Difference between WCF and Web Service


   In this blog I am listing few differences between WCF and Web Service. A lot from us gets confused which is the best out these two to use. Please have a look on the below table and find yourself what to choose and why.

WebService
WCF
         · WebService and WebMethod attributes are used for defining web service.
          · ServiceContract and OperationContract attributes are used for defining WCF service.
          · Support security but is less secure as compared to WCF.
          · Supports security, reliable messaging, transaction and AJAX and REST supports.
          · Supports XML serializer by using System.Xml.Serialization.
          · Supports DataContract serializer by using System.Runtime.Serialization.
          · Supports One-Way and Request-Response service operations.
          · Supports One-Way, Request-Response and Duplex service operations.
          · Web Services are slower than WCF
          · WCF are faster than Web Services.
          · Hash Table cannot be serialized. It can serializes only those collections which implement IEnumerable and ICollection.
          · Hash Table can be serialized.
          · Unhandled Exceptions returns to the client as SOAP faults.
         · Unhandled Exceptions does not return to the client as SOAP faults. WCF supports better exception handling by using FaultContract.
          · Doesn’t support multi-threading.
         · Supports multi-threading by using ServiceBehaviour class.
          · Supports XML and MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) message encoding.
         · Supports XML, MTOM, Binary message encoding.
          · Web Services are hosted in IIS by pointing the ASMX file to the virtual directory.
          
       · WCF provides more options for hosting,  It combines old hosting options with new ones like hosting on WAS. WCF applications can also be hosted in the following ways:
1)      Self-hosting
2)      Windows Service
3)      IIS and WAS

StateCode and StatusCode Values for mostly used entities in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013

In this blog I have given a list of all StateCode and StatusCode of useful entities. Please refer MSDN for more details for any doubt if you have regarding any thing. I also have collected this through MSDN
The following table shows default Microsoft CRM values for StateCode and StatusCode. Each StateCode has its own default StatusCode value. For example, if a Product StateCode is 0 (Active), the default StatusCode is 1 (Active(default)). If the Product StateCode is 1 (InActive), the default StatusCode is 2 (Inactive(default)). Microsoft CRM only accepts StatusCodes that are valid for a particular StateCode.

How to add custom filter lookup field based on OptionSet field selection in Dynamics CRM.

Image
In this blog I am going to show how we can filter records based on the selected option set value.

For this example I have created an entity and placed 2 fields mainly, One is Option set Field for Region/ Divison and another is Lookup filed of State. So when user will select the region the lookup values will show only filtered records based on the region, copy and paste the code below in your form option set OnChange event which will filter record of lookup.


function FilterPackagesLookup() {
    try {
        preFilterLookup();

    } catch (e) {
        ShowCatchMessage(e.message);
    }

}

function preFilterLookup() {
    try {
        if (Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_state") != "undefined" && Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("new_state") != null) {
            Xrm.Page.getControl("new_state").addPreSearch(function () {
                addLookupFilter();
            });
        }
    } catch (e) {
        ShowCatchMessage(e.message);
    }
}
