  2. Download the UpsertSample Visual Studio project.

  3. Open the UpsertSample Visual Studio project and install Microsoft.CrmSdk.CoreAssemblies version 7.1.0-preview NuGet Package. See Install NuGet packages for instructions.

  4. After you install the NuGet packages, see Run the sample for instructions on how to run the sample and what to expect.

What this sample does

  1. The ProductUpsertSample class Run method calls the ImportUpsertSampleSolution method which first detects whether the UpsertSample managed solution is already installed. If it is not, the UpsertSample_1_0_0_0_managed.zip file is imported to install this managed solution.

    This managed solution contains a custom sample_product entity that is used by this sample. This entity has a sample_productcode alternate key that creates a unique constraint on the values stored in that attribute.

  2. The WaitForEntityAndKeysToBeActive method is necessary because the alternate keys required for this sample may not be ready immediately after the UpsertSample solution is installed. This method polls the metadata for the sample_product entity to delay the execution of the rest of the sample until the alternate keys are ready.

  3. The first time the ProcessUpsert method is called it processes data in the newsampleproduct.xml file to represent new products. The UpsertRequest is passed to the Execute method to create 13 new records.

    The UpsertResponse.RecordCreated property returns true to indicate that new records were created.

    Before the ProcessUpsert method completes, the program will ask if you want to view the sample product entity records. If you respond with ‘y’ the program will attempt to open Internet Explorer to a view showing the newly created records.

  4. The second time the ProcessUpsert method is called it processes data in the updatedsampleproduct.xml file to represent updates to products previously created. The Upsert message is used to update 6 records. The UpsertResponse.RecordCreated property returns false showing that records were updated.

    Again, the ProcessUpsert method will ask if you want to view the records in the browser. If you already have the view open, you can just refresh the view to observe the changes.

  5. Finally, the DeleteUpsertSampleSolution will prompt you to delete the Upsert Sample managed solution.

    If you choose “y”, the managed solution will be deleted including the sample_product entity and all the data in that entity. Your organization will be left with nothing added to it.

    If you choose “n”, you can inspect the details of the solution including the data created by the sample. But you must manually delete the managed solution to return your organization to the original state.
