CRMSalesLiteratureItem.UpdateAndRetrieve Method

The UpdateAndRetrieve method updates a sales literature item and then retrieves it.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function UpdateAndRetrieve(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal EntityId As String,
  ByVal EntityXml As String,
  ByVal ColumnSet As String
) As String
[C#]
public string UpdateAndRetrieve(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  EntityId,
  string  EntityXml,
  string  ColumnSet
);
[C++]
public: String* UpdateAndRetrieve(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  EntityId,
  String*  EntityXml,
  String*  ColumnSet
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvWriteSalesLiterature and prvReadSalesLiterature privileges and access rights on the object to be updated. See CUserAuth.

EntityId

Specifies the ID of the sales literature item to be updated.

EntityXml

Specifies an XML string describing the sales literature item. The XML schema is described by salesliteratureitem.xsd.

ColumnSet

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 salesliteratureitem.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.

Return Value

Returns a String type that specifies the XML data representing the sales literature item. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSet parameter. The XML schema is described by salesliteratureitem.xsd.

Remarks

This method always returns a single object so any filter criteria specified in the ColumnSet parameter are ignored.

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";

// CRMSalesLiteratureItem proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMSalesLiteratureItem salesliteratureitem = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMSalesLiteratureItem();
salesliteratureitem.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
salesliteratureitem.Url = strDir + "CRMSalesLiteratureItem.srf";

string strErrorMsg;

try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   string strSalesLiteratureId = "{706D1D72-CF08-40CD-8059-CC0DF6377A19}";
   string strSalesLiteratureItemId = "{CD079251-CD0E-4154-B0D6-8062D2C98C1D}";

   // Set up the XML string for the sales literature item
   string strSalesLiteratureItemXml = "<salesliteratureitem>";
   strSalesLiteratureItemXml += "<salesliteratureid>" + strSalesLiteratureId + "</salesliteratureid>";
   strSalesLiteratureItemXml += "<title>salesforce1</title>";
   strSalesLiteratureItemXml += "<authorname>Michael Blythe</authorname>";
   strSalesLiteratureItemXml += "<keywords>keys123455</keywords>";
   strSalesLiteratureItemXml += "</salesliteratureitem>";

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>title</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";

   // Now update and then retrieve the item
   string strResultsXml = salesliteratureitem.UpdateAndRetrieve(userAuth, strSalesLiteratureItemId, strSalesLiteratureItemXml, 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 );
}
