Administrator, Consulting, CRM 4.0, Customizations, Developer, Downloads, Links, Support January 5th, 2009
This news is a bit stale by now, but this web part is too important of a tool to go unmentioned. The CRM 4.0 SharePoint List Web Part was finally released at the end of December! Unquestionably, the future of Dynamics CRM is hinged on combining its strengths with SharePoint, and this integration will be prominently featured in the next version (v5.0).
In the past, many CRM developers have created their own web part by modifying the v3.0 version or by other means, which Microsoft would instantly label as an “unsupported solution”. Fret no more! The supported Microsoft solution can be downloaded at the link below. It is easy to install and easy to configure.
