Sample: Late-bound table operations

This sample demonstrates the create, retrieve, update, and delete operations on an account using the late bound class.

SDK for .NET: Late-bound table operations sample code

How to run this sample

1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you do not specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the dataverse/App.config file.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described above, the sample will do the following:

Setup

Checks for the current version of the org.

Demonstrate

1. Instantiates the account object.
2. Creates an account record.
3. Retrieves the account and its columns.
4. Updates the postal1 code column and set the postal2 code to null.
5. Update the account.
6. Prompts to delete the account records created.

Clean up

There is no clean up required, since all the sample records that are created are deleted in the demonstrate section.
