How to fetch more than 5000 entities from CRM

Let's start with simple example to get all entities from CRM

public EntityCollection GetEntities(string entityName)

{

    var config = ServerConnection.GetServerConfiguration();

    var proxy = ServerConnection.GetOrganizationProxy(config);

    string request = string.Format(@"<fetch mapping ='logical'>

               <entity name = '{0}'></entity></fetch>", entityName);

    FetchExpression expression = new FetchExpression(request);

    var mult = proxy.RetrieveMultiple(expression);

    return mult;           

}

This will work, but will return maximum of 5000 elements in mult.Entities.

Let's add paging now and put that in loop until mult.MoreRecords is false.

string request = string.Format(@"<fetch
                count='5000' page='{1}' mapping ='logical'>
                <entity name = '{0}'></entity></fetch>", entityName, page++);

But now Paging cookie is required when trying to retrieve a set of records on any high pages.

Paging cookie is returned in EntityCollection.PagingCookie property. Also, XML tags must be encoded, because this is xml-in-xml.

pagingCookie = string.Format("paging-cookie='{0}'",
    System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(mult.PagingCookie));

Now, complete method looks like this:

public IList<Entity> GetEntitiesNoLimit(string entityName)

{

    var config = ServerConnection.GetServerConfiguration();

    IOrganizationService proxy = ServerConnection.GetOrganizationProxy(config);

    var entities = new List<Entity>();

    int page = 1;

    string pagingCookie = string.Empty;

    while (true)

    {

        string request = string.Format(@"<fetch {2} count='5000' page='{1}'

                         mapping ='logical'><entity name = '{0}'></entity></fetch>",

                         entityName, page++, pagingCookie);

        FetchExpression expression = new FetchExpression(request);

        var mult = proxy.RetrieveMultiple(expression);

        entities.AddRange(mult.Entities);

        if (mult.MoreRecords)

        {

            pagingCookie = string.Format("paging-cookie='{0}'",

                        System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(mult.PagingCookie));

        }

        else

        {

            break;

        }

    }

    return entities;

}

SSIS - find element in table, use its key and insert to another table

I have database with following 3 tables:

·         Customers.CustomerId is integer and PK

·         Addresses.AddressId is integer and PK

·         CustomerAddresses.Customer_CustomerId is integer and FK to Customers

·         CustomerAddresses.Address_AddressId is integer and FK to Addresses

·         Customers.EntityId is GUID

·         Addresses.EntityId is GUID

I use SQL Server Integration Services.

I have also XML file with pairs of addressEntityID and customerEntityId. These are are EntityIDs (GUID), that need to be mapped to IDs (integer) and inserted into CustomerAddresses.

How to map this relationship and import to CustomerAddresses?

1.  In Data Flow drop XML source

2.  Add Derived column, map values from XML (from string to GUID)

3.  Add Lookup, connect to Addresses table, create JOIN from derived AddressGuid to EntityId. AddressId is output.

4.  Add another Lookup and do the same for Customers table

On "Specify how to handle rows with no matching entries" choose "Redirect rows to error output".

5.  Add DB destination, map values from Lookup to AddressId and CustomerId

Search within range with LINQ and DbGeography

    var myLocation = DbGeography.FromText(string.Format("POINT({0} {1})", lon, lat)); 
    var result = (from u in _db.Restaurants
           orderby u.Location.Distance(myLocation)
           where u.Location.Distance(myLocation) < distance
           select u).Take(limit).ToList();

distance is a double and its value is in meters.

Elements appear when mouse hovers above them - CSS and jQuery

I'm going to share that with you, because it took me surprisingly long time to figure out.

I wanted to have an element, that shows up only, when mouse moves over the element. Just like this:

My first idea was to use "hide()" and "show()" methods on elements themselves. Unfortunately, when elements were hidden, they had no size (or actually size was 0), so you could not hover over them to show them.

Second idea, was to use CSS, and change visibility in ":hover" style. That worked partially - the <div> element had <i> child. Only child would be visible (after all, it's cascading style sheets, it does not go up).

My final idea, was to contain my elements in larger <div> element. The DIV has fixed size and position, and display: block. Child elements are initially hidden. Then I bind "hover()" event to the parent div, that finds children, and displays them. And then hides, when mouse leaves.

So, this is the markup:

<div class="show">
    <div class="mouseover"><i class="fa fa-something"></i></div>
    <div class="mouseover"><i class="fa fa-something-else"></i> </div>
</div>

And this is the script:

$(function(){
    $('.show').hover(
    function() {
        $(this).find('.mouseover').fadeIn();
    },
    function() {
        $(this).find('.mouseover').fadeOut();
    });
});

Web.config changing when publishing application - how to avoid it?

I have MVC website, that I deployed to Azure. The application uses EF Code First. 

After deployment, these lines were added to web.config:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="LoremIpsum.LoremContext" 
         connectionString="LoremIpsum.LoremContext_ConnectionString" 
         providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

This caused this error:

Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.

I solved this by going to my Publish Profile (the .pubxml file) and deleted following lines:

  <ItemGroup>
    <MSDeployParameterValue Include="$(DeployParameterPrefix)LoremIpsum.LoremContext-Web.config Connection String">
      <ParameterValue>... my actual connection string ...</ParameterValue>
    </MSDeployParameterValue>
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <_ConnectionStringsToInsert Include="LoremIpsum.LoremContext" />
  </ItemGroup>
