I went to the Azure Active Directory properties earlier today for a completely different reason, and, then, I noticed something that made me jump: What?! With the client being in Canada, all Dynamics/Sharepoint data needs to be physically stored in Canada, or this whole implementation is going to stop quite abruptly. Unfortunately, when looking at… Read More »
If you have not looked at the EasyRepro yet, you probably should: https://github.com/microsoft/EasyRepro I wrote a post about EasyRepro before with some explanations of how it works, so this may also be helpful: https://www.itaintboring.com/dynamics-crm/easy-repro-what-is-it/ Now, I am not sure if Microsoft is “all in” on making PowerApps development a primarily dev-only activity, but, at… Read More »
Earlier today, we got a strange request from the user who was wondering what would be the reason he kept getting an error message? Indeed, we knew he should not be getting that error. Although, after looking into it, we found that there was a form the user was working on, it was a regular… Read More »
A lot of TypeScript tutorials are available online, so I was looking for one recently and, it seems, this one is really good IF you are familiar with some other language already: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/typescript So, while working through it, I noticed a few things which might strike you as being somewhat unusual if you are… Read More »
The more I’m looking into the PowerApps Component Framework, the more obvious it becomes that the era of “do-it-all”-ers in Dynamics/PowerApps might be coming to an end. Although, it’s not just the PCF that’s making me say this. I turned to Dynamics some time ago since I did not want to stick to pure development… Read More »

That statement is probably coming from the comparison below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-compare-logic-apps-ms-flow-webjobs This is all great; however, unlike the Logic Apps which are living their own life somewhere in Azure, Microsoft Flow is a first-class… Read More »
I had a nice validation plugin that used to be working perfectly whenever a record were updated manually. When deactivating a record with a certain status reason, a user would see an error message if some of the conditions were not met. For example, a transaction can’t be completed till the amount field has… Read More »
Ever since I have started working on the current project, there probably was not a day when I would not discover something new (of course what’s new for me is not necessarily new for somebody who’s been working in the online environment for a while). When working on-premise, you get to know what to… Read More »
I was working on a PowerShell script, and I just could not get past the error below: “Element ‘http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic:value’ contains data from a type that maps to the name ‘System.Management.Automation:PSObject’. The deserializer has no knowledge of any type that maps to this name” Yet I was not trying to do anything extraordinary (other than… Read More »
Earlier today, Shidin Haridas and I were discussing something on linkdein and we realized that we were talking about an undocumented javascript method in the Client API framework. You know you are not supposed to use undocumented methods, right? So I thought what if… I mean, don’t get me wrong, if somebody suggested to… Read More »
