Posted on by Community Member

I have JScript which calls GetGlobalContext() function. During a code review process, I is pointed that Xrm.Page.Context should be used instead. I reviewed and found that GetGlobalContext should be used when call is made outside the form. Kindly suggest should I replace GetGlobalContext() with Xrm.Page.Context in my JScript? Also, clarify, whether JScript is considered outside to a form or not in CRM.

Hi Siddharth,

The GetGlobalContext function returns the same context object found in the Xrm.Page.context.

When you need context information outside a form, include a reference to the ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx page in an HTML web resource.

Refer the following msdn link. It explains deeply.

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg328541.aspx

Hope this helps.

Regards,

R.Rajkumar

Can you also please tell me whether JScript which I have created separately will be considered outside a form?

Use the GetGlobalContext function when programming with web resources to gain access to context information. To get the GetGlobalContext function in your HTML web resource, include a reference to ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx.

It does not matter whether you use GetGlobalContext or Xrm.Page.context it refers the same object.
