Hi,

I am trying to switch a note record (Annotation entity) from one custom entity to another by changing the ObjectId and ObjectTypeCode. When I try and save the changes I get the following error;

"Invalid type for entity id value"

I have made sure the id and type code are correct for the new entity. is there anything wrong with this code?

     foreach (var entity in returnValues.EntityCollection.Entities)
            {
                var note = (Annotation) entity;

                //Just remove Key field of annotation
                note.AnnotationId = null;

                //Replace referencing object with destination object
                note.ObjectId = new EntityReference(destEntity.LogicalName, destEntity.Id);
                note.ObjectTypeCode = destObjectTypeCode.ToString();
                //And Create the annotation record
                service.Create(note);
            }

You are trying to use service.create. Rather it should be update?

I set the Id to null so it should Create. If i comment that out and change it to Update, it throws an exception again with just the object type code as the Message. ("10010") which is the code for the destination entity.

It appears my proxy class was wrong. I have done this which works;

entity.Attributes["objectid"] = new EntityReference(destEntity.LogicalName, destEntity.Id);

entity.Attributes["objecttypecode"] = destEntity.LogicalName;

service.Update(entity);

Mluce,

You use Create, it does mean you want to duplicate the existing note? Create a new more note, isn't it?

Why you don't just use:

Annotation note= new Annotation()

{

Subject = "Example Annotation",

FileName = "ExampleAnnotationAttachment.txt",

DocumentBody = Convert.ToBase64String(

new UnicodeEncoding().GetBytes("Sample Annotation Text")),

MimeType = "text/plain",

};

Or you can just like this:

Entity note= new Entity(“annotation”);

note["objectid"] = new EntityReference(destEntity.LogicalName, destEntity.Id);

note["objecttypecode"] = destEntity.LogicalName;

note["subject"] = entity["subject"];

note.["documentbody"] = entity["documentbody"];

note.["mimetype"] = entity["mimetype"];

note.["notetext"] = entity["notetext"];

note.["filename"] = entity["filename"];

Service.Create(note);

And make sure that the guid of your dest entity is correct.

Thank you.
