Problem with Microsoft SQL Server Full-Text Search
If, by any means, you have upgraded your Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to 2008, you’ve probably seen this: you want to install a brand new CRM 4 on your server and, just before the end of the wizard, the verification process hangs on the Microsoft SQL Server node with the following message:

What’s in my personal queue?
This is an update of my personal projects based on Dynamics CRM (I’ll talk xRM here), which will be explained in details on this blog:
- Organization tree in Silverlight
- Display of all the business units
- Display of the account’s contacts, with various methods of data retrieval
- Display of all the linked elements under an account or a contact
- Reporting in Silverlight
- Various KPIs
- Web portal in Silverlight (for outsiders)
Quite a lot of stuff here and I work on them on my spare-time so do not expect to see tons of update soon…
But here is my first attempt at Silverlight 4 with Dynamics CRM 4 data:
This is an organization tree returning the business units hierarchy and is based on the awesome work of Drazen Janjicek (http://cid-dff01c5367c1f660.office.live.com/self.aspx/Silverlight%20Stuff/OrganizationChartDemo.rar) and needs some refining but I’m pretty happy with the results!
Stay tuned!
