    RE: Linq Queries in MS CRM

    Hi,

    I would recommend you to look for the CRM SDK sample code for the server connection class creation.

    public class CrmConnection

       {

           IOrganizationService _service;

           public IOrganizationService ConnectToMSCRM(string UserName, string Password, string SoapOrgServiceUri)

           {

               try

               {

                   ClientCredentials credentials = new ClientCredentials();

                   credentials.UserName.UserName = UserName;

                   credentials.UserName.Password = Password;

                   Uri serviceUri = new Uri(SoapOrgServiceUri);

                   OrganizationServiceProxy proxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serviceUri, null, credentials, null);

                   proxy.EnableProxyTypes();              

                    _service = (IOrganizationService)proxy;

               }

               catch (Exception ex)

               {

                   Console.WriteLine("Error while connecting to CRM " + ex.Message);

                   Console.ReadKey();

               }

               return _service;

           }

       }

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Thangamani
