CRM 2011 – Getting Started with LINQ in CRM 2011
February 28, 2011
I have been using LINQ with CRM 2011 and I have to say it’s awesome. It’s a great way to code without having to write connectors to SQL databases. I used to spend hours and days writing database code when I was a Java programmer, not to mention I am always forgetting how to write […]
Sample CRM Developer Resume/CV
February 28, 2011

I think what was confusing me was you had to get the control and then set the label. var affectedControl = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(fieldname); var affectedAttribute = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(fieldname); affectedAttribute.setRequiredLevel(‘required’); affectedControl.setLabel(‘New label’);
