Hi,

I have developed one web application using .Net 4.0. Now i want to host that application on windows  azure. when i have write the code for establishing the connection with CRM 2011 online in worker role then it works fine and i am able to establish the connection successfully. But when i try to connect to the CRM 2011 on-premise server from my worker role it throws an error while establishing the connection . For this,I am using service reference of CRM 2011 on-premise into my application. Please help me where i am making the mistake? is there any other option to consume the service and establish the connection? please help me

Answer 1

I have no experience whatsoever with CRM 2011, but are you sure this is not a security issue? Are you sure there are appropriate firewall rules for allowing connections to your on-premise server?

Hi,

"Can you provide more details info about the exception? Or provide a test application (include code) for testing?"

As i was posted above, because i can not get more details about your exception (errors logs, stack message), or a simple test application from you, so i can hardly say which step you miss or where the error happens, i know you've get the "Metadata contains a refrence that can not be resolved" in Worker role applicaiton already.

Thanks for understanding.

i have added a reference in worker role - 3 dlls of   CRM 2011 SDK (CRM.sdk,crm.sdk.proxy,xrm.sdk)

public override void Run()
{

 while (true)
            {
               // Thread.Sleep(10000);
                Trace.WriteLine("Working", "Information");

        OrganizationServiceProxy crmSDKObject;
        Uri organizationUri = new Uri("http://crmservername/orgname/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
        Uri homeRealmUri = null;
        System.ServiceModel.Description.ClientCredentials credentials = new System.ServiceModel.Description.ClientCredentials();
        credentials.Windows.ClientCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password", "domainname");
        crmSDKObject = new OrganizationServiceProxy(organizationUri, homeRealmUri, credentials, null);
         }
}

simply written this code & it is showing me error "Metadata contains a refrence that can not be resolved"

Answer 10

Hi,

I use your code at my side (both in WebRole and WorkRole) and get the same exception, but i find inner exception is "The remote name could not be resolved: 'crmservername'", could you make sure the service url is correct and client credential is OK? 

BR,

Arwind
