CREATE DYNAMICS 365 ENTITY IN SDK
Published Monday, June 6, 2022
In this post, we will learn how to create a Dynamics 365 custom entity in SDK and how to set some of its properties.
- The below function can be used to create a custom entity
public void CreateEntity()
{
CreateEntityRequest createrequest = new CreateEntityRequest
{
Entity = new EntityMetadata
{
SchemaName = "cak_CustomEntity",
DisplayName = new Label("Custom Entity", 1033),
DisplayCollectionName = new Label("Custom Entities", 1033),
Description = new Label("Custom entity created using SDK", 1033),
OwnershipType = OwnershipTypes.UserOwned,
IsActivity = false,
IsBusinessProcessEnabled = true,
IsAuditEnabled = new BooleanManagedProperty(true),
IsSLAEnabled = false,
},
PrimaryAttribute = new StringAttributeMetadata
{
SchemaName = "cak_name",
RequiredLevel = new AttributeRequiredLevelManagedProperty(AttributeRequiredLevel.None),
MaxLength = 100,
FormatName = StringFormatName.Text,
DisplayName = new Label("Name", 1033),
Description = new Label("Primary attribute for the custom entity.", 1033)
},
HasActivities = true,
HasNotes = true,
SolutionUniqueName = "CAK",
};
try
{
var result = AdminService.Execute(createrequest);
if (result.Results != null)
Console.WriteLine("Custom Entity successfully created!");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error while creating the custom entity. \n\rError message: {e.Message}");
}
}
- Based on your needs, you can add or remove the properties you want to set for the entity you want to create or its primary field
- If you want to add the created entity to a specific unmanaged solution, you can set the solution name accordingly in the SolutionUniqueName property
Hope This Helps!
