Getting Account details along with Contacts?

Posted on by Community Member

Hello, I'm working on a C# app that access the user's Dynamics data. In some cases I lookup Contacts and if those contacts have an Account Name (aka Company Name) set then I'd also like to get back the Account name and ID along with some Contact details. I've got the lookup of the Contacts working fine but haven't been able to figure out if I can also get back the related Account info. I'm using a QueryExpression to get back the Contacts along with RetrieveMultiple(). I believe that the relationship I'm interested in is the contact_customer_contacts but beyond that I'm clueless. I tried forming up some kind of LinkEntitys but couldn't seem to get the lookup to work.

This seems like a pretty common needs so how do I do it?

Thanks!

Hi,

You need to use Link entity (msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.sdk.query.linkentity.aspx) to get related entity fields, you can use queryexpression or fetchxml for this. below are some of the threads which should help you
