CRMAccount.Activate Method
The Activate method sets the state of an account to Active.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Activate(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal AccountId As String,
ByVal Status As Integer
)
[C#]
public void Activate(
CUserAuth Caller,
string AccountId,
int Status
);
[C++]
public: void Activate(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* AccountId,
long Status
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvWriteAccount privilege and access rights on the object to be activated. See CUserAuth.
AccountId
Specifies the ID of the account to be activated.
Status
Specifies the status of the account. You can use this parameter to specify application status. See Remarks.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
Note The Status parameter corresponds to Status Reason in the Microsoft CRM application. If you pass -1 for this parameter, the platform sets the status to the appropriate value for the Microsoft CRM application. You can use the RetrieveStatus method to retrieve the status codes used in the application.
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}
