Hi,

I am working on a requirement where in marketing list, an attribute is once true and on some execution, i want to make it false. I am setting that CRM optionset value to false through code but it doesn't reflect on my CRM entity on again execution. Using an MVC application. Can you please tell me how to send data back to CRM and reflect the changes there using C# code.

Thanks

What code are you using?

Any errors?

Are you using bool (0, 1) / yes no / true false?

@antc : Basically,i am using --

entity.Id = (Guid)item.Attributes["entityguid"];

entityid = entity.Id;

item.Attributes["new_attributename"] = false;

service.Update(entity);

But, it doesn't reflect the value to CRM server.Just make the value changed to my code.

item.Attributes["new_attributename"] = false; Looks Ok

Can you run in VS debug mode with some breakpoints to see whats happening maybe an error in other code?

Hi,
In your custom application, you make make an instance of the IOrganizationService using CrmServiceClient (msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.tooling.connector.crmserviceclient.aspx). So in your custom application should be information for accessing your OrganizationService.

After that in your code should be like this

var marketing = new Entity("list", target.Id); marketing["attr"] = false; _service.update(marketing);

Something like this.

Hi

You are setting the attribute value for object item but you are updating object entity hence no change in CRM. You update code should be

service.Update(item);
