MS CRM Javascript Intellisense Generator
| Download: MS CRM Javascript Intellisense Generator |
|
| When writing javascript for MS CRM you can use external files. (See my post Speed up development with external JavaScript files). | |
| With Visual Studio 2008 you can have some javascript intellisense when writing your code. But Visual Studio doesn’t know anything about MS CRM. So we don’t get a lot of advantage from this. But with this tool we can generate files that contain all the information visual studio needs to allow extended use of the intellisense functionality. | |
 |
|
| So let’s say we have a file account.js in a Visual Studio Web Project.. | |
| First of all we are going to create a folder intellisense with javascript files to ‘define’ the intellisense. To do this, we are going to use the “MS CRM Javascript Intellisense Generator” application. | |
 |
|
| All you need to do is enter the name of the discovery server and (optional) the credentials, select the organization and save the output in the same directory as the visual studio web project. This will create the folder with 1 javascript file for each entity. | |
 |
|
If you have Visual Studio open you will need to close and reopen your project to see the new folder.All that is left is adding a reference in you account.js file to let visual studio know where to look for intellisense.
|
|
 |
|
| In some cases you need to close the account.js file and reopen it again to load the intellisense correctly. |

Great tool. Thank you! Two notes:
An easy way to add the reference to a newly created Jscript file in VS is to drag the desired intellisense file onto the page you are working on.
Also, CTRL+Shift+J will force Visual Studio to update its JavaScript references instead of reloading the solution.

Is there any way to batch process the entities? Are there any command line options?

Has anyone else seen a problem with this finding attributes on a custom entity? I LOVE this tool, but the reference file generated for a custom attribute I have is missing all the custom attributes…
Thanks for this great tool!

Getting an error when attempting to access a hosted 2011 version. “The underlying connection was closed: The connection was closed unexpectedly.”
Sure about the username and password. Also set port=443 and used the sample server path as always.

Hi,
Would it be possible to update the tool based on 2011 and release it with XRM extensions.
So, it has the XRMPage objects and attributes.
Let me know, if i can help. Thanks,
Regards,
Osman

I haven’t tested this tool yet on a localhost, but when trying to connect to a hosted CRM, I always get the error HTTP Status 401: Unauthorized.
When I access the CRM through the webinterface I’m able to login with the very same details.
Am I missing something?
