I'm integrating CIM into an MVC3 app. I've added a service reference using the development url and coded the following:
public long x()
{
var u = this.User.Identity as IClaimsIdentity;
var id = u.Claims.First(x => x.ClaimType == ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
AuthorizeNet.CustomerProfileType cust = new AuthorizeNet.CustomerProfileType();
cust.merchantCustomerId = id.Value;
AuthorizeNet.MerchantAuthenticationType merch = new AuthorizeNet.MerchantAuthenticationType();
merch.name = "8aFRk4663XMd";
merch.transactionKey = "4MS675e62fQEdUXN";
AuthorizeNet.ServiceSoap svc = new AuthorizeNet.ServiceSoap();
AuthorizeNet.CreateCustomerProfileResponseType response = svc.CreateCustomerProfile(
merch, cust, AuthorizeNet.ValidationModeEnum.none
);
return response.customerProfileId;
}
but, of course, it doesn't work because one cannot instantiate an interface like that (.ServiceSoap is an interface). The sample code makes a reference to a .Service - but that doesn't exist AFAICT.
so how is this supposed to work?
TIA - e!
p.s. I did find an old posting with precisely my problem, but alas, no solution
well... at least for now the answer seems to be: don't generate a Service Reference but a Web Reference (you can do it by clicking on the Advanced button of the Service Reference dialogue).
so eeky.

I am in the process of moving my app code from the .Net5 MVC/JQuery ASPNETZERO template to the new .Net core 1.1 MVC/JQuery template.
So far I have copied over my first few custom entities. Created a EF migration and applied the changes to my DB.
I then started building the first app service for one of my entities. I am copying over the code from my existing MVC template that is working without any issues.
public async Task<PagedResultDto<ListValuesListDto>> GetListValues(GetListValuesInput input)
{
var query = from lv in _listvaluesRepository2.GetAll()
select new ListValuesListDto
{
Id = lv.Id,
ListName = lv.ListName,
ListText = lv.ListText
};
query = query.WhereIf(!input.Filter.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(), lv => lv.ListName.Contains(input.Filter) || lv.ListText.Contains(input.Filter));
var resultCount = await query.CountAsync();
var results = await query.OrderBy(input.Sorting).PageBy(input).ToListAsync();
return new PagedResultDto<ListValuesListDto>(resultCount, results);
}
The method above is from my MVC template. When I place this into the .Net core solution, I keep getting the following build error.
CS0411 The type arguments for method 'Enumerable.OrderBy(IEnumerable, Func)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly
The error is pointing to the "OrderBy" on this line of code:
var results = await query.OrderBy(input.Sorting).PageBy(input).ToListAsync();
I am still very much learning the ABP template and EF. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the same code in the .Net core template does not work?
Any help that anyone can provide would be much appreciated!
I just solved my own issue. I had to add the using statement for System.Linq.Dynamic.Core
Hope it helps someone else! :-)
I notice the the CRM moderator David Jennaway on the technet forum states that you can't use LINQ to update/Create records in CRM 2011 see here http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/crmdevelopment/thread/682a7be2-1c07-497e-8f58-cea55c298062
But I have seen a few threads that make it seem as if it should work. Here is my attempt which doesn't work. Any ideas why not?
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
OrganizationServiceContext orgContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(service);
EntityState state = new EntityState();
state = EntityState.Changed;
var counter = from c in orgContext.CreateQuery<pcx_entitycounter>()
where c.pcx_name.Contains("pcx_candidate")
select new pcx_entitycounter
{Id = c.Id,
pcx_name = c.pcx_name, pcx_Sequence = c.pcx_Sequence, pcx_Prefix = c.pcx_Prefix
};
foreach (var c in counter)
{
string prefix = c.pcx_Prefix.ToString(); ;
string sequence = c.pcx_Sequence.ToString();
c.pcx_Sequence = c.pcx_Sequence + 1;
c.EntityState = state;
**service.Update(c);** //FAILS HERE
}
In my experience, it's been difficult-to-impossible to retrieve an entity from the Context, update it, then use the Service to save the changes. It has caused me headaches figuring it out!
Since your retrieval code uses a query from the Context, all of those entities should be attached to the Context and their states are being tracked. Thus you need to use the Context's method for updating:
foreach (var c in counter) {
string prefix = c.pcx_Prefix.ToString(); ;
string sequence = c.pcx_Sequence.ToString();
c.pcx_Sequence = c.pcx_Sequence + 1;
// Use the Context to save changes
orgContext.UpdateObject(c);
orgContext.SaveChanges();
}
Since a lot of my code will retrieve entities in different ways (i.e. Service or Context) depending on the situation, I have developed a simple method that knows how to update the entity correctly. To expand on your example, you might have an update method that looks like:
public void UpdatePcxEntityCounter(pcx_entitycounter c) {
if (!orgContext.IsAttached(c)) {
service.Update(c);
}
else {
orgContext.UpdateObject(c);
orgContext.SaveChanges();
}
}
This assumes both orgContext and service are available at a scope above that of the method. Otherwise, they'd have to be passed as additional parameters.
Without seeing the difficult its difficult to discern what the issue is but have you tried using orgContext.UpdateObject(c); before doing the update step? Also, not sure why you are assigning the prefix and sequence to local variables within your loop since they don't appear to be being used. Its possible that you are getting a SOAP Exception or something for assigning values that don't work. Do you have any plugins registered on the entity?

I've been trying to do this all morning. Anyone have a code snippet (C#) showing how to update an "activity" within CRM via the webservice?
I can CreateReadUpdateDelete with entities, but I'm not sure how to do it with Activities.
Can't find anything on google either...
What are you specifically looking to update? Basically, updating an activity is just like updating any other entity, you just have to use the task entity.
public void CloseTask(CrmService crmsvc, Guid activityid, DateTime start, DateTime end)
{
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet();
cols.Attributes = new string[] { "activityid", "statecode" };
task tsk = (task)crmsvc.Retrieve(EntityName.task.ToString(), activityid, cols);
if(tsk.statecode.Value != TaskState.Open)
return;
tsk.actualstart = new CRMDateTime();
tsk.actualstart.value = start.ToString();
tsk.actualend = new CRMDateTime();
tsk.actualend.value = end.ToString();
crmsvc.Update(tsk);
SetStateTaskRequest state = new SetStateTaskRequest();
state.EntityId = activityid;
state.TaskState = TaskState.Completed;
state.TaskStatus = -1; // Let MS CRM decide this property;
SetStateTaskResponse stateSet = (SetStateTaskResponse)crmsvc.Execute(state);
}
Edit: added some sample code. note, I had to modify what I had to strip some proprietary code, so I don't know if this will actually compile. It's close though.
We can also update a Custom Workflow Activity Using Assembly Versioning. Below link gives more information:

What is the alternative for DomainProjectPicker if I want to select a server plus its projects? I am aware of a new class called TeamProjectPicker, but that doesn't help me. Anyone know how to select the server from this type of dialog?
Thanks,TS.
As far as I can figure it out it's more or less the same as the DomainProjectPicker.
Here's a code sample of how I was working with it:
if (tpp.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
try
{
//here you get the TfsTeamProjectCollection (the TeamFoundationServer class is also obsolete)
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfsProj = tpp.SelectedTeamProjectCollection;
//here you authenticate
tfsProj.Authenticate();
}
etc...
You can use the TeamProjectPicker class from Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll. There is a great blog post that describes how to wrangle the dialog: Using the TeamProjectPicker API in TFS 2010
Here's the code sample for selecting multiple team projects:
Application.EnableVisualStyles(); // Makes it look nicer from a console app.
//"using" pattern is recommended as the picker needs to be disposed of
using (TeamProjectPicker tpp = new TeamProjectPicker(TeamProjectPickerMode.MultiProject, false))
{
DialogResult result = tpp.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Selected Team Project Collection Uri: " + tpp.SelectedTeamProjectCollection.Uri);
System.Console.WriteLine("Selected Projects:");
foreach(ProjectInfo projectInfo in tpp.SelectedProjects)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(projectInfo.Name);
}
}
}
If you don't care about the project and only want the user to be able to select a server and collection, use TeamProjectPickerMode.NoProject in the constructor.
I am trying to create a new contact using Dynamic Entity. The sample i found in CRM SDK had this code.
// Set the properties of the contact using property objects.
StringProperty firstname = new StringProperty();
firstname.Name = "firstname";
firstname.Value = "Jesper";
StringProperty lastname = new StringProperty();
lastname.Name = "lastname";
lastname.Value = "Aaberg";
// Create the DynamicEntity object.
DynamicEntity contactEntity = new DynamicEntity();
// Set the name of the entity type.
contactEntity.Name = EntityName.contact.ToString();
// Set the properties of the contact.
contactEntity.Properties = new Property[] {firstname, lastname};
In my code i have the following implementation.
StringProperty sp_Field1 = new StringProperty("Field1","Value1");
StringProperty sp_Field2 = new StringProperty("Field2","Value1");
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Create the DynamicEntity object.
DynamicEntity contactEntity = new DynamicEntity();
// Set the name of the entity type.
contactEntity.Name = EntityName.contact.ToString();
// Set the properties of the contact.
contactEntity.Properties = new Property[] {sp_Field1,sp_Field2};
I don't see much differences in the code. In the examples i found in the internet i have the same implementation as i found in SDK. But if i run the same i get the following error
CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.StringProperty' to 'Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.PropertyCollection'
I tried created a new variable of type PropertyCollection(one that belongs in mscrm namespace) and added the stringpropertys into that and passed it to the entity.
Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.PropertyCollection propTest = new Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.PropertyCollection();
propTest.Add(sp_SSNNo);
propTest.Add(sp_FirstName);
contactEntity.Properties = new Property[] {propTest};
This gave me the following error
CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.PropertyCollection' to 'Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Property'
I am sure its a minor typecasting error but i am not able to figure out where the error is. And moreover, even if it was a typecasting error why is it working for all the samples given in the internet and not for me. I tried getting the code sample to run but i am encountering the same conversion error. Please let me know if you need more info on this, any help on this would be appreciated.
Here is an article from Microsoft that makes an attempt to discuss this topic:
http://community.dynamics.com/blogs/cscrmblog/archive/2008/06/23/web-services-amp-dlls-or-what-s-up-with-all-the-duplicate-classes.aspx
This is not a bug that you are running into but more of a difference in design between the way the two assemblies work and what they are designed to do.
If you want to continue to use the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.dll you should be able to accomplish your goal with the following...
StringProperty sp_Field1 = new StringProperty("Field1","Value1");
StringProperty sp_Field2 = new StringProperty("Field2","Value1");
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Create the DynamicEntity object.
DynamicEntity contactEntity = new DynamicEntity();
// Set the name of the entity type.
contactEntity.Name = EntityName.contact.ToString();
// Set the properties of the contact.
PropertyCollection properties = new PropertyCollection();
properties.Add(sp_Field1);
contactEntity.Properties = properties;
Thanks SaaS Developer, that code is working fine now. One more way of doing it would be to directly add the StringProperty to the entity property collection.
contactEntity.Properties.Add(sp_SSNNo);
Thanks again for replying :)
I believe the issue is that you are referencing the dynamic entity class in the Microsoft.Crm.Sdk assembly. The sample in the SDK is using a reference to the CRM web service. This can get confusing as both assemblies contain many of the same types, however they are different.
