CRMAccount.RetrieveSubOpportunities Method
The RetrieveSubOpportunities method retrieves the child opportunities of the specified account.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveSubOpportunities(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal AccountId As String,
ByVal ColumnSetXML As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveSubOpportunities(
CUserAuth Caller,
string AccountId,
string ColumnSetXML
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveSubOpportunities(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* AccountId,
String* ColumnSetXML
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvReadOpportunity privilege and access rights on the objects being retrieved. See CUserAuth.
AccountId
Specifies the ID of the account.
ColumnSetXML
Specifies an XML string describing the set of columns to be retrieved. Passing an empty string or null returns all columns (Nothing or "" in VB .NET). You can find the valid column names in opportunity.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the requested opportunities. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSetXML parameter. This XML string is in the format
<opportunities> + opportunity1..N + </opportunities>
where the XML schema for each opportunity is described by opportunity.xsd.
Remarks
Unlike the Retrieve method, the XML string returned from this method may contain multiple objects. If no objects are returned the method simply returns an XML document for the object type with no data.
The XML string returned from this method does not contain elements for fields where the value is null or contains empty strings. This improves performance by not sending more XML data than is necessary from the server to the client.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
Example
[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";
// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMAccount proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMAccount account = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMAccount ();
account.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
account.Url = strDir + "CRMAccount.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
string strAccountId = "{3E24E79C-7EC5-4473-95FF-7E46FEBB534B}";
try
{
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();
// Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>opportunityid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>name</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";
// Retrieve the opportunities
string strResultsXml = account.RetrieveSubOpportunities(userAuth, strAccountId, strColumnSetXml);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
// Process the platform error here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch (Exception err)
{
// Process other errors here
strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message );
}
