Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Lose(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal ActivityXML As String,
ByVal PartiesXML As String,
ByVal Status As Integer
)
[C#]
public void Lose(
CUserAuth Caller,
string ActivityXML,
string PartiesXML,
int Status
);
[C++]
public: void Lose(
CUserAuth* Caller,
String* ActivityXML,
String* PartiesXML,
long Status
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvWriteOpportunity privilege and access rights on the object to be modified. See CUserAuth.
ActivityXML
Specifies an XML string representing the activity. The XML schema is described by activity.xsd.
PartiesXML
Specifies an XML string representing the parties. The XML schema is described by activityparty.xsd.
Status
Specifies the status of the opportunity. You can use this parameter to specify application status. See Remarks.
Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
Note The Status parameter corresponds to Status Reason in the Microsoft CRM application. If you pass -1 for this parameter, the platform sets the status to the appropriate value for the Microsoft CRM application. You can use the RetrieveStatus method to retrieve the status codes used in the application.
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";
// CRMOpportunity proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMOpportunity opportunity = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMOpportunity();
opportunity.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

string strOpportunityId = "{32BF9CB0-DA58-4AAE-861B-CB499F44FC74}";
// Set up the XML string for the activity
string activityXML = "<activity>";

activityXML += "<objectid>" + strOpportunityId + "</objectid>";
activityXML += "<objecttypecode>" + Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.ObjectType.otOpportunity.ToString() + "</objecttypecode>";
activityXML += "<ownerid type=\"" + Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Types.ObjectType.otSystemUser.ToString() +"\">";
