Sample: Create a reciprocal connection role (early bound)
Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises). Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. This sample code can be found in the following location in the download package:
SampleCode\CS\BusinessDataModel\BusinessManagement\CreateReciprocalConnectionRole.cs
Requirements
For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to create the reciprocal connection roles. It creates a connection role for an account and a connection role for a contact, and then makes them reciprocal by associating them with each other.
