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.

Remarks

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute(OrganizationRequest) method, which returns an instance of the RetrieveMultipleResponse class.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have read privileges on the specified entities in the Query property and read access rights on the records that are returned from the query.

Notes for Callers

This message supports queries that use the QueryExpression, FetchExpression, or QueryByAttribute classes.

For more information, see Query data using the SDK for .NET

It is generally preferred to use the RetrieveMultiple(QueryBase) method. You must use the RetrieveMultipleRequest class if you use optional parameters, but optional parameters have few use cases when retrieving data.

The collection of returned records from this message contains only the records for which the caller has read access. The returned records contain values for specified properties in the query that are valid for retrieval and for which the calling user has access rights. Any other property values are not returned. For more information about column security, see Column-level security to control access.

Supported Tables

See Message support for tables for an example query you can use to get the list of tables you can use with the RetrieveMultiple message.

Constructors
