Iâ??m hoping someone might offer suggestions on how to call the standard CRM
lookup forms from a custom ASP.NET page?

Is it possible? Any challenges or issues people have come across? Etc.

Short sample code example would be greatly appreciated J

Thank you in advance for any responses,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Use the RetrievePicklist method in the customisation class. A full
description can be found in the SDK.

I have enclosed a snippet of code that pulls a customised country list and
displays in a drop down on an ASPX page.

Regards

Mike

' Country

strResults = ""

Try

strResults = .cCustomisation.RetrievePicklist(.CurrentUser,
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.ObjectType.otAccount, _

"CFPaddress1_country")

Catch ex As Exception

If Trace.IsEnabled Then

Trace.Warn("PickList XML (CFPaddress1_country): " & ex.ToString)

End If

strResults = "<Picklist><Entry><Value></Value></Entry></Picklist>"

End Try

Try

xmlObj = New XmlDocument

xmlObj.LoadXml(strResults)

PickList = xmlObj.SelectNodes("Picklist/Entry/Value")

'Add an empty value ""

Me.country.Items.Add("")

For Each PickListValue In PickList

Me.country.Items.Add(PickListValue.InnerText)

Next

Catch ex As Exception

If Trace.IsEnabled Then

Trace.Warn("PickList XML (CFPaddress1_country): " & ex.ToString)

End If

End Try
