Question

I am trying to save a dataset into the CRM2011 by using the SOAP API.

A normal UPDATE set look like this:

Found the answer to my own question:

<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
   <c:key>EntityMoniker</c:key>
   <c:value i:type="a:EntityReference">
      <a:Id>' + id + '</a:Id>
      <a:LogicalName>' + logicalName + '</a:LogicalName>
      <a:Name i:nil="true" />
   </c:value>
</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
<a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
   <c:key>State</c:key>
   <c:value i:type="a:OptionSetValue">
      <a:Value>0</a:Value>
   </c:value>
</a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
