Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface instance.

/// <summary>
/// Retrieves the current metadata timestamp
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">Authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
/// <returns>The timestamp value</returns>
static string RetrieveTimestamp(IOrganizationService service) {

   RetrieveTimestampRequest request = new();
   var response = (RetrieveTimestampResponse)service.Execute(request);
   return response.Timestamp;
}         

The value returned may look like this: 99033537.

Remarks

For the Web API use the RetrieveTimestamp function.

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute(OrganizationRequest) method, which returns an instance of RetrieveTimestampResponse.

Privileges and Access Rights

Notes for Callers

Execute this message before you retrieve metadata. You can repeat this process later to see if the metadata has changed in the intervening time. If the value is the same, the metadata has not changed. If the value is different, you retrieve the metadata again to get the updated values.
