RE: How to Add an Existing Record into a Subgrid in Dynamics 365 CRM Using c#

Hi,

Thank you for your query.

You can use Web API to bind the contact with an account.

Here is the Web API request example:

PATCH [Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/contacts(<Contact-Guid>) HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
OData-MaxVersion: 4.0
OData-Version: 4.0

{
"parentcustomerid@odata.bind":"[Organization URI]/api/data/v9.0/accounts(<Account-Guid>)"
}

You can use HttpRequest or HTTPClient to post request on Dynamics 365 Web API.

Here is the official samples using C#. Net:

You can also Postman to test your scenarios:
