CRMNotesManager.UpdateAndRetrieve Method

The UpdateAndRetrieve method updates an existing note and then returns the XML data for the note.

Syntax

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

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have prvWriteNote and prvReadNote privileges and access rights on the object to be updated. See CUserAuth.

NoteId

Specifies the ID of the note to be updated.

InNoteXml

Specifies an XML string describing the note. The XML schema is described by annotation.xsd.

Return Value

Returns a String type that specifies the XML data for the note. The XML schema is described by annotation.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}

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";

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

string strErrorMsg;
string strNoteId = "{09CBE06F-40DB-4C9D-9CAF-9B7F27294793}";
try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Set up the XML string to update the note
   string strNotesManagerXml = "<annotation>";
   strNotesManagerXml += "<subject>An updated sample note</subject>";
   strNotesManagerXml += "<isdocument>0</isdocument>";
   strNotesManagerXml += "<ownerid type=\"" + Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.ObjectType.otSystemUser.ToString() +"\">";
   strNotesManagerXml += userAuth.UserId + "</ownerid>";
   strNotesManagerXml += "</annotation>";

   // Now update and then retrieve the note
   string strNoteXml = notesmanager.UpdateAndRetrieve(userAuth, strNoteId, strNotesManagerXml);
}
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 );
}
