Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved

Posted on by RollingStonzcrm 2

Hi,  we recently upgraded to D365 from CRMonline.  We have an webapp that uses CRM webservices SDK to connect to D365 and create new contact and activity. It was working fine until recently that we get an error as below

It appears that we need to upgrade to latest D365 SDK.  Is there any way we can do the code upgrade via some tools? or what is the best way to upgrade.  Our app contains XRM.cs class as well. 

{"Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'companyname.crm.dynamics.com/.../Organization.svc'."}

    Hi Gopalan,  yes. custom entities are used.  The app was working fine until recent update and its my understanding that some features have been depreciated. 

    my app.conf file 

     <microsoft.xrm.client>
    <contexts>
      <add name="Xrm" type="Xrm.XrmServiceContext, Xrm" connectionStringName="Xrm"/>
    </contexts>
  </microsoft.xrm.client>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="Xrm" connectionString="Url=company.crm.dynamics.com; Username=user1; Password=Password-1; authtype=Office365"/>
    
  </connectionStrings>


    The code that I used as below: 

    using (XrmServiceContext orgContext = new XrmServiceContext("Xrm"))
{
try

                {
                    var monitor = (from m in orgContext.CreateQuery("custom_entity")
                                   select m).FirstOrDefault();
}
}


    From what I understand, I have to use Xrm.Tooling.Connector.CrmServiceClient so I am wondering how could I create the orgContext and leverage the Xrm.cs which is the file I generated for early bound.  In otherwords, what changes do I need to make at app.config file and for the code

    Hi

    If have not added new custom entities, custom fields then you do not need to generate XRM.cs class (early binding types).

    Did you refer the following article:
