRM Online using BCS - 2013 Edition
Still not really seamless because you still need an intermediary application. The example only shows pulling CRM data into SharePoint but I believe it is supposed to be able to push data back as well.
I am quite new to MS Dynamics CRM, and I am working with 2011 on-prem version. I have a requirement where I have to use the in-line editable grid to update the data at one shot. But with some research and try, I figured out that it is not possible as "Out of Box" feature.
I tried finding code related to customized editable grid that can be used in CRM, but most of the time I ended up having a 3rd party control to be consumed. But I would like to understand and if possible build the code for the custom grid control for achieving the editable grid.
One approach could be developing a control out side the CRM and then adding it as addin and consume it. I have some thoughts but did not land up in any proper solution.
Is there anyone who can help me out in understanding/developing the custom grid control myself without using 3rd Party tools?
Thanks,
Ashfaq.
you can do this using silverlight or with jquery with HTML.
I'm new to CRM , now i just want to add a sample button named as sample in Ribbon, i have exported "customized XML" , from here how to add custom id , command id etc.
There are a couple of walkthroughs which should be able to help you with this:
this one
this one
and this one
There are also tools like this one on CodePlex which can help you do it in a graphical fashion rather than messing with the XML.
Warning, opinion ahead
I remember when I was new to Dynamics CRM that what helped me initially was working with tools from the community until I got my head around things and could dive into more of the guts of the platform. It might be worth going through a listing like this to see if there are things that can help you on your CRM journey.
I have implemented the feature illustrated in the video http://screenr.com/LgS7 (Salesforce).
Now I need to the same in Dynamics CRM. I have been through many contents about Dynamics and I am getting familiar with it but still struggling to find my way through to complete this specific task.
How can I achieve such a time tracking tool in Dynamics CRM? Should I do it by creating a plugin, custom actions or both?
You could do it only with Javascript and some ribbon buttons.
Here is an article that explains a bit JavaScript with Dynamics CRM. It's based on SOAP and REST.
Use JavaScript with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011
The method I suggest is that you make 2 ribbon buttons equal to the buttons in your movie. and then add a JAvascript file containing the logic behind the buttons to the form of the entity you will be using.
