Hi,
I'm just starting to explore Dynamics and the API and I'm just wondering how I can retrieve a record through the API without knowing the GUID of the record.
Here's the scenario that I have created so far. I have created a custom entity that has some fields defined such as Name, Fund Code and a few others.
I have a piece of C# code that queries my source DB for a list of records and then uses the Dynamics API (I'm using late bound n this instance) to load those records into my custom entity.
This all works really well so the next step is to augment the code slightly to check to see if the record already exists in Dynamics and then either update it if it does or create it if it doesn't. The problem is, is that I don't know what the Dynamics GUID is so I would like to retrieve the record using Fund Code which will be unique.
Could anyone offer any advice on how to achieve this?
Many Thanks!

Many thanks, that's spot on! I'm just working my way through the API so some of the methods are still a little new to me as I didn't know about the RetrieveMultiple!!
