本文要讲解,在CRM应用之外,不具有CRM context的情况下,如何连接到CRM,获得CRM的相关数据。如果你有耐心的话,也可以仔细研究一下SDK中Sample: Simplified Connection Quick Start using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online。
CRM 2011提供了一个Assembly microsoft.xrm.client.dll,如果从客户端连接CRM的话,可以使用该Assembly中的OrganizationService类。我在本文中以一个控制台程序来演示如何连接到CRM 2011。首先程序需要使用到的引用如下图。有关CRM的引用都可以在sdk的bin文件夹中找到。

Program.cs的代码为:

using System;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Client.Services;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Client;
using Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Messages;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Configuration;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query;
namespace ConsoleApplication3
{
public class SimplifiedConnection
{
#region Class Level Members
private OrganizationService _orgService;
#endregion Class Level Members
public void Run(String connectionString, bool promptforDelete)
{
try
{
// Establish a connection to the organization web service using CrmConnection.
Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CrmConnection connection = CrmConnection.Parse(connectionString);
// Obtain an organization service proxy.
// The using statement assures that the service proxy will be properly disposed.
using (_orgService = new OrganizationService(connection))
{
// Obtain information about the logged on user from the web service.
Guid userid = ((WhoAmIResponse)_orgService.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest())).UserId;
Entity systemUser = _orgService.Retrieve("systemuser", userid,
new ColumnSet(new string[] { "firstname", "lastname" }));
Console.WriteLine("Logged on user is {0} {1}.",
systemUser["firstname"].ToString(), systemUser["lastname"].ToString());
}
}
// Catch any service fault exceptions that Microsoft Dynamics CRM throws.
catch (FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault>)
{
// You can handle an exception here or pass it back to the calling method.
throw;
}
}
#region Public Methods

#region Private Methods

/// If there is more than one available, the user is prompted to select
/// the desired connection configuration by name.

private static String GetServiceConfiguration()
{
var connection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CrmConnection"];
return connection.ConnectionString;
}
#endregion Private Methods
#region Main method

static public void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Obtain connection configuration information for the Microsoft Dynamics
// CRM organization web service.
String connectionString = GetServiceConfiguration();
if (connectionString != null)
{
SimplifiedConnection app = new SimplifiedConnection();
app.Run(connectionString, true);
}
}
catch (FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("The application terminated with an error.");
Console.WriteLine("Timestamp: {0}", ex.Detail.Timestamp);
Console.WriteLine("Code: {0}", ex.Detail.ErrorCode);
Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", ex.Detail.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Trace: {0}", ex.Detail.TraceText);
Console.WriteLine("Inner Fault: {0}",
null == ex.Detail.InnerFault ? "Has Inner Fault" : "No Inner Fault");
}
catch (System.TimeoutException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("The application terminated with an error.");
Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Stack Trace: {0}", ex.StackTrace);
Console.WriteLine("Inner Fault: {0}",
null == ex.InnerException.Message ? "Has Inner Fault" : "No Inner Fault");
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("The application terminated with an error.");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
// Display the details of the inner exception.
if (ex.InnerException != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException.Message);
FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault> fe = ex.InnerException
as FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault>;
if (fe != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("Timestamp: {0}", fe.Detail.Timestamp);
Console.WriteLine("Code: {0}", fe.Detail.ErrorCode);
Console.WriteLine("Message: {0}", fe.Detail.Message);
Console.WriteLine("Trace: {0}", fe.Detail.TraceText);
Console.WriteLine("Inner Fault: {0}",
null == fe.Detail.InnerFault ? "Has Inner Fault" : "No Inner Fault");
}
}
}
// Additional exceptions to catch: SecurityTokenValidationException, ExpiredSecurityTokenException,
// SecurityAccessDeniedException, MessageSecurityException, and SecurityNegotiationException.
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to exit.");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
#endregion Main method
}
}

上面的程序需要从配置文件读取ConnectionString。一个范例app.config文件如下所示。

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Online using Office 365 -->
<!-- <add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com;
Username=someone@contoso.onmicrosoft.com;
Password=password;"/> -->
<!-- Online using Windows Live ID -->
<add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=https://aaronbabbitt.api.crm4.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc;
Username=username@aaronbabbitt.onmicrosoft.com; Password=password; DeviceID=11hfn41bbqrg580vyvoea05abc;
DevicePassword=fuqNIlx%e$.l*+ax_#8O4abc;"/>
<!--On-premises with provided user credentials-->
<!--<add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=http://servername/orgname; Domain=domainname; Username=username;
Password=password;"/>-->
<!-- On-premises using Windows integrated security -->
<!--<add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=http://servername/orgname;"/>-->
<!-- On-Premises (IFD) with claims -->
<!--<add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=https://url.xxx/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc;
Username=username@xxx.local; Password=password;"/>-->
</connectionStrings>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

这段代码完成的事情很简单,就是使用OrganizationService类来执行一个WhoAmIRequest。如果成功就表示控制台成功连接到了CRM。配置文件中一共有5个connection string 的样例。分别用来连接:
(1) 使用Office 365 ID 的 CRM Online;
(2) 使用Windows Live ID的 CRM Online;
(3) CRM On-Premises;
(4)CRM On-Premises,使用当前Windows integrated security来登录,所以不需要提供用户密码;
(5) 使用了IFD的CRM On-Premises。
上面除了(1)我没有进行测试,其他四种CRM都通过了该段代码的测试。在Connection String中,对于CRM Online和IFD On-Premises,URL需要使用Organization Service 的 URL。要查看CRM的Organization Service的URL,可以在Settings –> Customization –> Customizations –> Developer Resources中查看

连接CRM Online的时候,需要DeviceID和DevicePassword。很多人不懂DeviceID是干什么用的。DeviceID的目的就是注册一个设备,使这个设备可以使用Windows Live ID。当你注册了这个设备后,任何用户就都可以使用这个设备了。所以如果这个是一个从未注册过的设备,你首先要注册它。关于如何注册一个设备,可以使用sdk带的deviceregistration工具。具体的命令是DeviceRegistration.exe /operation:Register。命令运行成功后,你就可以拷贝生成的Device ID和Device Password了。

最后再说一下,因为在配置文件中,我们保存了用户登录信息,这样很容易泄露用户名和密码,所以我再说一下如何对配置文件的Connection string进行加密。对配置文件加密可以使用aspnet_regiis.exe工具,Visual Studio自带这个工具。如果没有Visual Studio,.Net中也包含了这个工具。可以在%windows root directory%\Microsoft.NET\%Framework\%version 中找到该工具。首先将app.config另存为文件名为web.config的文件,假如我将该文件保存到我的C:\temp目录中。文件的内容为:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Online using Windows Live ID -->
<add name="CrmConnection"
connectionString="Url=https://aaronbabbitt.api.crm4.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc;
Username=username@aaronbabbitt.onmicrosoft.com; Password=password; DeviceID=11hfn41bbqrg580vyvoea05abc;
DevicePassword=fuqNIlx%e$.l*+ax_#8O4abc;"/>
</connectionStrings>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
运行命令 aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" "C:\temp",打开web.config文件,发现加密后的内容为:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings configProtectionProvider="RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider">
<EncryptedData Type="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#Element"

</connectionStrings>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

然后你可以将该内容拷贝到你的app.config文件中去。
解密的命令为aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" "C:\temp"。当然解密与加密必须是在同一电脑上进行的,如果某个恶意用户获取了你加密后的app.config文件,在他自己的电脑上运行该命令是无法解密该文件的。
总结:从CRM外部连接CRM,可以使用上面的CRM“万能”连接程序,基本上各种deployment方式的CRM,都可以使用它来连接。该程序使用了Assembly microsoft.xrm.client.dll中的OrganizationService类。你需要在app.config或web.config中配置connection string。最后基于安全性,要对配置文件的connectionStrings section进行加密。加密可以使用aspnet_regiis 工具。
