How to create an OrganizationService instance from CrmServiceClient?

Posted on by Community Member

I'm using the CrmServiceClient from the XRM tooling library in order to run queries on a CRM instance.

Does anyone know how I can cast the CrmServiceClient to an OrganizationService instance?

I need to create this instance in order to access the OrganizationService.Retrieve():
In order to do the following, where sourceService is an instance of OrganizationService -

sourceService.Retrieve(entityName, queueId, attributes);

At the moment I can run a query by casting the CrmServiceClient to an OrganizationServiceContext instance like this -

CrmServiceClient svcClient = Ctrl.CrmConnectionMgr.CrmSvc;

         
using (OrganizationServiceContext sourceContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(svcClient.OrganizationServiceProxy))
              

Q0 = (from q in sourceContext.CreateQuery("queue")
where q.GetAttributeValue<OptionSetValue>("emailrouteraccessapproval").Value == 2 ||
q.GetAttributeValue<OptionSetValue>("emailrouteraccessapproval").Value == 3

select q).ToList();

Hi,

You have already got OrganizationServiceProxy (svcClient.OrganizationServiceProxy).

You can simply use the following code to

Var sourceService = (IOrganizationService) svcClient.OrganizationServiceProxy;

And call sourceService.Retreive.

Please mark the answer as verified if it was helpful.

Okay that has worked for the casting the IOrganizationService.

But when I call Entity.SetAttributeValue<> within that code the compiler tells me "The non-generic method 'Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Entity.SetAttributeValue(string, object)' cannot be used with type arguments"

Any ideas why that is, there is no option given for SetAttributeValue in intellisense?

I normally use it like this:

passedDownQueueEntity.SetAttributeValue<OptionSetValue>("emailrouteraccessapproval", EmailApprovalStates.Approved);

SetAttributeValue is protected virtual method.

You can use it if you Extend Entity class.

The early bound classes generating using crmsvcutil uses this method because they inherit from Entity class.

You can try.

passedDownQueueEntity.Attributes["emailrouteraccessapproval"] = new OptionSetValue(1);

string connectionString = @"AuthType=AD;Url=organization-url; Domain=domain; Username=username; Password=pwd";

CrmServiceClient conn = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);

OrganizationServiceProxy _serviceProxy = conn.OrganizationServiceProxy;
