Dynamics CRM Get Info For Customer

I'm working on a ASP.NET (C#) site that pulls most of its data from Dynamics CRM over SOAP using Microsoft's CrmService SDK.

I'm at the point where a query has returned an entity with a property of the type Customer. I need to get the name string of that customer record, but cannot figure out how to do so.

By doing a little guess work I figured out that what I have is GUID for the customer. How can I use this GUID to get the customer's name as a string?

Solution

  • If I remember correctly to get the name of the Customer you should be able to do:

    yourEntity.Customer.name;

    The following code would give you the GUID:

    yourEntity.Customer.Value;
