Hi ,
You can use foreach to loop through the entity collection and add entity values to your Generic List like below . Although there is a complex way , but I have not tried at the moment .

// Create your own Generic Class
public class Account
{
public String Name { get; set; }
public string Phone { get; set; }
}
// Declare the Generic List
List<Account> listAccDetails = new List<Account>(); EntityCollection Result = service.RetrieveMultiple(query); foreach (var targetEntity in Result.Entities) {
// You can also check here the attributes value and accordingly add to your generic list
Account _account = new Account(); _account.Name = (targetEntity.Contains("name")) ? targetEntity["name"].ToString() : ""; _account.Phone = (targetEntity.Contains("phone")) ? targetEntity["phone"].ToString() : ""; listAccDetails.Add(_account); // Add to list }
listAccDetails = listAccDetails.Where(p => p.Name == "test").ToList(); // Filter the list using Linq
Hello,
You need to loop through the entities in the entitycollection as
foreach(var entity in entitycollection.entities)
{
}
For each of the entity record in the loop above, you can get the value of an attribute using "entity.GetAttributeValue("AttributeName")".
To convert entitycollection to a list, use the code as below:
List<entitycollection> entityCollectionListName = new List<entitycollection>();
entityCollectionListName.AddRange(entitycollection.entities);
Please mark it as answer if found helpful.
Thank you,
