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I'm guessing this has been superseded by something else.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

RE: XrmServiceContext.Create

This didn't work as private readonly IOrganizationService _serviceContext; would always be null

RE: XrmServiceContext.Create

I've added a line at the top of my code

private readonly IOrganizationService _serviceContext;

This replaces the call to XRMServiceContext (which refers to the xrm.cs file)

This eliminates the compile error.

Is this the right approach or will I get lots of problems later on?

RE: XrmServiceContext.Create

I've a copy of the old xrm.cs file

There are missing methods in the new one.

Is this a result of the upgrade to 8.2?

What I am reading tells me that Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.IOrganizationService should give me what I require

old file

/// Represents a source of entities bound to a CRM service. It tracks and manages changes made to the retrieved entities.
/// </summary>
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("CrmSvcUtil", "6.0.0000.0809")]
public partial class XrmServiceContext : Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CrmOrganizationServiceContext
{

/// <summary>

/// </summary>
public XrmServiceContext()
{
}

/// <summary>

public XrmServiceContext(Microsoft.Xrm.Client.CrmConnection connection) :

}

/// <summary>

public XrmServiceContext(string contextName) :
base(contextName)
{
}

/// <summary>

/// </summary>
public XrmServiceContext(Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.IOrganizationService service) :
base(service)
{
}

new file

public XrmServiceContext(Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.IOrganizationService service) :
base(service)
{
}

Hi Lee,

You should use 4.5.2

Thanks, changed it

Unfortunately it's still not solved the issue :(

RE: XrmServiceContext.Create

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?

RE: XrmServiceContext.Create

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...
