RetrieveEntityRequest req= new RetrieveEntityRequest

RetrieveAsIfPublished = true

RetrieveEntityResponse res= (RetrieveEntityResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(req);
EntityMetadata currentEntity = res.EntityMetadata;
foreach(AttributeMetadata attribute in currentEntity.Attributes)

var attributeName = attribute .LogicalName;

Hi Mohsin Ali,
Nithya started correct but you need to provide a different EntityFilter option:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.metadata.entityfilters.aspx
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| All |
Use this to retrieve all data for an entity. Value = 15. |
|
| Attributes |
Use this to retrieve entity information plus attributes for the entity. Value = 2. |
|
| Default |
Use this to retrieve only entity information. Equivalent to EntityFilters.Entity. Value = 1. |
|
| Entity |
Use this to retrieve only entity information. Equivalent to EntityFilters.Default. Value = 1. |
|
| Privileges |
Use this to retrieve entity information plus privileges for the entity. Value = 4. |
|
| Relationships |
Use this to retrieve entity information plus entity relationships for the entity. Value = 8. |
Cheers,
Andreas
Thanks Gopinath. I've 31 fields so far in CRM for account but it shows I have null in attributes.
Hi Mohsin Ali,
We can retreive all the attributes(fields) of an entity using the following code.
RetrieveEntityRequest req= new RetrieveEntityRequest
{
EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity,
LogicalName = "EntityLogicalName" // like "account"
};
RetrieveEntityResponse res= (RetrieveEntityResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(req);
EntityMetadata currentEntity = res.EntityMetadata;
foreach(AttributeMetadata attribute in currentEntity.Attributes)
{
var attributeName = attribute .LogicalName;
}
