Events
Events are handled in a similar manner within CRM 2011, but with a slightly different command structure.
event.returnValue
Sets the return value of the function, which in the case of OnSave, will allow the Save operation to be cancelled.
|
Usage |
CRM 4.0 |
CRM 2011 |
|
Set |
event.returnValue = false; |
executionObj.getEventArgs().preventDefault() |
event.Mode
Represents the button clicked by the user to save the record.
|
Usage |
CRM 4.0 |
CRM 2011 |
|
Get |
var oField = event.Mode; |
executionObj.getEventArgs().getSaveMode() |
event.srcElement

|
Usage |
CRM 4.0 |
CRM 2011 |
|
Get |
var oField = event.srcElement; |
executionObj.getEventSource() |
Note: in CRM 2011, the use of these three event objects assumes that the Execution Context is being passed to the function and the parameter containing the context is called executionObj .
User-Interface Changes
One small user interface change was added to allow you to connect to an on-premise installation via HTTPS, instead of HTTP.
Checking the Use HTTPS checkbox on the Connect to Dynamics CRM dialog will instruct the CRM Migration Assistant to use HTTPS when building the URL pointing toward your CRM server.
Getting the Update
The CRM Migration Assistant is self-updating so all you need to do is run the application and the update will be downloaded and installed for you.
