How to close live work items or deactivate queue items

You can use the following sample code in your Console App (.NET framework) of Visual Studio to trigger the closure of live work items by deactivating the associated queue item.

For information about how you can modify the sample code to suit your environment, go to Quickstart: Organization service sample (C#).

 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
     // e.g. https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com
     string url = "<your environment url>";
     // e.g. you@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com
     string userName = "<your user name>";
     // e.g. y0urp455w0rd 
     string password = "<your password>";
 
     string conn = $@"
     Url = {url};
     AuthType = OAuth;
     UserName = {userName};
     Password = {password};
     AppId = 51f81489-12ee-4a9e-aaae-a2591f45987d;
     RedirectUri = app://58145B91-0C36-4500-8554-080854F2AC97;
     LoginPrompt=Auto;
     RequireNewInstance = True";

     using (var svc = new CrmServiceClient(conn))
     {

         WhoAmIRequest request = new WhoAmIRequest();
 
         WhoAmIResponse response = (WhoAmIResponse)svc.Execute(request);
 
         Console.WriteLine("Your UserId is {0}", response.UserId);
 
         try
         {
             //Provide queueitem id as the second parameter which has to be deactivated.
             svc.UpdateStateAndStatusForEntity("queueitem", new Guid("6f15a7f0-8788-eb11-a812-000d3a593524"), 1, 2);
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
             Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
         }

         Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
         Console.ReadLine();
     }
 }
