Hi Team,

I have to perform the CRUD operation for the different data types field present in CRM.

Suppose i have a custom field of data type "Single line of text" then for this particular type of field i should be able to insert or delete or update or retrieve the data through GUID or any other way.

Like ways i need to do for other data types of the field.

Not getting the logic and the code to proceed further.

Can anyone please help me out to get the logic and the code?

Thanks in Advance :)

I am not sure what exactly you want to do but here are few options -

1. Use Data Import - Settings > Data Management > Imports or use Data loader

2. Use Web API calls to insert / update or retrieve data

Refer to the SDK

Hope this helps.

Hi Francesco Picchi and Mihir Shah,

Thanks a lot for the response.

Will explain my scenario here:

My requirement is, I want to perform the action update or insert or retrieve or delete the data present in the field by using the console Application.

So, after creation of the field i should be able to perform all these actions on the field.

Hope my requirement is bit clear.

Thanks in Advance :)

Hi Anita,

It should be straight forward. Below i sthe sample for create

// Create a new contact record

Entity accountEnt = new Entity("account"); // Single Line accountEnt["name"] = "Test Account"; // Owner Lookup accountEnt["ownerid"] = new EntityReference("team", new Guid("A09EAF81-B7B7-E711-8168-E0071B675C91")); // Look up to a team with this id // Currency Lookup accountEnt["transactioncurrencyid"] = new EntityReference("transactioncurrency", new Guid("C2D2DA87-A282-E711-8125-70106FA12A51")); // Look up to a Currency AUD // Option Set/ Drop Down accountEnt["customertypecode"] = new OptionSetValue(1); // Pass the integer number to optionsetvale object. 1 being competitor value // Money accountEnt["creditlimit"] = new Money(100M); // Pass the decimal number to money object. // Whole Number accountEnt["numberofemployees"] = 1000; // Pass the integer value. // Two Option (Boolean) accountEnt["creditonhold"] = true; // Pass the boolean value (true or false). service.Create(accountEnt);

To read/ update a value, you just need to use the same datatype as mentioned above in create.

To delete a value, simple set the value to null. This will empty the the value of the field

accountEnt["name"] = null;

Take a look at this for more info-
