XrmServiceContext.Create

I'm currently upgrading to 8.2 from an earlier version. (the business wants it to be 8.2)

I'm getting an error on XrmServiceContext.Create(entity).

I'm guessing this has been superseded by something else.

Can anyone let me know what I should be looking for?

I'm also having difficulty with update and a couple of other methods.

Thanks
Lee

It's a compile error in visual studio

the line turns out to be code we've (someone else in the team) written, it was difficult to drill down to it, but managed to find it after a search.

Still no idea what the error is though

Hello,

It seems that you have something really old as part of your code.

Something there is referring to a class with namespace XrmServiceContext that is not part of the project, the reference is not added to the class where is being called, or doesn't contain a method for "Create".

A similar error is referred on this old post: social.microsoft.com/.../type-or-namespace-name-xrmservicecontext-could-not-be-found

Since you are upgrading to Dynamics 365, I would suggest you to use the Dynamics 365 Web API or Organization Service when performing code operations in Dynamics 365.

Please also check these official articles, they can guide you on how to rebuild your code:

Hope this helps you.

Yes, the code is old as it is an upgrade to 8.2 from an older version (6.0 I believe)

Thank you but the code is not all mine, the xrm.cs file is being generated for me, and I am expected to use it.

Is there anything available which directly helps me with the issue I am having?

the code is using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.IOrganizationService

but I cannot access .Create . Associate .Update etc...

I've got the target framework as 4.7.2

Could it be that I need to use an earlier framework for the 8.2 sdk?
