) As String
[C#]
public string Create(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  DiscountXml
);
[C++]
public: String* Create(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  DiscountXml
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvCreateProduct privilege. See CUserAuth.

Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
