Tip #1296: Quoting for developers
If you think this tip is great, I’ll take it as a compliment. If you think it’s lame, Joel is the one to blame because he was the one who convinced me to publish it. I like smart quotes (in Word and in Outlook). They make your text look “smart” without too much effort. On […]

Daryl, you have the floor Writing clean code is constantly at the for-front of developers, and usually, “less” code generally results in […]
Tip #827: Restricting date picker on portal forms
This tip comes directly from none other than Tanguy “The XRM Toolbox” Touzard himself. It’s super easy to build an entity form and a page to allow editing of the Dynamics 365 records in a portal. But what if we want to restrict a date picker control to a certain range, which could be dynamic, […]
