如何通过 API 在 CRM Dynamics 中创建自定义实体本身

Question

有什么方法可以连接到 CRM 动态并创建自定义实体本身。在 API 中，我将传递创建自定义实体所需的实体名称、字段、数据类型等详细信息。

我想使用 C# 进行 API 调用。

是的。您需要使用元数据服务。

Sample: Create and update entity metadata.

CreateEntityRequest createrequest = new CreateEntityRequest
{

    //Define the entity
    Entity = new EntityMetadata
    {
        SchemaName = _customEntityName,
        DisplayName = new Label("Bank Account", 1033),
        DisplayCollectionName = new Label("Bank Accounts", 1033),
        Description = new Label("An entity to store information about customer bank accounts", 1033),
        OwnershipType = OwnershipTypes.UserOwned,
        IsActivity = false,

    },

    // Define the primary attribute for the entity
    PrimaryAttribute = new StringAttributeMetadata
    {
        SchemaName = "new_accountname",
        RequiredLevel = new AttributeRequiredLevelManagedProperty(AttributeRequiredLevel.None),
        MaxLength = 100,
        FormatName = StringFormatName.Text,
        DisplayName = new Label("Account Name", 1033),
        Description = new Label("The primary attribute for the Bank Account entity.", 1033)
    }

};
_serviceProxy.Execute(createrequest);
