I’m tweaking the REST sample located here for my custom entity http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh223541.aspx

It retrieves and displays the table for all attributes except money. That is, if my requested attributes don’t include an attribute of type money the table displays. Once I add a money attribute nothing is displayed. Below is my custom html. I’m using the same SDK.OptionSetSample.js included in the sample vs solution.

    The sample script looks like this for Money as it has a case already:

    case "Money":
case "Integer":
 var Value = record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName];
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName] = {};
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].Value = Value;
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].isDirty = false;

    In the two cases outlined, Integer will work fine as it is a primitive type and so will return the actual numerical value into record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].Value

    However the money type is a complex object so that is assigned to the same variable but wont actually give you the value it represents just the object which is why it isn’t displaying. You actually need a further .value on the end to retrieve the numerical value it represents.

    Either change the switch to this:

    case "Integer":
 var Value = record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName];
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName] = {};
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].Value = Value;
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].isDirty = false;
case "Money":
 var Value = record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName];
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName] = {};
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].Value = Value.value;
 record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].isDirty = false;

    or when you put the money attribute in your table make sure that the value that gets shown is record[AttributeMetadata.SchemaName].Value.value

    I think its a lower case for value it might be upper Value

    Hope that makes sense.
