Add User record in Entity Subgrid using c# in CRM 9.0

Posted on by Jharana Baliyar Singh 2,667

Hi All,

I have one entity named Interview & one subgrid with user available & am retrieving all interview records & trying to add particular user in that subgrid in Interview entity using console.Here subgrid is 1:n relationship means interview to user. I am using Associate Request message but its only updating last record only from collection.

Is it correct way to use Associate or do i need to use Update Message to associate user in subgrid if Update requires then what will be the syntax for this ?

QueryExpression EnInterview = new QueryExpression();
            EnInterview.EntityName = "mdc_interviews";
            EnInterview.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(true);
            EnInterview.Criteria = new FilterExpression();
            EnInterview.Criteria.AddCondition("mdc_ismigrated", ConditionOperator.Equal, 755040000);
            EntityCollection InterviewColls = Service.RetrieveMultiple(EnInterview);
            AssociateRequest request1 = new AssociateRequest();
            try
            {          
                foreach (var enitem in InterviewColls.Entities)
                {
                    QueryExpression userQuery = new QueryExpression("systemuser");
                    userQuery.Criteria.AddCondition("fullname", ConditionOperator.Equal, "Shahzad Khan");
                    EntityCollection col = Service.RetrieveMultiple(userQuery);
                    if (col.Entities.Count > 0)
                    {
                        request1.Target = new EntityReference(enitem.LogicalName, enitem.Id);
                        foreach (Entity Eninci in col.Entities)
                        {                       
                            request1.RelatedEntities = new EntityReferenceCollection();
                            request1.RelatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference("systemuser", Eninci.Id));
                            request1.Relationship = new Relationship("mdc_mdc_interviews_systemuser");
                        }
                    }
                    if (request1 != null)
                        Service.Execute(request1);
                }           
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jharana

    Hi,

    No need to use associate, you can simple use update request, get records which you want to show in subgrid, update their lookup field (your parent entity) so that they can be shown in the subgrid.

    Let me know if you need more details.
