Web Lead Import to CRM Live
Integrating you customer facing site to CRM Live is valuable addition to fine tuning your business process. This will allow you to capture real time customer questions, inquiries, etc into your CRM process.
I've created a simple web application using ASP.net to connect to MSCRM Live and to input a lead. The application requires the user to enter their Live ID and password. In a real life usage you would probably embed this in some format. I chose to prompt for it to allow multiple orgs to test it without having to make any code changes.
The application also shows how to authenticate using Windows Live to CRM Live.
Here's the link to the SDK. It has great documentation and has a sample that I based my web-lead sample from.
Here's the link to the my sample application. It's on my SkyDrive in Windows Live. The app is in a zip file and was built with Visual Studio 2008

What steps do we need to do modify this example to try it out, or can we try it out as it is using the dev.crm.dynamics.com host? We have been unable to get the sample to work as hoped. If you could provide us with some quick steps to get the sample setup, it would be most appreciated!Anonymous

Jon, Thank you SO much for this code. However, I'm having a problem with the passport login on my production server. I wrote a long post about it here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.crm.developer/browse_frm/thread/190e915652e52f15 If you have a minute to read it and get back to me (or others who might run into the same problem), that would be great! Thanks!
