Example

The following code example shows how to use the Validate message.

[C#]
// Set up the CRM service.
CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
// You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
token.AuthenticationType = 0; 
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
 
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Create the request object.
ValidateRequest validate = new ValidateRequest();

// Set the properties of the request object.
validate.Activities = new BusinessEntityCollection();
validate.Activities.EntityName = EntityName.appointment.ToString();
validate.Activities.BusinessEntities = new BusinessEntity[1];
validate.Activities.BusinessEntities[0] = retrieved;
   
// Execute the request.
ValidateResponse validated = (ValidateResponse)service.Execute(validate);

[Visual Basic .NET]
' Set up the CRM service.
Dim token As New CrmAuthenticationToken()
' You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
token.AuthenticationType = 0
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
 
Dim service As New CrmService()
service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

' Create the request object.
Dim validate As New ValidateRequest()

' Set the properties of the request object.
validate.Activities = New BusinessEntityCollection()
validate.Activities.EntityName = EntityName.appointment.ToString()
validate.Activities.BusinessEntities = New BusinessEntity(0) {}
validate.Activities.BusinessEntities(0) = retrieved

' Execute the request.
Dim validated As ValidateResponse = CType(service.Execute(validate), ValidateResponse)
