How to get list of fields from particular entity form

Posted on by gloamingon 250

Hi All,

I need to know to extract data using sql query to get list of fields that embedded on particular entity form?

I know it can be performed by xrmtoolbox, but my requirement is different and need to extract this information from sql query.

example : in "account" entity we have "information" form and within information form we have "first name", "last name" as fields.

so, the result of query it should be :

entity form logical field display field
account information firstname First Name
account information lastname Last Name

thanks in advance

    Hi, yes it is fine if it will use C# as well. Do you have sample code for this? or maybe inform to me which entity or the source that I may get the data for that XML.

    Hi

    Is your requirement to only use SQL or can you use C# as well?

    Forms are stored as XML so it is not very straightforward to get the list of fields from them using SQL.

    If you are happy to do this in C#, you can query and get the form XML, and load it as XMLDocument or use XMLReader to process and get the list of fields

    One other option, which I have not tested,  would be to get the list of fields that have dependency on the form
