Hi Guys,
I'm using webservices to create records in opportunity entity,
There are alot of lookup fields
How can I sue them in the code
and wht does this mean?
account.Attributes["????"] = new EntityReference("????", new Guid("b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900"));
Thx alot

account.Attributes["????"] : Here you need to specify the name of field/attribute of CRM entity- in this case it will be the attrbute name on acconut entity.
new EntityReference("????" : Here you need to provide the Logical Name of the entity whose Guid you are providing.
So suppose you want to set owner of account to xyz user.
so you will write
account.Attributes["ownerid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", new Guid("b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900"));
Here the GUID need to be of the specific user who you want to set as owner.
Thanks,
PS
Hi,
Consider an example. You have a lookup field to Account called parentaccountid in the Opportunity form. So If I am creating a record of opportunity, then the code to set the value of lookup field should be as follows.

Entity opportunity = new Entity("opportunity");
opportunity.Attributes["parentaccountid"] = new EntityReference("account", new Guid("b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900"));
b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900 is the guid of the account record.
Hope this helps.
Example:
account.Attributes["parentaccountid"] = new EntityReference("account", new Guid("b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900"));
account.Attributes["field logical name"] = new EntityReference("entity logical name", new Guid("b90240ad-2d0a-e511-80df-0a2032eda900"));
This would set the Parent Account field on an Account record to another Account.
Entity Reference is a way of creating a link to another record. It needs to be a complex type because you need the entity type and id to get back to a specific record.
