OrganizationService vs OrganizationServiceProxy

Posted on by Emmanuel Barache

Hi everybody,

I have a small technical question: Could someone tell me the difference between class and OrganizationService OrganisationServiceProxy (which are both descendants of IOrganizationService)?

I like using the OrganizationService class because it allows you to configure the timeout easily via its CRMConnection member.

I identified that the OrganizationServiceProxy class exposes a method named EnableProxyTypes that seems useful to enable the early-bound. However, when I use the OrganizationService class, I am able to work on the CRM entities in early-bound without difficulty, it seems to me.

Does anybody could also advise me the best method of connection to the CRM knowing that my need is to set the timeout of the web service and to work in early-bound when I work with the entities of CRM?

Thanks a lot for your help,

RE: OrganizationService vs OrganizationServiceProxy

I think another important distinction is that the proxy is not thread safe

RE: OrganizationService vs OrganizationServiceProxy

Hi Emmanuel,

OrganizationService is a higher level class that provides richer client side functionality and actually uses OrganizationServiceProxy inside it.

The Microsoft.Xrm.Client assembly that holds this higher level API cannot be used in Plugins etc but is intended for rich clients and ASP.NET.

It's worth noting that the Microsoft.Xrm.Client assembly has been removed from the CRM2016 SDK. For 2016 projects you might consider using the XRM Toolking assemblies.

See msdn.microsoft.com/.../dn689057.aspx

It has similar functionality that you mention around the connection manager -msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt608573.aspx

Hope this answers your question!
