Creates a record.

Namespace: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk
Assembly: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk (in Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.dll)

Syntax

[OperationContractAttribute]
[FaultContractAttribute(typeof(OrganizationServiceFault))]
Guid Create(
    Entity entity
)

<OperationContractAttribute>
<FaultContractAttribute(GetType(OrganizationServiceFault))>
Function Create (
    entity As Entity
) As Guid

Parameters

entity
Type: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Entity

Type: Entity. An entity instance that contains the properties to set in the newly created record.

Return Value

Type: System.Guid

Type:Guid
The ID of the newly created record.

Remarks

Message Availability

This message works regardless whether the caller is connected to the server or offline.

Not all entity types support this message offline. See Supported Entities later in this topic.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have privileges on the entity that is specified in the entity parameter. For a list of the required privileges, see Create message privileges.

Notes for Callers

This method creates one record in a transaction. To create a record that has related records in a transaction, use CreateRequest.

By default the caller becomes the owner for the new record. However, for the caller to own the new record, it must have both Create and Read privileges for the entity. For more information, see Privileges by entity. Alternatively, you can set the ownerid property to the ID of another user.

The entity instance that is specified as a parameter must contain values for all the attributes where the RequiredLevel is set to SystemRequired. You can see this in the metadata topic for the entity. If the entity instance includes properties where IsValidForCreate is false, the values are ignored. You can find this information in the metadata for your organization. See the preceding metadata browser information.

For more information about the exceptions that can be thrown when this method is called, see Handle exceptions in your code.

Supported Entities

You can use this method to create any record of an entity that supports the Create message, including custom entities.

The following table shows the default entities that support this message. For the listed entities of this message, the Availability column shows Server if the caller must be connected to the server and shows Both if the caller can be either connected to, or disconnected from, the server.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the Create method to create an account record (early bound). For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to instantiate an IOrganizationService interface. You can find the complete sample in the sample code package in the folder SampleCode\CS\GeneralProgramming\EarlyBound\CRUDOperations.cs.


// Connect to the Organization service. 
// The using statement assures that the service proxy will be properly disposed.
using (_serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serverConfig.OrganizationUri, serverConfig.HomeRealmUri,serverConfig.Credentials, serverConfig.DeviceCredentials))
{
    // This statement is required to enable early-bound type support.
    _serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();

    CreateRequiredRecords();

    // Instantiate an account object.
    // See the Entity Metadata topic in the SDK documentation to determine 
    // which attributes must be set for each entity.
    Account account = new Account { Name = "Fourth Coffee" };

    // Create an account record named Fourth Coffee.
    _accountId = _serviceProxy.Create(account);
    Console.Write("{0} {1} created, ", account.LogicalName, account.Name);

    // Retrieve the account containing several of its attributes.
    ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet(
        new String[] { "name", "address1_postalcode", "lastusedincampaign", "versionnumber" });

    Account retrievedAccount = (Account)_serviceProxy.Retrieve("account", _accountId, cols);
    Console.Write("retrieved ");
