CRMDiscountType.CreateAndRetrieve Method
The CreateAndRetrieve method creates a discount type and then retrieves it.
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function CreateAndRetrieve(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal InDiscountTypeXml As String
) As String
[C#]
public string CreateAndRetrieve(
CUserAuth Caller,
string InDiscountTypeXml
);
[C++]
public: String* CreateAndRetrieve(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* InDiscountTypeXml
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvCreateProduct and prvReadProduct privileges. See CUserAuth.
InDiscountTypeXml
Specifies the XML string representing a discount type. The XML schema is described by discounttype.xsd.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data representing the new discount type. The XML schema is described by discounttype.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}

[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";
// CRMDiscountType proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMDiscountType discounttype = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMDiscountType();
discounttype.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
discounttype.Url = strDir + "CRMDiscounttype.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
try

string xml = "<discounttype>";
