In this Blog we will see how to use Create Operation in Dataverse

 

Copy and Paste the below Code for Create Operations

 

 

 

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Connection string to Dynamics 365
            string connectionString = "AuthType=Office365;Url=https://URL.crm8.dynamics.com/;Username=username@environment.onmicrosoft.com;RequireNewInstance=true;Password=PASSWORD;";

            // Create the CrmServiceClient instance using the connection string
            CrmServiceClient service = new CrmServiceClient(connectionString);

            // Check if the connection was successful
            if (!service.IsReady)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect to Dynamics 365.");
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                Entity createAccount = new Entity("account");
                createAccount["name"] = "Demo Account";
                createAccount["OPTION SET LOGICAL NAME"] = new OptionSetValue(10000);
                createAccount["ENTITY REFERENCE LOGICAL NAME"] = new EntityReference("Entity LogicalName", new Guie(GUID OF RECORD));
                service.Create(createAccount);
            }
        }

 

"account" --> Table Name

"name" --> Logical Name of field Name

OptionSetValue --> to set Drop Down Values

EntityReference --> LookUp Reference.

            // Check if the connection was successful
            if (!service.IsReady)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Failed to connect to Dynamics 365.");
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                Entity retrieveAccount = service.Retrieve("account", new Guid("e5c5f9b6-6b2f-ee11-bdf4-002248d5d764"),
                    new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet(true));

                string accountName = retrieveAccount.Attributes["name"].ToString();
                EntityReference AccountOwner = (EntityReference)retrieveAccount.Attributes["ownerid"];
            }
        }

 

In the above snippet you will see 

 

"account" --> Logical Name of the Table

"e5c5f9b6-6b2f-ee11-bdf4-002248d5d764" --> Guid of the Record

Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet(true) --> (true) to retrieve all the Records from the table

retrieveAccount.Attributes["name"].ToString() --> Retrieve Name of the Record from the Account Table

(EntityReference)retrieveAccount.Attributes["ownerid"] --> Retrieve Owner of the Record from the Account Table
