Create a child record by copying mapping fields data from Parent – Using CRM SDK


InitializeFromRequest initialize = new InitializeFromRequest();

// Set the target entity (i.e.,Contact)
initialize.TargetEntityName = “contact”;

// Create the EntityMoniker of Source (i.e.,Account)
initialize.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference(“account”, new Guid(“D4CBEE74-B5E3-E611-8109-C4346BDD8041”));

// Execute the request
InitializeFromResponse initialized = (InitializeFromResponse)orgService.Execute(initialize);

// Read Intitialized entity (i.e.,Contact with copied attributes from Account)
if (initialized.Entity != null)
{
// Get entContact from the response
Entity entContact = initialized.Entity;

// Set the additional attributes of the Contact
entContact.Attributes.Add(“firstname”, “Rajeev”);
entContact.Attributes.Add(“lastname”, “Pentyala”);

// Create a new contact
orgService.Create(entContact);
