Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

I'm using web services to create records through person entity but there is an embedded opportunity entity section for program level and entry term.

How can I access them in my code becuase I tried this and it gave me eror , field doesnt exist in person form.

       account.Attributes["elcn_anticipatedentrytermid"] = new EntityReference("elcn_datatel_academicterm_opportunity_anticipatedentrytermid", new Guid("232ad52b-a648-e311-97b2-005056ae44f4"));

Any help will be so appreciated

    If I am not wrong you want to access the opportunity record for the person record, then you can use below code

    QueryExpression queryExpression = new QueryExpression { };

                   queryExpression.Criteria.AddCondition (elcn_anticipatedentrytermid, ConditionOperator.Equal, Your GUID);                

                   queryExpression.EntityName = oppurnity;

                   ColumnSet attributes = Your columns;

                   queryExpression.ColumnSet = attributes;

                   entityCollection = _crmAgent.RetrieveMultiple (queryExpression);

    This is the snipt that may work for you:

    //First is created a new contact

    Entity contact = new Entity("contact");

    contact.Attributes["firstname"] = "ContactFirstName";

    contact.Attributes["lastname"] = "ContactLastName";

    Guid contactId = _orgService.Create(contact, null);

    //Then assign the contact to an account.

    Entity account = new Entity("account");

    account["name"] = "Test Account1";

    EntityReference primaryContactId = new EntityReference("contact", contactId);

    account["primarycontactid"] = primaryContactId;

    We are not clear with your question, we are confuse with the terms that you have use to explain the question. By the term opportunity section we mean that you have an opportunity entity grid inside Person entity form.

    So one person can have multiple opportunities. And you want access those opportunities of that person.

    Is that correct?

    It would be helpful if you explain with screenshot.

    Thanks!

    Than you for the answer,

    The problem is we have a small section opportunity entity inside person entity in form called"new prospect students".

    How can I point my code to that section like

    account.Attributes["opportunity-prorgam name"] = new EntityReference("?????", new Guid("232ad52b-a648-e311-97b2-005056ae44f4"));

    Thanks alot

    Hi.. Can you give the whole code? Also the exact error...

    Seeing the above line I think elcn_datatel_academicterm_opportunity_anticipatedentrytermid is a relationship entity(n:n) while you are trying to set that to a custom entity which is throwing error.

    Shouldnt it be

    account.Attributes["elcn_anticipatedentrytermid"] = new EntityReference("elcn_anticipatedentryterm", new Guid("232ad52b-a648-e311-97b2-005056ae44f4"));

    Thanks,

    PS
