SUMMARY

The sample code snippets for the CRMOpportunityProduct.RetrieveByObject method in the SDK for Microsoft Business Solutions CRM versions 1.0 and 1.2 read as follows.

Incorrect Code for MSCRM v1.2:

Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName();
objName.Id = strOpportunityId;
objName.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.ObjectType.otOpportunityProduct;

Incorrect Code for MSCRM v1.0:

Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName();
objName.Id = strOpportunityId;
objName.Type = Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.ObjectType.otOpportunityProduct;

Since the method retrieves products related to the opportunity object, the object type needs to be set to Opportunity.

Correct Code for MSCRM v1.2:

Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CObjectName();
objName.Id = strOpportunityId;
objName.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.ObjectType.otOpportunity;

Correct Code for MSCRM v1.0:

Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName();
objName.Id = strOpportunityId;
objName.Type = Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.ObjectType.otOpportunity;
