Where is the Annotation class?

Part of my task includes using a known GUID for a specific entity type (for example, Account) to upload an associated file. I found the following example through the Dynamics developers resources...

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/developer/sample-upload-retrieve-download-attachment

The example uses a class called Annotation. But I can't find the Annotation class in any of the libraries that seem to be required for connection with Dynamics CRM. When I just type in Annotation and look at the help menu, I get these options...

And neither of those using-options matches this need.

So, where are those Annotations for Dynamics CRM that equate to Notes? Or what should I be using instead to upload files to attach them to various entities?

Oof. I'm disappointed that Microsoft didn't do better than that, but I understand now. Thank you for the answer.

Hi Kevin,

You need to use the crmsvc tool from the SDK to generate the early bound classes

See: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg327844.aspx

This will generate a .cs file with classes for the CRM entities which you can add to you Visual Studio Project
