How to add a value to the search field?

Question

I have an entitiy account in which she has some field_name in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. In addition to the search field, all other field values ​​can be inserted. How to select an existing value in a search?

I used the following code to add a value to the search box. However, I am not getting any errors.

Account acc = new Account();
acc.Attributes["name"] = "Ram"; // this values got inserted
acc.Attributes["age"] = "22"; // this values got inserted
acc.Attributes["lookupfieldid"] = "Sampletext";

service.Create(acc); // to create account

How can I change my code to select the "primary" value in the search field?

Answer 1

Search fields in CRM 2011 EntityReference, this means that you need to know the LogicalNameobject that the search points to and the Idrecords.

so your code will be as follows:

Account acc = new Account();
acc.Attributes["name"] = "Ram"; // this values got inserted
acc.Attributes["age"] = "22"; // this values got inserted

acc.Attributes["lookupfieldid"] = new EntityReference("contact", contactId); // if lookupfieldid is pointing to contact entity

service.Create(acc); // to create account

One consideration: you wrote

Account acc = new Account();

, ( , crmsvcutil.exe) ( Entity acc = new Entity("account");)

, :

Account acc = new Account();
acc.Name = "Ram"; // this values got inserted
acc.Age = "22"; // this values got inserted
acc.LookupFieldId = new EntityReference("contact", contactId); // if lookupfieldid is pointing to contact entity
service.Create(acc); // to create account

Answer 2

, , (, new_accounttype) (new_name), "", "" "". Lookupfieldid - , new_accounttype. , , "", , new_name = "Primary".

//Retrieve "Primary" account type
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression("new_accounttype");
query.Criteria.AddCondition("new_name", ConditionOperator.Equal, "Primary");
Entity accountType = service.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities.First();

//Set the lookup as Guido described above
Account acc = new Account();
acc.Attributes["name"] = "Ram";
acc.Attributes["age"] = "22";
acc.Attributes["lookupfieldid"] = new EntityReference("new_accounttype", accountType.Id);
service.Create(acc);

Answer 3

EntityReference entref = (EntityReference)item.Attributes[attributeName];

var LookupId = entref.Id;

var logicalName = entref.LogicalName;

newAccount[attributeName] = new EntityReference(logicalName, LookupId);
