jsInject httpModule – Injecting JavaScript into MS Dynamics CRM
08 months ago
by Oliver Flint
in MSCRM
How does it work?
Well, first of all it is a httpModule (IHttpModule) hooked into the HttpApplication.EndRequest event. On the EndRequest event it simply checks to see if there is a .js file that matches either the file extension, file name or file path of the current request.
For example:
A request to http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/mypage.aspx would initiate a check for the following .js files…
- /jsInject/Extensions/.aspx.js
- /jsInject/FileNames/mypage.aspx.js
- /jsInject/Paths/myfolder/mypage.aspx.js
If the corresponding .js file exists it will be injected it into the request.

After many reports and rumours that the Mono teams had been axed it is good to hear it is not all bad news!
Miguel de Icaza wrote a post on his blog yesterday that confirmed the rumours and gives hope to those that have invested heavily in Mono.
Xamarin is born… http://www.xamarin.com/

HTML5 has been a hot topic for a while. But as browser support develops and improves people are jumping and the band wagon and creating HTML5 sites just as they did back in the day of macromedia flash.
Interested to see what all the fuss is about I went on the search for info. Here is some of the stuff I found:
HTML5 and CSS3 for IE9 - http://ubelly.com/html5/
HTML5 Tutorials - http://html5tutorial.net/
Great HTML5 resource - http://www.html5rocks.com/
A handy cheat sheet - http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/07/06/html-5-cheat-sheet-pdf/
I’m sure people will find many more via google. If you do please leave the url in a comment and I will add it to the list.

Free asp.net mvc training videos

I have a few things to post but will start with this link to a selection of asp.net mvc video tutorials…
Microsoft and Pluralsight have teamed up on several occasions and have done so again to bring you some great asp.net mvc tutorials for free. In my opinion these are possibly the best free video tutorials available for asp.net mvc.
Here’s a quote from the almighty Scott Guthrie
This MVC 3 course recorded by K. Scott Allen for Pluralsight provides a fantastic way to quickly get up to speed on the latest release of ASP.NET MVC. Scott’s presentation style is easy to follow and technically compelling, and the course format, video player, and overall cadence are really great. Plus – it’s free, so there’s no excuse not to learn MVC 3 today!
If you are learning asp.net mvc then these tutorials are a must!

So today is May 4th – Star Wars Day!
Lucas Film has confirmed it will be releasing a 9 disc blue-ray set in September they are calling “The Complete Saga” with episodes 1-6. As we all know this is “The Complete Saga” as episodes 7,8 & 9 have never been made. But I am sure all us Star Wars fans will be buying it as soon as it is available. I know I will. Check out the website for more info…
It’s Movember!

This Movember, the month formerly known as November I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer. My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you can either:
• Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/867906/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account . Or,
• Send cheques and CAF vouchers (made payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity Re Movember’) directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity – First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London W6 0LE. Be sure to include the person’s name on the back of the cheque.
The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
Thank you in advance for helping me to support men’s health.
Outerra – Render your world

I stumbled across this a few days ago. A 3D world/planetary render engine that could be used for some serious simulation of things such as flying, driving, and warfare (or even all of them at once!)
I’ve read/heard that it will be a massive download (100+ GB) for the entire world (Earth). But they have built in a bittorrent/p2p feature so that it only downloads what you need. The also depends on your graphics quality setting too.
They are also planning on releasing a playable demo to showcase the engine soon too!

I stumbled across this amazing plugin for jQuery the other day while randomly browsing the interwebz. I’ve not used it myself yet but it looks like the mutts nuts for displaying tabular data!
Check it out for yourself… http://www.datatables.net
Once I get chance to use it myself I will post my experiences.
Here’s what it looks like:
