Queryexpression not returing results

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jayaa E 75

I am attempting to make a console application to retrieve results using the Dynamics CRM SDK and C# but I can't seem to get any results from my queries. I can see that I am connected to the CRM instance, but any QueryExpression I try to make seems to come back with nothing, even if I set it with no filter.  I have also tried with fetchxml, no results returned. I am getting the below error.

Exception thrown: 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1' in Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1' occurred in Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll
Invalid XML.

The account which I am using is admin account. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance!!

    checking if the userid value is not an empty is kind of useless, if you have connection problems you will get an exception before getting to that line.

    Let's assume only the QueryExpression of your second screenshot (the fetchxml of your first screenshot is clearly unformatted but it should be ok) if you remove the condition you will get all the contacts in the system (up to 5000), if you still get an error (and the userid has value) then post your full code, because that code you posted should work

    Hi,

    There seems to be an issue with fetch xml.

    I would recommend to use below tool to format your fetchxml to use in C# console.

    Thanks a lot Bipin. As you said, the issue was in fetchxml.
