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

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 ...

Reusable Method To Get Record By Id

I have a handful of reusable code that I use when creating plugins or external process (i.e. Azure Functions) for working with DataVerse. The first one I am providing is Getting a Record By Id: 1: private static Entity GetFullRecord(string entityName, string primaryKey, Guid recordId, IOrganizationService service) 2: { 3: using (OrganizationServiceContext context = new OrganizationServiceContext(service)) 4: { 5: return (from e in context.CreateQuery(entityName) 6: where (Guid)e[primaryKey] == recordId 7: select e).Single(); 8: } 9: } entityName = The logical name of the entity primaryKey = The primary key field for the entity. If using late binding you can create this dynamically by doing: $"{target.LogicalName}id" recordId = Guid of the record to get service = Service to interact with DataVerse

Understanding Managed and Unmanaged Solutions in Dynamics 365

Dynamics 365, Microsoft's robust suite of business applications, boasts a myriad of features that can be customized to cater to the specific needs of any business. A vital concept to grasp when working with Dynamics 365 is the difference between managed and unmanaged solutions. This blog post aims to clarify these two types of solutions, providing a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Unmanaged Solutions Unmanaged solutions act as a dynamic development environment, enabling direct alterations and additions to system components. They are often employed during the development and testing phase of a customization project but are equally effective when implemented in production instances, particularly for internal organizational operations. Pros of Unmanaged Solutions: Flexibility : Unmanaged solutions provide a high degree of adaptability, permitting developers to modify system components, introduce new elements, or discard those that are no longer nece...
