Hi All,
Does anyone know how we can modify settings of a CRM solution using C# code? Like we need to change publisher using C# coding in a console application or some other application.
We need to remove the existing publisher and set another publisher programmatically using C# code.
Thanks
Hi Muhammad,
As per CRM SDK we will be able to create,update and retrieve the publishers of the solution.Below is the code for to create the publisher via programmatically.Use the code to create a new publisher and update the same publisher for a solution just using the update request instead of create.WHile updating you need to provide the ID of the publisher which is created.
/Define a new publisher
Publisher _crmSdkPublisher = new Publisher
{
UniqueName = "sdksamples",
FriendlyName = "Microsoft CRM SDK Samples",
SupportingWebsiteUrl = "msdn.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx",
CustomizationPrefix = "sample",
EMailAddress = "someone@microsoft.com",
Description = "This publisher was created with samples from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK"
};
//Does publisher already exist?
QueryExpression querySDKSamplePublisher = new QueryExpression
{
EntityName = Publisher.EntityLogicalName,
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("publisherid", "customizationprefix"),
Criteria = new FilterExpression()
};
querySDKSamplePublisher.Criteria.AddCondition("uniquename", ConditionOperator.Equal, _crmSdkPublisher.UniqueName);
EntityCollection querySDKSamplePublisherResults = _serviceProxy.RetrieveMultiple(querySDKSamplePublisher);
Publisher SDKSamplePublisherResults = null;
//If it already exists, use it
if (querySDKSamplePublisherResults.Entities.Count > 0)
{
SDKSamplePublisherResults = (Publisher)querySDKSamplePublisherResults.Entities[0];
_crmSdkPublisherId = (Guid)SDKSamplePublisherResults.PublisherId;
_customizationPrefix = SDKSamplePublisherResults.CustomizationPrefix;
}
//If it doesn't exist, create it
if (SDKSamplePublisherResults == null)
{
_crmSdkPublisherId = _serviceProxy.Create(_crmSdkPublisher);
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Created publisher: {0}.", _crmSdkPublisher.FriendlyName));
_customizationPrefix = _crmSdkPublisher.CustomizationPrefix;
}
Hope this helps.
