CRM Portal v8 - User Controls

Posted on by Fred McGraw

Hello,

I'm curious if there is anyone out there familiar with Microsoft Portals/Adxstudio. I recently read this https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/219309 and I was wondering if there is still nothing supported / to be done with Web Form Steps of type User Control.

I can think of many things I would like User Controls for, but for right now I just want to fire off the equivalent of MoveToNextStep. Why do I want this? Previously you were not able to start a Web Form with a Web Form Step of type Condition. It seems to still be the case. The workaround was make the start step a User Control that would move to the next step (of type Condition). That's all I want. Liquid seems limited / not able to help on this. Does anyone have some input on this?

Old way:

public partial class NextStep : WebFormUserControl
{
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
MoveToNextStep();
base.OnInit(e);
}
}

RE: CRM Portal v8 - User Controls

Hi Fred,

Regarding User Controls and CRM Online:

The use of usercontrols is not currently supported with v8 (online dynamics 365 version) as there is no option to upload or otherwise provide custom logic inside the web project that is executed in IIS beyond the use of Liquid

Webforms support multi step forms and allow you interact with CRM data crossing between multiple entities if desired.

Webform, EntityForm and EntityList functionality support injecting custom js into each step so you can do many interesting things however you are limited to what can be done on the client.

Hope this helps.
