Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

/// <summary>
/// Demonstrates creating an alternate key for a table
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void CreateEntityKey(IOrganizationService service) {

      string prefix = "sample";
      string tableLogicalName = $"{prefix}_bankaccount";
      string columnLogicalName = $"{prefix}_name";
      string alternateKeySchemaName = $"{prefix}_UniqueName";
      string alternateKeyDisplayName = "Unique Name";
      int languagecode = 1033; //English
      string solutionUniqueName = "SolutionName";

      EntityKeyMetadata metadata = new() {
         KeyAttributes = new string[] { columnLogicalName },
         SchemaName = alternateKeySchemaName,
         DisplayName = new Label(alternateKeyDisplayName, languagecode)
      };

      CreateEntityKeyRequest request = new() { 
         EntityName = tableLogicalName,
         EntityKey = metadata,
         SolutionUniqueName = solutionUniqueName
      };

      var response = (CreateEntityKeyResponse)service.Execute(request);

      Console.WriteLine($"EntityKeyId: {response.EntityKeyId}");

}

Remarks

This message takes the entity name and EntityKeyMetadata values as input to create the key.
