Set ActivityParty for DynamicEntity

Hi,

To set activityparty property in case of DynamicEntity we need to make use DynamicEntityArrayProperty.

Below is the sample code for creating an appointment programmatically using DynamicEntity and setting requiredattendees which is an ActivityParty property.

CrmSdk.CrmAuthenticationToken myToken = new CrmAuthenticationToken();

        myToken.OrganizationName = "orgname";

        myToken.AuthenticationType = 0;

        CrmSdk.CrmService myService = new CrmService();

        myService.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = myToken;

        myService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

        DynamicEntity myAppointment = new DynamicEntity();

        myAppointment.Name = EntityName.appointment.ToString();

        StringProperty subject = new StringProperty();

        subject.Name = "subject";

        subject.Value = "Test Subject";

        // Set a contact for party

        DynamicEntity requiredAtt1 = new DynamicEntity();

        requiredAtt1.Name = "activityparty";

        // create a contact property

        LookupProperty contactProp = new LookupProperty();

        contactProp.Name = "partyid";

        Lookup contactLookup = new Lookup();

        contactLookup.type = "contact";

        contactLookup.Value = new Guid("{2DE7671B-987D-DE11-8AB8-0003FFD21C1C}");

        contactProp.Value = contactLookup;

        // add contact property

        requiredAtt1.Properties = new Property[] { contactProp };

        // Set an account for party

        DynamicEntity requiredAtt2 = new DynamicEntity();

        requiredAtt2.Name = "activityparty";

        // create an account property

        LookupProperty accountProp = new LookupProperty();

        accountProp.Name = "partyid";

        Lookup accountLookup = new Lookup();

        accountLookup.type = "contact";

        accountLookup.Value = new Guid("{A4BB3561-748D-DE11-8CD4-0003FFD21C1C}");

        accountProp.Value = accountLookup;

        // add account property

        requiredAtt2.Properties = new Property[] { accountProp };

        // create to property. it is an dynamic entity array

        DynamicEntityArrayProperty raProp= new DynamicEntityArrayProperty();

        raProp.Name = "requiredattendees";

        // add contact and account activity parties

        raProp.Value = new DynamicEntity[] { requiredAtt1, requiredAtt2 };

        // set scheduledStart date

        CrmDateTimeProperty scheduledStart = new CrmDateTimeProperty();

        scheduledStart.Name = "scheduledstart";

        CrmDateTime ss = new CrmDateTime();

        ss.Value = DateTime.Now.ToString();

        scheduledStart.Value = ss;

        // set scheduledend date

        CrmDateTimeProperty scheduledEnd = new CrmDateTimeProperty();

        scheduledEnd.Name = "scheduledend";

        CrmDateTime se = new CrmDateTime();

        se.Value = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1).ToString();

        scheduledEnd.Value = se;        

        myAppointment.Properties = new Property[] { subject,raProp, scheduledStart,scheduledEnd };

        Guid mycontactGuid = new Guid();

        try

        {

            mycontactGuid = myService.Create(myAppointment);

        }

        catch (SoapException ex)

        {

         //   handle exception

        }

Bye..
