CRMContractTemplate.RetrieveByOrganization Method

The RetrieveByOrganization method retrieves all of the contract templates for the specified organization.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveByOrganization(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal ColumnSet As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveByOrganization(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  ColumnSet
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveByOrganization(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  ColumnSet
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvReadContractTemplate privilege and access rights on the objects to be retrieved. See CUserAuth.

ColumnSetXML

Specifies the XML string describing the set of columns to be retrieved. Passing an empty string or null returns all columns (Nothing or "" in VB .NET). You can find the valid column names in contracttemplate.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.

Return Value

Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the contract template information. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSetXML parameter. This XML string is in the format

<contracttemplates> + contracttemplate1..N + </contracttemplates>

where the XML schema for each contract template is described by contracttemplate.xsd.

Remarks

Unlike the Retrieve method, the XML string returned from this method may contain multiple objects. If no objects are returned the method simply returns an XML document for the object type with no data.

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}

Example

[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";

// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// CRMContractTemplate proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMContractTemplate contractTemplate = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMContractTemplate ();
contractTemplate.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
contractTemplate.Url = strDir + "CRMContractTemplate.srf";

string strErrorMsg;

try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>name</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>abbreviation</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";

   // Retrieve the contract templates
   string strResultXml = contractTemplate.RetrieveByOrganization (userAuth, strColumnSetXml);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
   // Process the platform error here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch (Exception err)
{
   // Process other errors here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message );
}
