I am using the following code to get the object type in ms dynamics CRM 2013 and 2015, in CRM 2015 Update 1 the code is not working?  

function GetObjectTypeCode(entityName)
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets the EntityTypeCode / ObjectTypeCode of a entity
/// </summary>
/// <param name="entityName" type="string">
/// Name of entity to return object type code of
/// </param>
/// <returns type="int" />
var lookupService = new RemoteCommand("LookupService","RetrieveTypeCode");
lookupService.SetParameter("entityName", entityName);
var result = lookupService.Execute();
if (result.Success && typeof result.ReturnValue == "number")
{
return result.ReturnValue;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}

    This is not a supported method, better to shift to supported methods. You can write a metadata query.

    Check this: https://xrmservicetoolkit.codeplex.com/

    Thanks

    Hi Rajkumar,

    I tried it earlier, but it is not working. There is no error is showing, i put a debugger and see the code, once it is getting into the following line

    var lookupService = new RemoteCommand("LookupService","RetrieveTypeCode");

    it is return.

    Hi HIMBAP,

    I didn't want Sdk.Rest rather than that i want the details why

    var lookupService = new RemoteCommand("LookupService","RetrieveTypeCode");

    this is not working and what is the update for this one.

    Also the code that you entered is not working, since the objcode is not assosiated with records, rather than it is assosiated with the Entity only.

    RemoteCommand is not part of the support SDK and so I am not surprised it does not work anymore.

    You will need to make a call to the metadata to get the object type code - e.g. msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg594428.aspx

    If you want and easy and (again unsupported) technique - you can use:

    Mscrm.EntityPropUtil.EntityTypeName2CodeMap[entityName]

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    Hi Jishad,

    In CRM 2015 updated rollup doesn't support the Remote command ,  you have to use supported methods only , 

    XrmServiceToolkit provides a method named as RetrieveEntityMetadata function , use this as follows

    var entityMetadata = XrmServiceToolkit.Soap.RetrieveEntityMetadata(["Entity"], "account", true);

    in the result you will get the Object type code of account entity
