Examples

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 instance. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.

The UpdateRequestExample method below demonstrates:

• Applying duplicate detection rules in case the change to the record makes it match an existing record.

• Optimistic concurrency checks to ensure that the record hasn't been changed since it was retrieved.

• Optional parameters to pass values to a plug-in and prevent custom logic from being triggered.

Use duplicate detection when creating and updating records

Remarks

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute(OrganizationRequest) method, which returns an instance of the UpdateResponse class.

This message supports one or more optional parameters. For more information, see Use messages (request and response classes) with the Execute method.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the table for the Entity set to the Target property. Generally, callers must have Read and Write privileges for the table. Learn more about how to verify access in code

Notes for Callers

This message updates a record and its related records in one transaction. For a less complex method that updates a single record, use the Update(Entity) method.

This class enables some operations not possible when using the Update(Entity) method. Some things you can do with this class:

• Apply duplicate detection rules. Learn how to detect duplicate data using the SDK for .NET

• Apply optimistic concurrency checks by setting the ConcurrencyBehavior property.

• Apply optional parameters. Learn how to use optional parameters.

Supported Tables

See Message support for tables for an example query you can use to get the list of tables you can use with the Update message.
