I've got an object that has a collection of properties. When I get the specific entity I can see the field I'm looking for (opportunityid
) and that it's Value
attribute is the Guid
for this opportunity. This is the value I want, but it won't always be for an opportunity, and therefore I can't always look at opportunityid
, so I need to get the field based on input supplied by the user.
My code so far is:
Guid attrGuid = new Guid();
BusinessEntityCollection members = CrmWebService.RetrieveMultiple(query);
if (members.BusinessEntities.Length > 0)
{
try
{
dynamic attr = members.BusinessEntities[0];
//Get collection of opportunity properties
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] Props = attr.GetType().GetProperties();
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo info = Props.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == GuidAttributeName);
attrGuid = info.PropertyType.GUID; //doesn't work.
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new Exception("An error occurred when retrieving the value for " + attributeName + ". Error: " + ex.Message);
}
}
The dynamic attr
contains the field I'm looking for (in this case opportunityid
), which in turn contains a value field, which is the correct Guid
. However, when I get the PropertyInfo
info (opportunityid
) it no longer has a Value
attribute. I tried looking at the PropertyType.GUID
but this doesn't return the correct Guid
. How can I get the value for this property?
