CRMOpportunity.RemoveAssociation Method

The RemoveAssociation method removes the association between an object (account, competitor, or contact) and an opportunity.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub RemoveAssociation(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal OpportunityId As String,
  ByVal Object As CObjectName
)
[C#]
public void RemoveAssociation(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  OpportunityId,
  CObjectName  Object
);
[C++]
public: void RemoveAssociation(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  OpportunityId,
  CObjectName*  Object
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvAppendOpportunity and either prvAppendToAccount or prvAppendToContact privileges plus access rights on the objects being modified. See CUserAuth.

OpportunityId

Specifies the ID of the opportunity.

Object

Specifies the object (account, contact or lead) to be disassociated from the opportunity. See CObjectName.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

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";

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

string strErrorMsg;
string strOpportunityId= "{3BDFF384-0E6B-42F8-924E-61A40514E6F6}";
string strAccountId = "{3E24E79C-7EC5-4473-95FF-7E46FEBB534B}";
try
{
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Create an object name
   Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName();
   objName.Id = strAccountId;
   objName.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.ObjectType.otAccount;

   // Set the association with the account object
   opportunity.SetAssociation(userAuth, strOpportunityId, objName);

   // Now remove the association between the opportunity and the account
   opportunity.RemoveAssociation(userAuth, strOpportunityId, objName);
}
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 );
}
