Sample Code - CRM Using Organization Service Proxy

There are many ways to write code against CRM. One of the very easy ways is to use late-bound objects and use organization service proxy.

You first need to create a CRM organization proxy, then use late-bound entity object and set the attributes and then save it through the generated proxy.

With just a few lines in this sample code, you can create an "Account" in CRM 2011:

Sample code: Creating and Account

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Grab the organization service url by navigating to
            // Settings -> Customizations - > Developer Resources
            // The following is from online CRM org
            Uri oUri = new Uri("https://yourorg.api.crm5.dynamics.com/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc");
            //** Your client credentials 
            ClientCredentials clientCredentials = new ClientCredentials();
            clientCredentials.UserName.UserName = "YourAccount.onmicrosoft.com";
            clientCredentials.UserName.Password = "YourAdminPassword";

            //Create your Organization Service Proxy
            OrganizationServiceProxy _serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(
                oUri,
                null,
                clientCredentials,
                null);

            //** Now simple use Entity and create a sample account
            Entity entity = new Entity("account");
            entity.Attributes["name"] = "This is my sample account";

            //use the service proxy to create the entity object
            _serviceProxy.Create(entity);

            Console.WriteLine("Welldone SuperNova!");
            Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
