I am using CRM version 9.0 and I want to delete all records with same ID in CRM through C#.
I want to achieve something like this (I am giving a SQL Query example just for reference purpose)
Delete from entityName where id = @id
Currently, I am creating records in CRM through my C# code using below
dictionary.Add("code", new CrmDataTypeWrapper(code, CrmFieldType.Raw));
dictionary.Add("id", new CrmDataTypeWrapper(id, CrmFieldType.Raw));
Guid EvntId = _client.CrmInterface.CreateNewRecord("entityname", dictionary, "", false, new System.Guid());
Now I want to write a code block before this logic which will delete all the records if they exist of the passed ID.
In order to delete an Entity in CRM - you must first fetch the entity to get the GUID
of the entity.
IOrganizationService
interface contains a Delete
method which required the entity type ( LogicalName
) and the GUID of the entity that CRM creates.
Here's how we do it.
QueryExpression oppQuery = new QueryExpression("opportunity");
oppQuery.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "opportunityid" });
oppQuery.Criteria.AddCondition(new ConditionExpression("parentcontactid", ConditionOperator.Equal, contact.Id));
EntityCollection opportunities = crmSvc.RetrieveMultiple(oppQuery);
foreach (var opportunity in opportunities.Entities)
{
service.Delete("opportunity", opportunity.Id);
}
This means that you can delete entities based on your condition by fetching the entities you need first based on your condition.
oppQuery.Criteria.AddCondition(new ConditionExpression("<your id field>", ConditionOperator.Equal, <your id>));
On this line you specify the condition used to delete the relevant entities.
If you are not sure whether or not those ids exist in Dynamics, you should try-catch your Delete attempt, because if you try to delete a record that does not exist in Dynamics, Dynamics will throw you a FaultException
.
var ids = new Collection<Guid>();
foreach (var id in ids)
{
try
{
_service.Delete("[entityName]", id);
}
catch (FaultException)
{
continue;
}
}
To compliment Adriani6 answer:
I think you are trying to delete a set of records which are having particular field value. But that field is named as id
which is not a primary key.
There is no equivalent of the below SQL query in Dynamics CRM.
Delete from entityName where id = @id
You have to fetch all the entity records matching this condition of non-primary key using service.RetrieveMultiple
and then iterate through the result set for each record to issue service.Delete
request with primary key.
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression("entityName");
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "eventId", "code"});
query.Criteria.AddCondition(new ConditionExpression("id", ConditionOperator.Equal, id));
EntityCollection events = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
foreach (var event in events.Entities)
{
service.Delete("entityName", event.Id);
}
