Example

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic. . This sample creates the entity relationship between the Account and Contact entities by using CreateManyToManyRequest.


bool accountEligibleParticipate =
    EligibleCreateManyToManyRelationship("account");
bool campaignEligibleParticipate =
    EligibleCreateManyToManyRelationship("campaign");

if (accountEligibleParticipate && campaignEligibleParticipate)
{

    CreateManyToManyRequest createManyToManyRelationshipRequest =
        new CreateManyToManyRequest
    {
        IntersectEntitySchemaName = "new_accounts_campaigns",
        ManyToManyRelationship = new ManyToManyRelationshipMetadata
        {
            SchemaName = "new_accounts_campaigns",
            Entity1LogicalName = "account",
            Entity1AssociatedMenuConfiguration =
            new AssociatedMenuConfiguration
            {
                Behavior = AssociatedMenuBehavior.UseLabel,
                Group = AssociatedMenuGroup.Details,
                Label = new Label("Account", 1033),
                Order = 10000
            },
            Entity2LogicalName = "campaign",
            Entity2AssociatedMenuConfiguration =
            new AssociatedMenuConfiguration

                Label = new Label("Campaign", 1033),
                Order = 10000
            }
        }
    };

    CreateManyToManyResponse createManytoManyRelationshipResponse =
        (CreateManyToManyResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(
        createManyToManyRelationshipRequest);


    _manyToManyRelationshipId =
        createManytoManyRelationshipResponse.ManyToManyRelationshipId;
    _manyToManyRelationshipName =
        createManyToManyRelationshipRequest.ManyToManyRelationship.SchemaName;

    Console.WriteLine(
        "The many-to-many relationship has been created between {0} and {1}.",
        "account", "campaign");
}


Dim accountEligibleParticipate As Boolean = EligibleCreateManyToManyRelationship("account")
Dim campaignEligibleParticipate As Boolean = EligibleCreateManyToManyRelationship("campaign")

If accountEligibleParticipate AndAlso campaignEligibleParticipate Then

 Dim createManyToManyRelationshipRequest As CreateManyToManyRequest =

     .Group = AssociatedMenuGroup.Details,
     .Label = New Label("Account", 1033),
     .Order = 10000
    },
    .Entity2LogicalName = "campaign",
    .Entity2AssociatedMenuConfiguration =

     .Group = AssociatedMenuGroup.Details,
     .Label = New Label("Campaign", 1033),
     .Order = 10000
    }
   }
  }

 Dim createManytoManyRelationshipResponse As CreateManyToManyResponse =
  CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(createManyToManyRelationshipRequest), CreateManyToManyResponse)


 _manyToManyRelationshipId = createManytoManyRelationshipResponse.ManyToManyRelationshipId
 _manyToManyRelationshipName = createManyToManyRelationshipRequest.ManyToManyRelationship.SchemaName

 Console.WriteLine("The many-to-many relationship has been created between {0} and {1}.", "account", "campaign")
