Can the name be like Sample Name 1, Sample Name 2... or does it have to be random names?

You can create one entity object, in a for loop you can loop through and change the name and create the records.

Entity entNewRecord = new Entity("new_customentity");

for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)

{

entNewRecord["new_name"] = "Sample Name 1" + i;

CrmService.Create(entNewRecord);

}

In the above example, we are calling the CRM service 100 times. if it is a one-off thing, you can call Service.Create 100 times not much of a performance issue to worry about.

If you are planning to run this process on a regular or scheduled basis, you could consider using ExecuteMulitple to batch all the create requests into one. Please see below as to how you can do this

// Create an ExecuteMultipleRequest object.
var requestWithResults = new ExecuteMultipleRequest()
{
Settings = new ExecuteMultipleSettings()
{
ContinueOnError = false,
ReturnResponses = true
},
Requests = new OrganizationRequestCollection()
};

// Loop 100 times and create 100 entity objects with different name and add it to the request collection

for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
{
Entity entNewRecord = new Entity("new_customentity");
entNewRecord["new_name"] = "Sample Name 1" + i;

CreateRequest createRequest = new CreateRequest { Target = entNewRecord };
requestWithResults.Requests.Add(createRequest);
}

// Execute the batch request

ExecuteMultipleResponse responseWithResults = (ExecuteMultipleResponse)CrmService.Execute(requestWithResults);

Hi,

You can also use OOB import functionality without code.
