Hi!
I´m having some trouble trying to log in CRM On Demand.
I´ve translated your code to VB.Net and I´m trying to login with the same credentials I use on the CRM On Demand website, but I only get “The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.” error message.
Since my tests with other URLs return different error messages, I´m assuming that internet connection and proxy settings are OK.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is it possible to query any CRM entity doing the comparison among its attributes? For Example I would normally query like this:
Obj_OppQueryPage_Input.ListOfOpportunity[0].ModifiedDate = “”;
Empty means “Give me everything without filtering on Modifed Date”
OR
Obj_OppQueryPage_Input.ListOfOpportunity[0].ModifiedDate = “01/01/2010”;
“Give me everything matching specified modified date”
Can I specify extraction filter doing the comparison among different fields of CRM? For example “Give me everything where Date1 is greater than Date2”? where Date1 and Date2 are available in WSDL file.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi
I am new in CRMOD, trying to retrieve data from CRM OD. We have lot of new fields defined in CRM, I need to retrieve that. I have downloaded the wsdl file which have that fields. How can new fields be retrieved. I don’t see the new fields in the Opportunity class properties. For example if I write the following code it should also list the new fields created in CRM OD.
OpportunityInsert_Input oi = new OpportunityInsert_Input();
oi.ListOfOpportunity.Opportunity[0].
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I want to know whether proxy authentication is mandatory for establishing connection with CRM OD Webservice or i am doing something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Vinod,
Put your all code related to accessing CRM OD Webservices in a Class Library or DAL then add this as reference in WEB.UI folder or Winforms project then you will be
able to deploy on clients machine without having proxy. Otherwise its mandatory.

Hello Nishant,
I am new to CRM and I am learning stuff as I come across. I have been searching on the internet for some help on Web services and I am glad to dind this blog which is very helpful. I can make a start by referencing your code here to retrieve opportunties from CRM ON demand but my question is how do I transfer /FTP the queried data to another server. For Ex I have a requirement to pull all the opportunties with sales stage = ‘Closed/Won” and send it to a server on Accounting department. Any guidance in this regard is appreciated.
