Silverlight no longer works in Chrome 42
In Google’s continuing effort to annoy me, starting with Chrome version 42, the Silverlight plugin no longer works. This is due to Google no longer supporting NPAPI plugins (see here).
To get around it until September 2015, you can use the below fix to re-enable NPAPI.
1. Type the below into the Chrome address bar and press enter: –
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
2. Click on ‘Enable’ under ‘Enable NPAPI’
3. Click on ‘Relaunch Now’ when it appears towards the bottom of the screen
You’ve now got until September to re-write your Silverlight controls in a compatible technology. Good luck!
Login Prompt When Opening Web Resource From Outlook

Other people have been reporting the same problem in the CRM forums both here and here, but none of the proposed solutions seemed to work for me. I had to advise users to log into CRM from Internet Explorer and leave it minimised to get around the problem.
When Microsoft introduced CRM 2011 Update Rollup 8, they also introduced a number of new Xrm.Utility JavaScript functions. Xrm.Utility.openWebResource jumped out at me as a possible fix to the login prompt issue. You can read more about the new functions on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM blog.
The JavaScript I had been using to launch my web resource from the ribbon button was: –
window.open("/WebResources/cnova_XRM_CV_SearchPage.html#/VacancyID/" + idString);
Note: idString is the guid of the record I am clicking the button from. Read the rest of this entry »
