I am using silverlight to create a button that would update a field in CRM 2011

How would I retrieve accountid from [AccountBase] table and then update field in the [AccountBase] table.,

when the user clicks on the account record, is there away to get it's current accountid?

my current code works but I am hard-coding the account id, how do I retrieve the current account id? thank you

    private void btnUpdateAccount_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        Guid _accountid = new Guid("64693B0D-463B-E211-ABBA-000C290C2C64");
        Account _account = new Account();
        _account.AccountNumber = "121276541";
        _account.AccountId = _accountid;
        _context.AttachTo("AccountSet", _account);
        _context.UpdateObject(_account);
        _context.BeginSaveChanges(UpdateAccount, _account);
    }
    private void UpdateAccount(IAsyncResult result)
    {
        _context.EndSaveChanges(result);
        Account _account = result.AsyncState as Account;
        textBoxUpdate.Text = "update end.";

    }

Re: silverlight to retrieve Account Id in CRM 2011

If you are using the Silverlight control within your form, you can use the following code within your Silverlight Application:

string accountId = App.Current.Host.InitParams["id"];

Make sure that on the form design, in the properties of the Silverlight control -> Formatting Tab check the "Pass record object-type and unique identifer as parameters".

You can also use the the dynamic object:

dynamic Xrm = (ScriptObject)HtmlPage.Window.GetProperty("Xrm");

var contactid = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getId();

Hope this helps.
