- MSCRM, Webforms, and confusion.
- Posted by fiddley on September 3rd, 2003
Quick Question.
Is it possible to put a webform on our website which will create a new
account/contact in MSCRM when filled in?
If yes, then I have the C# sample code from the SDK - where do i put
this code and how to I pass values from the webform to the code. Is it
anything to do with this 'SOAP toolkit' thingy, am I even close?
I am happy to do some reading if you can point me to some nice web
references.
in anticipation!,
Mark
PS Sorry if this is dumb, but I have been landed with a project which
I am vastly underqualified to do and no-one is listening in the
company...blah blah blah...you know the story... ;o)

ouch
where do you start! First you need to know that do do this you need asp.net
and C# or VB.net skills.
You can put the form on the same server as the web server perhaps in its own
web site. You then use the microsoft.crm.proxy.dll file as per the examples
on msdn.microsoft.com for crm etc
Might help a bit more if you could highlight your skill set.

Excellent, thanks for your reply! We are out of the blocks now!
OK, I don't know any current programming languages, however I have
people in the company who do C, ASP etc. The trouble is they are
always busy on other projects so i can only feasibly grab a few mins
of their time at best!
I am not sure what you mean by 'use microsoft.crm.proxy.dll' - I think
I need to learn some programming fast! Any suggestions on where to
start just to gain enough knowledge to do this task? Even keywords to
search for on google would be a massive help!
A Quick recap - I have a form on a publicly accessible web page, the
user submits the form and it automatically creates a contact &/or
account record in the CRM database. I have C# code from the SDK - how
do i make this code to do it's stuff.
Thanks Again!

Read the SDK, it will show you where that proxy.dll file is located. You
next step is to aquire Visual Studio .NET and begin experimenting with that
proxy file and your sample source code.
