This accelerator utilizes an ASP.NET starter kit and several components of the ASP.NET framework including the membership provider for authentication. The out of the box functionality of eService includes the ability for customers to create cases, schedule and manage service appointments, search through KB articles, etc all from within the website.</p> <p>Don’t be fooled by the name “eService”, as underneath the covers, there is an ASP.NET control suite for CRM. Each of the ASP.NET form you saw in this video is a customizable ASP.NET user control and all of its properties and settings are derived from the CRM metadata. You can hook up these controls to any entity within the CRM system and configure them fairly easily.</p> <p>I’m sure this accelerator will jump start CRM development for a lot of ASP.NET developers and vice versa.</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9199386" width="1" height="1">CRMAcceleratorsChannel9ASP.NEThttp://blogs.msdn.com/girishr/archive/2008/12/10/crm-accelerators-event-management.aspxThu, 11 Dec 2008 08:59:08 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9195106girishr2http://blogs.msdn.com/girishr/comments/9195106.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/girishr/commentrss.aspx?PostID=9195106<p>We continue our channel9 <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/CRM+Accelerators/" target="_blank">CRM accelerator video series</a> with this post is on Event Management accelerator.</p> <p><object data="data:application/x-silverlight," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="320" height="240"> <param name="source" value="http://channel9.msdn.com/App_Themes/default/VideoPlayer.xap" /> <param name="initParams" value="m=mms://mschnlnine.wmod.llnwd.net/a1809/d1/ch9/9/1/0/8/4/4/CRMAcceleratorsEventManagement_s_ch9.wmv,autostart=false,autohide=true,showembed=true, thumbnail=http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/9/1/0/8/4/4/CRMAcceleratorsEventManagement_large_ch9.jpg" /> <param name="background" value="#00FFFFFF" /> <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=124807" style="text-decoration: none;"> <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style: none" /> </a> </object></p> <p><a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/girishr/CRM-Accelerators-Event-Management/">CRM Accelerators: Event Management</a></p> <p>The event management accelerator allows you to plan and manage events and logistics through Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This front end portal of this accelerator is actually built using an ASP.NET starter kit. Behind the scenes, CRM plug-ins and workflows drives the business logic like registration, waitlists, notifications etc.</p> <p>The data model and business logic that Reuben has designed for this is very comprehensive and is a result of working with several event organizers. If you’re looking at building an event management solution, this accelerator will reduce a lot of brainstorming &amp; revisions that you have to do otherwise.</p> <p>Given the design of this, I’m beginning to wonder if this accelerator could very well become a Content Management System (CMS) for event planning. What do you think?</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9195106" width="1" height="1">CRMAcceleratorsChannel9ASP.NET
