Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

This example demonstrates using alternate keys while using Upsert. In this case, the sample_bankaccount table has the sample_accountname column configured as an alternate key, so the value for that column is used to uniquely identify the record instead of the primary key value. The sample_description is the only value in the Entity.Attributes collection.

/// <summary>
/// Demonstrates an upsert operation using alternate keys
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">The authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void UpsertExample(IOrganizationService service)
{
      string tableLogicalName = "sample_bankaccount";
      string keyName = "sample_accountname";

      UpsertRequest request = new()
      {

         Target = new Entity(
                  entityName: tableLogicalName,
                  keyName: keyName,
                  keyValue: "Sample One")
         {
            Attributes =
            {
                  {
                     "sample_description",
                     "A description for the record."
                  }
               }
         }
      };

      var response = (UpsertResponse)service.Execute(request);

      Console.WriteLine($"RecordCreated? {response.RecordCreated}");
      Console.WriteLine($"Record ID: {response.Target.Id}");

      // Retrieve the record alternate key value
      Entity record = service.Retrieve(
         entityName: response.Target.LogicalName,
         id:response.Target.Id,
         columnSet: new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet(keyName));

      Console.WriteLine($"Key name: {record[keyName]}");
}

When no record already exists with the key value of Sample One, the first time you use this method the output will look like the following becaues a record is created:

RecordCreated? True
Record ID: 8e7695e0-347c-ee11-8179-000d3a9933c9
Key name: Sample One

Notice that the sample_accountname value "Sample One"> was set even though it is not in the Entity.Attributes collection. You shouldn't include key values in the Attributes collection. They will be included when a record is created.

Run the method again, and the output look like the following becaues the record is Updated:

RecordCreated? False
Record ID: 8e7695e0-347c-ee11-8179-000d3a9933c9
Key name: Sample One
