ALM a la Rapp – Evolve Power Platform delivery
What is ALM? As always, it’s an acronym. ALM means Application Lifecycle Management and many texts about ALM are available; white papers, articles, blogs, how-tos… But in my subjective it means: Keep track of everything we need.Don’t track things we can generate.Generate everything automagically. /Mr. Rapp What is ALM for the general population in the Power Platform area? You… Continue Reading Jonas...
FXB + EBG + code = ❤??
I released a new flavor of the existing feature Generate code for QueryExpression in FetchXML Builder for XrmToolBox! The “flavor” is to generate code, using the Early Bound codes. Especially from Daryl LaBar’s tool Early Bound Generator. Mini demo of Generate QueryExpression with flavor from Early Bound Generator for XrmToolBox. So why did I add this new flavor?

Microsoft Power Fx + XRM Tokens
Why mixing two very different but very similar features?I hope you will see it, if you read on… What’s a Token? I don’t really know why… but it’s a word, a special word, representing other words… where the word is a data word, will be replaced with words from the actual data, as it is actually used. I think. Ok, I started this post in the wrong way, since I can hardly explain it…. Continue...
Layouts in FetchXML Builder

A few requests for Environment Variables
It’s a small thing, a very fringe feature, and these improved features requests are only for me… or… crucial for everyone…? The Environment Variables feature became officially released a year ago, probably when I was “off the grid” last year. I sort of missed that… but it’s here now anyway. It’s like system settings, and is now supported by the core Power Platform. We don’t...

Archaeology – Finding CRM SDK History
When I have just created a new feature in my tools – I get a few error reports. Every time.Why is that? Mostly because users have an older version of Dataverse (or XRM/CRM).This is why I add updates, fixing one problem after another. Finding them the hard way. I tried a few times – no, many times – to look for the information I need: Dataverse Metadata Properties History I use… Continue Reading Jonas...

I like smart tools.I like smart code.I don’t like smart tools and cool code – if I have to write it again.
