I have the following custom entities which has these attributes (truncated to only display the relevant attributes).
-----------------------------------
contactrelationship entity
- contactid (datatype is of the built-in contact entity)
- relationshipid (datatype is of custom relationship entity)
- organizationid (datatype is of built-in account entity)
relationship entity (works like a list of values. like values for populating a dropdown list. nothing special)
- relationshipid (guid datatype which is the primary key)
- description (sample values would be "staff" or "customer" or "visitor" and etc)
--------------------------------
What I want is:
- to get a single "staff" record in the relationship entity (something likeselect * from relationship where description like 'staff%')
- to get a single record from the account entity (something like select * from account where name like '%Transport%')
- to get all the record from the contact entity (I am using RetrieveMultiple function for this)
- and then save a new entry in the contactrelationship entity.
I know there's a Retrieve function in CrmService but I don't think it can do what I want (see sample SQL above).
Can you please help? Thanks very much in advance. :)
ps. I'm new to Microsoft Dynamics so my terminology may be incorrect. I am trying though! :)
