如何格式化Dynamics 365 C＃插件的LINQ查询

Question

I am looking to create ac# plugin that runs when a field is updated. I am a little confused on how to format a LINQ query to interact with dynamics

I have a Dynamics entity called bname_jobs which I need to query.

looking at some code currently sitting within the business the LINQ starts off with

var processlineitems = from processLineItem in xrm.bname_processlineitemSet

My question is how do I find out the names of the entity I want to query in the above format

I need to fill in the x's in the below code

var jobs = from xxxx in xrm.bname_xxxxxxxx

Answer 1

To query a Dynamics 365 Entity ther are various ways.

1. Query Expression
2. Fetchxml Expression

When writing code in c# in most of the case, I have seen developers go with query expression.

Few examples with query expression and d365

Example 2

Now how to find Entity name, in your context you are looking for entity schema name.

Go to CRM (UI)--> Advanced Settings--> Settings-->Customization-->Cutomize the system( It will open default solution)--> Entites on left hand side--> select your entity.

Images below will show you how to direct

In this case my Entity display name is "Case" but it's schema name is "incident".

This is what you need to query in your querexpression or fetchxml
