    Hi Teja,

    I guess you want to retrieve the field value from the parent lookup entity.

    You need to query on the lookup entity based on the lookup id.

    Example:

    ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet(

                                new String[] { "lastname", "firstname", "address1_name" });

           var contact = service.Retrieve("contact", entity.Id, cols);
