FetchXML Formatter Tool

It is a Light weight windows application and this tool will be helpful when you are extensively working with FetchXML in Javascript / C# code to get desired result.

Functionality:

It will take FetchXML from Advance Find as an input and convert that into desired format, which can be used into Javascript / C# for further coding.

Pros:

  1. No Need to spend time for FetchXML formatting
  2. It is easy to use.
  3. Works for both Javascript and C# code

Example:

Let us take a simple example of the below FetchXML,

 <fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
  <entity name="contact">
    <attribute name="fullname" />
    <attribute name="telephone1" />
    <attribute name="emailaddress1" />
    <attribute name="contactid" />
    <order attribute="fullname" descending="false" />
    <filter type="and">
      <condition attribute="ownerid" operator="eq-userid" />
      <condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="0" />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>

Provide this as an input to FetchXML formatter Tool, 1. Check Javascript radio button and click on Format to see the below output,

"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>"+
"  <entity name='contact'>"+
"    <attribute name='fullname' />"+
"    <attribute name='telephone1' />"+
"    <attribute name='emailaddress1' />"+
"    <attribute name='contactid' />"+
"    <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />"+
"    <filter type='and'>"+
"      <condition attribute='ownerid' operator='eq-userid' />"+
"      <condition attribute='statecode' operator='eq' value='0' />"+
"    </filter>"+
"  </entity>"+
"</fetch>"

2. Check C# radio button and click on Format to see the below output,

@"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>
  <entity name='contact'>
    <attribute name='fullname' />
    <attribute name='telephone1' />
    <attribute name='emailaddress1' />
    <attribute name='contactid' />
    <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />
    <filter type='and'>
      <condition attribute='ownerid' operator='eq-userid' />
      <condition attribute='statecode' operator='eq' value='0' />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>"

Step 5: Click on Download Fetch XML button, to get FetchXML code. You can see the below XML,

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
  <entity name="contact">
    <attribute name="fullname" />
    <attribute name="telephone1" />
    <attribute name="contactid" />
    <order attribute="fullname" descending="false" />
    <filter type="and">
     <condition attribute="fullname" operator="eq" value="Arun Potti" />
    </filter>
  </entity>
</fetch>

Step 6: We have to change the format of the above FetchXML to use in Javascript.

Use FetchXML Formatter Tool to modify the format.

To Know more about FetchXML Formatter Tool click Here

After modifying its looks like the below,

"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>"+
"  <entity name='contact'>"+
"    <attribute name='fullname' />"+
"    <attribute name='telephone1' />"+
"    <attribute name='contactid' />"+
"    <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />"+
"    <filter type='and'>"+
"      <condition attribute='fullname' operator='eq' value='Arun Potti' />"+
"    </filter>"+
"  </entity>"+
"</fetch>"

Step 7: Now create new_contactJscript Webresource and paste the below code,

function contactOnload() {
 var contactFetchXML = "<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='false'>"+
 "  <entity name='contact'>"+
 "    <attribute name='fullname' />"+
 "    <attribute name='telephone1' />"+
 "    <attribute name='contactid' />"+
 "    <order attribute='fullname' descending='false' />"+
 "    <filter type='and'>"+
 "      <condition attribute='fullname' operator='eq' value='Arun Potti' />"+
 "    </filter>"+
 "  </entity>"+
 "</fetch>";
var contactRecords = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.Fetch(contactFetchXML);
if (contactRecords.length > 0) {
 if (contactRecords[0].attributes.telephone1 != undefined)
   alert(contactRecords[0].attributes.telephone1.value);
  }
}

Step 8: Add the new_contactJscript Webresource to Form Libraries on contact Form, and add the contactOnload function to Onload Event,

Step 9: Click on Ok. Save & Publish the contact Entity.

Step 10: Open the existing contact record to see the below pop up,
