Html pages |
An HTML web resource cannot contain any code that must be executed on the server. ASP.NET pages cannot be uploaded as HTML web resources. HTML web resources can only accept one custom query string parameter called "data". |
Parameters: Typename,type,id,orgname,userlcid,orglcid,data,formid,pagemode,security,tabSet |
<html> <head> <title>No Border Web Resource</title> </head> <body style="border- 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px"> <p> This Web resource will display with no border</p> </body> </html> |

SilverLight |
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 support adding Silverlight 4.0 web resources to entity forms. You can display Silverlight 5.0 web resources within an HTML web resource using a hosting <object> element that is configured for that version. Microsoft Silverlight web resources cannot be viewed in the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office Outlook. To display a Silverlight web resource outside an entity form or chart, create an HTML web resource to be the host page for the Silverlight web resource. Then use the $webresource: directive to open the HTML web resource. |
If you do require contextual information, you must either: 1. Add your Silverlight web resource to an entity form. 2. View your Silverlight web resource using an HTML web resource configured to provide context information. If your Silverlight web resource is designed to be viewed in an entity form, the form has an Xrm.Page.context object you can use to access contextual information. If you need your Silverlight application to appear outside the context of the form you must configure an HTML web resource to provide this context information by adding a reference to the ClientGlobalContext.js.aspx page. After this reference is added, your Silverlight application can access contextual information in the same way it can in an entity form. The following sample shows how to call the getServerUrl function from the Xrm.Page.context object. Parameters: Id,type,typename,orgname,userlcid,orglcid,data |
private string serverUrl = ""; ScriptObject xrm = (ScriptObject)HtmlPage.Window.GetProperty("Xrm"); ScriptObject page = (ScriptObject)xrm.GetProperty("Page"); ScriptObject pageContext = (ScriptObject)page.GetProperty("context"); serverUrl = (string)pageContext.Invoke("getServerUrl"); string entityTypeName = App.Current.Host.InitParams["typename"]; |

Jscript |
With Script Web resources, you can more efficiently manage code used in form scripts, Web page (HTML) Web resources, or Ribbon commands by linking them to shared library of JScript functions. |

XSL |
Use XSL Web resources to transform XML data used by your solution |
||
|
Xml |
An XML Web resource does not represent a robust solution for data that is frequently updated by multiple users. While one user is updating an XML Web resource, another user (or automated process) could update the Web resource and that data would be lost when the first user saves their changes. All XML files must use the .xml file name extension. Files that use XML data but do not use the .xml file name extension cannot be uploaded as Web resources unless the file name extension is changed. |
Use XML Web resources to cache data that you want to use in your solution. |
