SQL Script To Generate C# Model

While working on a data migration project that uses C# and Azure Functions.  I found myself in the need to generate a model of the table(s).  While doing a Google search I came across the following blog post that has a script to generate the model properties for me.  Simply replace the table name variable at the top of the script with the table name you want to generate the properties for.  You may also need to include the schema name in the table name if you have multiple tables with the same name, just under different schema's.  I did make one change to it in the select @ result line.  It was adding a blank line in between each property, so I removed the new line.


 declare @TableName sysname = 'TABLE_NAME'  
 declare @Result varchar(max) = 'public class ' + @TableName + '  
 {'  
 select @Result = @Result + '  
   public ' + (CASE WHEN ColumnName = 'RowVersion' THEN 'byte[]' ELSE ColumnType END) + NullableSign + ' ' + ColumnName + ' { get; set; }'  
 from  
 (  
   select   
     replace(col.name, ' ', '_') ColumnName,  
     column_id ColumnId,  
     case typ.name   
       when 'bigint' then 'long'  
       when 'binary' then 'byte[]'  
       when 'bit' then 'bool'  
       when 'char' then 'string'  
       when 'date' then 'DateTime'  
       when 'datetime' then 'DateTime'  
       when 'datetime2' then 'DateTime'  
       when 'datetimeoffset' then 'DateTimeOffset'  
       when 'decimal' then 'decimal'  
       when 'float' then 'float'  
       when 'image' then 'byte[]'  
       when 'int' then 'int'  
       when 'money' then 'decimal'  
       when 'nchar' then 'string'  
       when 'ntext' then 'string'  
       when 'numeric' then 'decimal'  
       when 'nvarchar' then 'string'  
       when 'real' then 'double'  
       when 'smalldatetime' then 'DateTime'  
       when 'smallint' then 'short'  
       when 'smallmoney' then 'decimal'  
       when 'text' then 'string'  
       when 'time' then 'TimeSpan'  
       when 'timestamp' then 'timestamp'  
       when 'rowversion' then 'byte[]'  
       when 'tinyint' then 'byte'  
       when 'uniqueidentifier' then 'Guid'  
       when 'varbinary' then 'byte[]'  
       when 'varchar' then 'string'  
       else 'UNKNOWN_' + typ.name  
     end ColumnType,  
     case   
       when col.is_nullable = 1 and typ.name in ('bigint', 'bit', 'date', 'datetime', 'datetime2', 'datetimeoffset', 'decimal', 'float', 'int', 'money', 'numeric', 'real', 'smalldatetime', 'smallint', 'smallmoney', 'time', 'tinyint', 'uniqueidentifier')   
       then '?'   
       else ''   
     end NullableSign  
   from sys.columns col  
     join sys.types typ on  
       col.system_type_id = typ.system_type_id AND col.user_type_id = typ.user_type_id  
   where object_id = object_id(@TableName)  
 ) t  
 order by ColumnId  
 set @Result = @Result + '  
 }'  
 print @Result

Power Pages Update Last Successful Login Using JavaScript and Power Pages API

 Recently while working on a Power Pages implementation for a client, I had the requirement to show the last time a user logged in on their profile page.  I thought this would be easy to do as there is already a field on the contact record for "Last Successful Login" (      adx_identity_lastsuccessfullogin).  This use to update when a user logged in, but it appears Microsoft has removed that automation. While searching I came across a few different ways of achieving this task.  One used application insights in Azure and another one used an HTTP endpoint setup in Power Automate.  I thought, this needs to be simpler.  What I came up with is to use Liquid with JavaScript to tell if a user is logged in or not.  Then use the new Power Pages api to update the logged in users contact record to mark the last time they logged in. Here is the approach I setup: 1) Make sure you turn on the api for contact in Site Settings. 1) Link to Microsoft Do...

Validating User Input In CRM Portals With JavaScript

When we are setting up CRM Portals to allow customers to update their information, open cases, fill out an applications, etc. We want to make sure that we are validating their input before it is committed to CRM.  This way we ensure that our data is clean and meaningful to us and the customer. CRM Portals already has a lot validation checks built into it. But, on occasion we need to add our own.  To do this we will use JavaScript to run the validation and also to output a message to the user to tell them there is an issue they need to fix. Before we can do any JavaScript, we need to check and see if we are using JavaScript on an Entity Form or Web Page.  This is because the JavaScript, while similar, will be different.  First, we will go over the JavaScript for Entity Forms.  Then, we will go over the JavaScript for Web Pages.  Finally, we will look at the notification JavaScript. Entity Form: if (window.jQuery) { (function ($) { if ...

Lookup In Select of URL For Power Pages

 While working on a Power Pages implementation I was consume the Power Pages API to get a Lookup table so I could show and hide information on the form using jQuery.  One issue I was having is I couldn't get a lookup field to return even though I had it as a field in the site setting for the table and included it in the my select statement in the URL.  I kept getting an `unexpected error occurred`. This issue is caused because lookup's are made up using 3 fields. 1) Formatted Value = The information you see in the lookup field (i.e. the record name) 2) Logical Name = The table the related record is a part of 3) Id = The id of the related record In the api there is a 4th field that is returned that is the Associated Navigation Property and it is the logical name of the lookup field. When setting up our select and even saying what columns can be returned in the API, we have to think how the OData endpoint will return the data to us.  ...
