Last week at Liones we started a custom front-end project for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and I am one of the developers working on the project. It is my job to write a library around the web service which MS CRM provides. The service itself is pretty easy because it contains only 7 methods:
- Create
- Retrieve
- RetrieveMultiple
- Delete
- Execute
- Fetch
- Update
The difficult part is to get the queries right because it is hard to determine how entities are related to each other if you don’t know the system. However I found a really useful tool to do this for me: FetchXML Wizard.
This is just a short post, next time I will tell you more about my adventures with MS CRM.
