Examples

The following examples shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

This SimpleRetrieveExample method focuses on processing the results returned when retrieving just the record.

Because null values are not returned with the record, you need to check whether the value exists using the Entity.Contains method or use the Entity.GetAttributeValue method to access the values.

Formatted values are available in the Entity.FormattedValues collection for EntityReferenceDateTimeMoney and OptionSetValue columns. Learn more about accessing formatted values

Output

If the record has data for all the requested columns, the output should look something like this:

ID: 78914942-34cb-ed11-b596-0022481d68cd
name: Litware, Inc. (sample)
accountcategorycode: Standard
address1_latitude: 47.77777
address1_longitude: -122.13684
creditonhold: True
lastonholdtime: 9/13/2023 11:13 PM
numberofemployees: 2000
primarycontactName: Susanna Stubberod (sample)
primarycontactid: 70bf4d48-34cb-ed11-b596-0022481d68cd
formattedRevenue: $2,000,000.00
revenue: 2000000.0000

When the record doesn't have data for all the requested columns, the output should look something like this:

ID: 560bb46c-2d71-ee11-9ae7-000d3a9933c9
name: Account record without data
accountcategorycode:
address1_latitude: 0
address1_longitude: 0
creditonhold: False
lastonholdtime:
numberofemployees: 0
primarycontactName:
primarycontactid:
formattedRevenue:
revenue:

The following RetrieveWithRelatedRecords method focuses on defining queries to retrieve related records using the RetrieveRequest.RelatedEntitiesQuery property. This method uses a RelationshipQueryCollection to include queries for related task and contact records.

In the response, you access the data using the Entity.RelatedEntities property using a Relationship as the indexer value.

        Console.WriteLine($"\tprimary contact email: {primaryContact.GetAttributeValue<string>("emailaddress1")}");
    }

    List<Entity> tasks = account
        .RelatedEntities[new Relationship("Account_Tasks")]
        .Entities
        .ToList();

    if(tasks.Count > 0)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\nTasks:");
        foreach (Entity task in tasks)
        {
            Console.WriteLine();
            Console.WriteLine($"\tID: {task.Id}");
            Console.WriteLine($"\ttask subject: {task.GetAttributeValue<string>("subject")}");
            Console.WriteLine($"\ttask description: {task.GetAttributeValue<string>("description")}");
        }
    }
}

Output:

If the account record you selected has related contact and task records with the specified relationships, the output will look something like this:

ID: 78914942-34cb-ed11-b596-0022481d68cd
name: Litware, Inc. (sample)

Primary Contact:
        primary contact ID: 70bf4d48-34cb-ed11-b596-0022481d68cd
        primary contact name: Susanna Stubberod (sample)
        primary contact email: someone_b@example.com

Tasks:

        ID: be9f6557-e2cc-ed11-b597-000d3a993550
        task subject: Task 1 for Litware
        task description: Description for Task 1 for Litware

        ID: 605dbd65-e2cc-ed11-b597-000d3a993550
        task subject: Task 2 for Litware
        task description: Description for Task 2 for Litware

        ID: a718856c-e2cc-ed11-b597-000d3a993550
        task subject: Task 3 for Litware
        task description: Description for Task 3 for Litware

If there are no related records, the output will look something like this:

ID: 560bb46c-2d71-ee11-9ae7-000d3a9933c9
name: Account with no related records
