I have trying to write my first CRM plug in from my visual studio 2015 which has Microsoft 365 Developer toolkit installed, and the plug in is created from the template as my screenshot below.
My question is why isn't the RetrieveMultpleRequest compiled
RetrieveMultipleRequest rmreq = new RetrieveMultipleRequest(); // not compiled
RetrieveUnpublishedMultipleRequest rmreq1 = new RetrieveUnpublishedMultipleRequest(); // the similar method of this is compiled.
I know these example codes used in CRM 4.0, Does that mean the RetrieveMultipleRequest method is retired? then what is his replacement method.
The following is the sample plugin code I want to implement from internet : http://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/04/instantiating-service-object-within.html
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
// Obtain the organization service reference.
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
// The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
// Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (entity.LogicalName == "contact")
{
if (entity.Attributes.Contains("address1_city") == false)
{
RetrieveMultipleRequest rmreq = new RetrieveMultipleRequest();
RetrieveMultipleResponse rmresp = new RetrieveMultipleResponse();
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression()
{
EntityName = "systemuser",
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(true),
Criteria = new FilterExpression
{
FilterOperator = LogicalOperator.And,
Conditions =
{
new ConditionExpression
{
AttributeName = "systemuserid",
Operator = ConditionOperator.Equal,
Values = { context.UserId.ToString() }
}
}
}
};
rmreq.Query = query;
rmresp = (RetrieveMultipleResponse)service.Execute(rmreq);
Entity user = (Entity)rmresp.EntityCollection.Entities[0];
entity.Attributes.Add("address1_city", context.UserId.ToString() + ": " + user.Attributes["fullname"]);
}
else
{
// Throw an error, because account numbers must be system generated.
// Throwing an InvalidPluginExecutionException will cause the error message to be displayed in a dialog of the Web application.
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Bad, Naughty Plug-in, Don't do that!.");
}
}
}
}
