Remarks
Message Availability
This message works regardless whether the caller is connected to the server or offline.
Usage
Pass an instance of this class to the Execute method, which returns an instance of the QueryExpressionToFetchXmlResponse class.
Privileges and Access Rights
For a complete list of the required privileges, see QueryExpressionToFetchXml message privileges.
Notes for Callers
Use of the keyword distinct in query expressions is different from the FetchXML query language. When you map a query from Fetch to QueryExpression, you receive inconsistent results if you use the Distinct keyword in the FetchXML string.
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. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.
