Recently I was working on a CustomPage and came across the need to be more flexible in fetching data from Dataverse.I needed to call complex fetchXmls and CustomAPIs. For this blog I'll talk only about fetching data, but my solution works also for calling CustomAPIs. For fetching data, the requitement is similar with the one... Continue Reading →
The Power Apps Grid customizer control is a preview feature I really look forward to. In the last two blogs I've already shown how to use it for: Host your own read-only or editable PCF inside the Power Apps Grid Implement calculated columns for offline using the Power Apps Grid In this blog I'll push...

We can implement calculated columns using Dataverse formula columns (using Power Fx), and that should be the first choice. But that won't work in offline mode (at least not that I am aware of). Using the Power Apps Grid customizer control, I could get it work offline too. In case you don't know about the... Continue Reading →
We've saw the Power Apps grid control (Preview) in the latest Wave Announcements. Each time we hear about great improvements. In Release Wave 1/2022 we've got inline-editing and infinite scrolling. But as we've tried it out, we saw the last parameter which sounded really promising: The description of the parameter was really exciting: Full logical... Continue Reading →
The Power Platform Release Plans for Wave 2/2022 are out. As a developer for Power Apps I've spotted so many features I was waiting for... Here are my top ones: #1 Power Apps Features These features are not directly targeting the developers, but they are very powerful tools to think of, when we design an... Continue Reading →
Last week I was just browsing to PCF sdk, in order to post a link for an answer in the Power Apps Community Forum, and I've landed to "EntityRecord". I had the feeling that something was different, so I had a look to the methods available there: Wait.... What...? Can we change and save with... Continue Reading →
I wanted to have look to the new announced Side Panes in model-driven apps. I've read some blogs, but until I don't try things out, I don't have the feeling that I really know what's about. It's still a preview, but maybe my test will help you get a feeling about what's possible... and get... Continue Reading →
Don’t worry, the HTML web resources for model-driven are not deprecated. I just don’t believe that I will ever make new ones again. But there is that old problem of ClientGlobalContext deprecation. The ClientGlobalContext is an aspx site which we used to include in every HTML web resource in order to get access to information... Continue Reading →
In-app notification announcement was very promising. Of course, I had to try it out right away. It's a preview feature, but the docs are already very detailed. We find there how to activate this feature per app and discover a lot of interesting examples on how to send notifications using form scripting. Basically, all we... Continue Reading →
In the last blog I've written about how to make Custom Pages. When you develop more complex Custom Pages you probably have to make changes to the page and play the app to check if it's working accordingly. But then I've got only notifications telling me to refresh to app, but wasn't able to tame... Continue Reading →
