Examples

The following example 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.

/// <summary>
/// Updates the display name of the specified table
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void UpdateTableExample(IOrganizationService service)
{

      string tableLogicalName = "account";
      string newLabelValue = "Company";
      int languageCode = 1033; //English
      string solutionUniqueName = "SolutionName";

      RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveRequest = new()
      {
         LogicalName = tableLogicalName
      };

      var retrieveResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(retrieveRequest);

      // Just changing the Display Name in this example
      retrieveResponse.EntityMetadata.DisplayName = new Label(newLabelValue, languageCode);

      UpdateEntityRequest request = new()
      {
         Entity = retrieveResponse.EntityMetadata,
         MergeLabels = true,
         SolutionUniqueName = solutionUniqueName,
         // These options can also be updated:
         //HasActivities = true,
         //HasNotes = true,
         //HasFeedback = true
      };

      service.Execute(request);
