如何向 MS CRM 添加新实体

Question

我想在 crm 中创建一个新实体

    OrganizationService_orgService ;
    var connection = CrmConnection.Parse(conn);
    _orgService = new OrganizationService(connection);

    Entity newEntity = new Entity("this_is_a_new_entity");
    Guid newEntityID = _orgService.Create(newEntity); 

我写了上面的代码，其中conn是格式正确的连接字符串（我检查过）

  string conn = "Url=https://damnidiot.crm5.dynamics.com; Username=XXXXXXXX@damnidiot.onmicrosoft.com; Password=XXXXXXXXX;";

但是当我运行代码时出现异常{"The entity with a name = 'this_is_a_new_entity' was not found in the MetadataCache."}

我假设我收到此错误是因为我的 crm 没有实体 this_is_a_new_entity 的定义。

是否可以检索和更新我的 MS CRM 的元数据缓存？（我正在使用 Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013）

Answer 1

如果你使用new Entity("new_entity_name")，你是在告诉代码你想在名为new_entity_name的已经存在的实体中创建一个新的记录。

要完全创建一个新实体，您必须发出CreateEntityRequest (link to MSDN)

// PART OF THE LINKED SAMPLE
CreateEntityRequest createrequest = new CreateEntityRequest
{
    //Define the entity
    Entity = new EntityMetadata
    {
        SchemaName = _customEntityName,
        DisplayName = new Label("Bank Account", 1033),
        DisplayCollectionName = new Label("Bank Accounts", 1033),
        Description = new Label("An entity to store information about customer bank accounts", 1033),
        OwnershipType = OwnershipTypes.UserOwned,
        IsActivity = false,

    },

    // Define the primary attribute for the entity
    PrimaryAttribute = new StringAttributeMetadata
    {
        SchemaName = "new_accountname",
        RequiredLevel = new AttributeRequiredLevelManagedProperty(AttributeRequiredLevel.None),
        MaxLength = 100,
        Format = StringFormat.Text,
        DisplayName = new Label("Account Name", 1033),
        Description = new Label("The primary attribute for the Bank Account entity.", 1033)
    }

};

要创建新实体，您应该使用Create Entity Request。您的代码创建了 this_is_a_new_entity 的记录。
