Sample: Create a reciprocal connection role (early bound)
Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2015 Update. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. This sample code can be found in the following location in the download package:
SampleCode\CS\BusinessDataModel\BusinessManagement\CreateReciprocalConnectionRole.cs
Requirements
For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to create the reciprocal connection roles. It creates a connection role for an account and a connection role for a contact, and then makes them reciprocal by associating them with each other.
