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.

// Create the Request Object
SetStateRequest state = new SetStateRequest();

// Set the Request Object's Properties
state.State = new OptionSetValue((int)IncidentState.Active);
state.Status = 
    new OptionSetValue((int)incident_statuscode.WaitingforDetails);

// Point the Request to the case whose state is being changed
state.EntityMoniker = caseReference;

// Execute the Request
SetStateResponse stateSet = (SetStateResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(state);

// Check if the state was successfully set
Incident incident = _serviceProxy.Retrieve(Incident.EntityLogicalName, 
    _caseIncidentId, new ColumnSet(allColumns: true)).ToEntity<Incident>();

if (incident.StatusCode.Value == (int)incident_statuscode.WaitingforDetails)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Record state set successfully.");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("The request to set the record state failed.");
}

Remarks

Message Availability

This message works regardless whether the caller is connected to the server or offline. Not all entity types support this message offline. See Supported Entities later in this topic.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the specified entity in the EntityMoniker property.

Valid State and Status value combinations

The valid combinations of state and status code values varies for many entities. See Default status and status reason values for a list of default values for specific system entities.

For a list of the state and status values valid for custom entities in your organization, refer to the entity metadata.

To view the entity metadata for your organization, install the Metadata Browser solution described in Browse the Metadata for Your Organization. You can also view the metadata for an uncustomized organization in the Excel file called EntityMetadata.xlsx included in the tools folder of the SDK download.
