Background info:

ADX Portal Version: 7.0.0022

CRM 2016 On-Premise.

ADX Portal site is running on IIS server.

We have converted to using Early Bound per the instructions that ADX provided in a webinar:

http://community.adxstudio.com/events/upgrading-to-adxstudio-portals-v7

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issue:

Today I am getting an Invalid Cast Exception.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Entity' to type 'Xrm.Adx_website'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

            /// <summary>
        /// The current adx_website <see cref="Entity"/>.
        /// </summary>
        //public Adx_website Website
        //{
        //    get { return (Adx_website)Portal.Website; }
        //}

        public Entity Website
        {
            get { return Portal.Website; }
        }

    Above is the code we changed.  We basically changed Adx_website to entity and changed the return.

    Did you ever get this sorted jstuder  - I am getting the exact same issue in PortalPage.cs in ADX V7.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to fix this?  I understand the enable proxy types.  I just don't know where to put that.

    Thats what I have read that I need to do.  The problem is this is my first go with ADX Studio and I can't figure out where to put the code snippet as it doesn't appear that the Organization Service Proxy is used in ADX code.

    Have you remembered to enable proxy types for your assembly?

    On your organization service proxy, run the following:

    serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes()
