Example

[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";

// strVirtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM 
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string strVirtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";

// Create the URL to the SRF files for platform objects
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + strVirtualDirectory + "/";

// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser user = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
user.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
user.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// BizTeam proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizTeam team = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizTeam ();
team.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
team.Url = strDir + "BizTeam.srf";

// Declare the caller
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = null;

string strErrorMsg;
try
{
   // Get the UserAuth of the current logged-on user
   userAuth = user.WhoAmI();

   // Build a team XML string in the business unit of the caller
   string strTeamXML = "<team>";
   strTeamXML += "<name>Another Team</name>";
   strTeamXML += "<businessunitid>" + userAuth.MerchantId + "</businessunitid>";
   strTeamXML += "<emailaddress>anotherteam@northwindtraders.com</emailaddress></team>";

   string[] members = new string[1];
   members[0] = userAuth.UserId;

   // Create and then retrieve the new team
   string strNewTeamXml = team.CreateAndRetrieve(userAuth, strTeamXML, members);
}
catch(System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
   // Process the platform error here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch(Exception err)
{
   // Process other errors here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + "Source: " + err.Source );
