Hello!

I have a option set field that have two options A, B. values are 0 and 1 respectively.

Now I have retrieved a record containing the above option set field, with A in it.

How can I get that A from the option set in the record I retrieved?

I used the code below to get text fields

EntityCollection contacts = RetrieveContacts();

foreach (Entity contact in contacts.Entities)

{

Guid contactId = contact.Id;

string name = contact.Contains("name") ? contact["name"].toString() : "";

}

Thank you!

For getting the option set value:

int value = ((OptionSetValue)entity["yourattributename"]).Value;

For getting the text:

String text = entity.FormattedValues["yourattributename"].ToString();

In the above code entity is the Entity object from which the optionset value/text to be retrieved. Please replace the attribute name with your case.
