ByVal Object As CObjectName
)
[C#]
public void SetAssociation(
CUserAuth Caller,
string OpportunityId,
CObjectName Object
);
[C++]
public: void SetAssociation(
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 the prvAppendToAccount, prvAppendToCompetitor or the prvAppendToContact privileges, as well as access rights on the objects to be modified. See CUserAuth.
OpportunityId

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);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
