Create log - first option in Event Viewer

Hi,

There are several options for writing logs

1. Create log in event viewer
2. Create log in file
3. Create log in entity log

Here is an example of writing log in event viewer


using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace WriteToEventLog {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
string eventViewerName = "EventViewerName";
string sourceName = "Project name";
string message = "My Message";

if (!EventLog.SourceExists(sourceName))
EventLog.CreateEventSource(sourceName, eventViewerName);

EventLog.WriteEntry(sourceName, message);
EventLog.WriteEntry(sourceName, message, EventLogEntryType.Warning, 1100);
EventLog.WriteEntry(sourceName, message, EventLogEntryType.Error,45454);
}
}
}


Thanks

CRM Screens freeze- Stuck

Try to open CRM Form usually edit.aspx page with a few iframes.

in some cases screen Stuck.

The reason for that is internet explorer Settings.
The default connection for internet explorer is two. It means the main form request data + one of the iframes then other iframes wait.. this problem Causes CRM to be freeze.

Solution:
Change the default values:
Open register page:
1. Go to start - > run and Type regedit:
2. Define MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer like the following example


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = dword: 0000000a
MaxConnectionsPerServer = dword: 0000000a
