Firefox Refresh Issues In CRM 2013

I could not get a new custom workflow action to show up in the workflow editor today.  I tried ctrl+f5, closing the browser and restarting, cleaning, rebuilding, and re-updating the assembly.  All of my other workflow steps were still available.

Finally tried a different web browser.

Showed up fine in Internet Explorer.

I Will Presenting to the CRMUG Online on February 24th

I am honored to say that I will be representing RBA and presenting at the CRMUG virtually on February 24th.  This is my DevFest session that I did at the CRMUG summit.

It's a fun idea where I have a menu slide that people pick options, mostly dev topics, from the menu and I basically just run through demos for an hour, whichever ones the audience wants!

You should try to make it!

CRM MVP Developers Doing the Google Hangout Thing!!

Today I participated in a Google Hangout for the first time along with some fellow CRM MVP's (Donna Edwards, Daniel Cai, and Dave Berry).  The top of the conversation was development where we went through our thoughts on HTML5 vs Silverlight, JSON, JQuery, Jscript, Polaris, Orion, etc.. from a developer standpoint.

You should watch the video here:

BONUS:  at 53:40, I decide to go FULL PIRATE! :)

PHP - Easy Install on IIS

I found a great easy installer on the Microsoft site to easily install PHP on IIS.  I figure someone else besides me might find this handy.

Fixed: Microsoft CRM 2011 WCF Timing Issue When Making Web Service Calls

I have periodically ran into the following exception on my CRM 2011 virtual dev machine:

System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail. ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: An error occurred when verifying security for the message.

I have found ways to work around this now every time I have ran into it.
I have noticed another Exception with the same cause before when working with the CrmSvcUtil.exe tool. 

Cause: Timezone or time being wrong on the client or server. 

Resolution: Correct date and time settings on affected machine, also restart client application making call

Example Post Illustrating: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/wcf/thread/d7a13c9b-2144-4b0d-9585-5a487126ab1f

I had to restart Visual Studio on the client machine after I fixed the time on the server for my calls to function properly.

I hope this helps!
