                      <entity name='usnw_researchaccountmapping'>
                        <attribute name='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' />
                        <attribute name='usnw_researchaccountant' />
                        <order attribute='usnw_researchaccountant' descending='false' />
                        <link-entity name='usnw_usnw_department_usnw_researchaccountmap' from='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' to='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' visible='false' intersect='true'>

    Hi,

    If this is working in some case but in some case it is giving Invalid XMl then it must be because for soem records you are gettign some spscial characters withnthe name field hence the generated xml is corrupted.

    Check this below article to handle this: www.inogic.com/.../how-to-handle-special-characters-in-fetch-xml

    Hope this helps.

    Try with this  -

                              string recordsFetchQuery = @"<fetch version='1.0' output-format='xml-platform' mapping='logical' distinct='true'>"
                                                    + "<entity name='usnw_researchaccountmapping'>"
                                                    + "<attribute name='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' />"
                                                    + "<attribute name='usnw_researchaccountant' />"
                                                    + "<order attribute='usnw_researchaccountant' descending='false' />"
                                                    + "<link-entity name='usnw_usnw_department_usnw_researchaccountmap' from='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' to='usnw_researchaccountmappingid' visible='false' intersect='true'>"
                                                      + "<link-entity name='usnw_department' from='usnw_departmentid' to='usnw_departmentid' alias='ac'>"
                                                        + "<filter type='and'>"
                                                          + "<condition attribute='usnw_name' operator='eq' value='" + departmentReference.Name + "'/>"
                                                        + "</filter>"
                                                      + "</link-entity>"
                                                    + "</link-entity>"
                                                    + "</entity>"
                                                    +"</fetch>";
