CRMNewsArticle.CreateAndRetrieve Method
The CreateAndRetrieve method creates a news article and then retrieves it.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function CreateAndRetrieve(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal InArticleXML As String
) As String
[C#]
public string CreateAndRetrieve(
CUserAuth Caller,
string InArticleXML
);
[C++]
public: String* CreateAndRetrieve(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* InArticleXML
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvCreateNewsArticle and prvReadNewsArticle privileges. See CUserAuth.
InArticleXML
Specifies an XML string representing a news article. The XML schema is described by businessunitnewsarticle.xsd.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data representing the newly created news article. The XML schema is described by businessunitnewsarticle.xsd.
Remarks
The XML string returned from this method does not contain elements for fields where the value is null or contains empty strings. This improves performance by not sending more XML data than is necessary from the server to the client.
If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.
All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}
