How to get to the entity schema's in CRM Online

If you plan and doing integration using the web services, you may find it useful to have access to the entity schema's.

The entity schemas will give the definition of all the entities in the system. You can use them to help you integrate CRM data into other systems. I'm working on an application that will map CRM data into a Word document and having the schema definitions at hand made it easier than having to re-create it.

  Do you know how to create the C-sharp class file (*.cs) automatically by downloading the metadata containing the information on the layout of the tables of the DB used by Dynamics CRM5 2011 Online. This class file can be used by another web application located at a different server to access the database of Dynamics CRM5 2011 Online to read, update, or delete records. This application is being developed in C-sharp language now. I tried to use the method explained at this site : crm5org946cd.api.crm5.dynamics.com/.../Organization.svc. And the code I used is as follows; svcutil.exe /directory:C:data {URL} However, there was an error with this method. If you can help me with this, I would appreciate it. Or, if you know any other person or site for me to go to, please let me know. Best regards, H. Matsu
