Difference b/w RetreiveMultipleRequest and RetreiveMultiple

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 239

Hi All,

In my plugin code I am using the following:

RetrieveMultipleRequest retreiveMultipleRequest = new RetrieveMultipleRequest()
{
Query = new FetchExpression(filterString.Replace("XXXXX", parentRecordId.ToString()))
};

RetrieveMultipleResponse Retriveresp = (RetrieveMultipleResponse)service.Execute(retreiveMultipleRequest);

Code review tool is highlighting to use service.RetreiveMultiple()

Wanted to understand if there's any difference between the two?

    Hi D365CEFan,

    As suggested by Joseph, RetreiveMultiple is only short method of RetreiveMultipleRequest and RetreiveMultipleResponse.

    Here one more thing you could do using RetreiveMultiple like fetchxml expression retrieve multiple

    Hi D365CEFan

    The RetreiveMultiple method in IOrganisationService interface is effectivelly a shorthand method for doing a RetrieveMultipleRequest

    The only real differences is that you can also do QueryByAttribute, or FetchExpression rather than QueryExpression when calling RetreiveMultiple as they are also types of QueryBase
