Examples

The following code snippets from Sample: Query metadata and detect changes show the use of RetrieveMetadataChangesResponseDeletedMetadata and EntityMetadata properties.

  removeOptionLabelsFromCache(updateResponse.DeletedMetadata, true);

 }
 catch (FaultException<Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault> ex)

  // Check for ErrorCodes.ExpiredVersionStamp (0x80044352)
  // Will occur when the timestamp exceeds the Organization.ExpireSubscriptionsInDays value, which is 90 by default.
