Remarks

You should only use this method for attributes you know were requested in the query that retrieved the entity. You can use Entity.Contains to check whether the entity instance includes the attribute.

When an entity instance does not include the attribute specified using the attributeLogicalName parameter this method will return null or the default value for the type rather than throw an exception. You should not assume that the entity includes the attribute. It may not be included if the code that retrieved the attribute didn’t request it.

The following table describes the default types for Dynamics Customer Engagement types which have default values:

CRM Type	.NET Type	Default Value
Two Options	Boolean	false
Whole Number	Int	0
Floating Point Number	Double	0.0
Currency	Decimal	0
Date and Time	DateTime	DateTime.MinValue(01/01/0001)

As mentioned above, getAttributeValue will return the default value rather than null for these attributes when the attribute is not requested in the query.

Examples

GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("regardingobjectid")
