Use Fetch Xml for query in Plug-in

Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:17:00 GMT

Fetch XML is a really handy way of retrieving data from CRM. It is easy to construct complex query and really simple to execute. In this blog article I will explain how you can execute fetch XML query in Dynamic CRM 2011 or CRM online. To start you will first need to download a fetch xml from advanced find and then use the RetrieveMultiple method of the CRM Service to execute the Fetch XML.

First go to Advanced d find and select the entity on which you need to make query

Following is the fetchxml retrieve from Advance Find:

String fetchXml = @"'1.0'?>


'false' mapping='logical' output-format='xml-platform' version='1.0'>

   'contact'>

          'telephone'/>

          'lastname'/> 'firstname'/>

                                  'contactid'/> 'false' attribute='telephone'/>                                 'and'>

                                     'vdbwc1_vip' value='1' operator='eq'/>

                  
  
 ";




All now that is left is to send a fetch request. This can simply be done by using the following code.




EntityCollection EC = _service.RetrieveMultiple(new FetchExpression(fetchXml));
 
if (EC != null && EC.Entities != null && EC.Entities.Count >= 1)
{
     foreach (Entity E in EC.Entities)
     {
         Guid entityId = E.Id;
     }
}





Above code shows how RetrieveMultiple method is used to retrieve EntityCollection from fetchxml. 

Hope this helps. Happy Coding !!
