Account Composite Address C# SDK

HI All,

Just wondering if there's a simple answer I can't see....

I'm currently writing code using the C# SDK for Dynamics CRM 2016.

This code updates the addresses from another source.

I've tried setting Address1_xxxx fields on the account entity, and I've also tried setting them directly on the appropriate customeraddress entity.

In both cases, the "composite address" on the Account screen doesn't update.

I noticed that if i perform a similar update to a customeraddress entity that relates to a contact, that the contact screen does show the updated composite, even though it doesn't update the actual "composite" field in the database until the GUI triggers a save.

Is there something I can do to encourage the Composite Address to render properly on Account screens, or force it to update the database when the SDK Is making changes?

I'm guessing a fall-back solution might be some java-script on-load to manually re-populate the composite, but I feel like there's a proper answer to this?

Regards, Charles

Hi Charles,

I did an update on the address1_line2 field in account entity

it in turn updated the composite address field

Entity account = new Entity("account");
account.Id = new Guid("4A7295E3-7997-E611-8139-000D3A922D0E");
account.Attributes["address1_line2"] = "test";
_service.Update(account);

I did not do any operation on customer address related to account

Regards,

Siraj

Check your code to update the account entity with correct schema name "address1_line2" Because column name is case sensitive

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the replies.

I copied Siraj's code and it worked fine, but its almost identical to mine, so this was weird - so i worked back by commenting out lots of code, and slowly re-adding it.

If i comment out any one line, the composite addresses update. it doens't matter which of the below lines are commented out...

However, if i let all lines save, the actual data is saved and visible. If you check audit history - there is simply no update to either of the composites, but as soon as any one line is commented out - the composites get updated.

This is a really curious bug/interaction that i'd like to solve but for now I guess i can just make two separate updates...

Thanks for the help!

I have finally isolated an issue. here are the code blocks:

account["address1_line1"] = sa.street1;
account["address1_line2"] = sa.street2;
account["address1_line3"] = sa.street3;
account["address1_city"] = sa.city;
account["address1_postalcode"] = sa.postcode;
account["address1_stateorprovince"] = sa.State;
//account["address1_country"] = sa.country;

account["address2_line1"] = ba.street1;
account["address2_line2"] = ba.street2;
account["address2_line3"] = ba.street3;
account["address2_city"] = ba.city;
account["address2_postalcode"] = ba.postcode;
account["address2_stateorprovince"] = ba.State;
account["address2_country"] = ba.country;
