Displaying error messages in CRM using COM API

By | October 4, 2010

Well, this is is just another way you can handle the error messages in CRM custom ASP pages. For one of the customizations i was supposed to write a validation for a field on screen being used in custom ASP pages. I did the same by writing below validate script.

If ()
{
ErrorStr = “”
Valid = false;
}

After this i used Block.Validate() in custom page to check if blog is validated, but whenever a validation was fired, the error was displayed as given below. The error message was appearing both on panel as well as on top. Though this is not a great thing, this was one of the major designing issues reported by our client.

Well, after tickling my mind a bit on this, i thought if i have a custom ASP page, why am i suppose to write validate script? So i wrote the validation script on server side when mode of the page is changed to Save. Now what about the message i.e. a standard red bar error on top? Well, below is the HTML content that you can use to display error content using content block in your pages. How simple!
