SDK for .NET: Create, retrieve, update, and delete a recurring appointment sample code

How to run this sample

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you do not specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the dataverse/App.config file.

What this sample does

The IOrganizationService message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that provides programmatic access to the metadata and data for an organization.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

Checks for the current version of the org.

Demonstrate

  1. Define anonymous types to define the possible recurrence pattern values, possible values for days of the week and possible values for the recurrence rule pattern end type.
  2. The RecurringAppointmentMaster method creates a recurring appointment.
  3. The QueryExpression method retrieves the newly created recurring appointment.
  4. The Update method updates the subject, number of occurrences to 5, appointment interval to 2 for the retrieved recurring appointment.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the records created in the Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the tables and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
