xRM messages in the Organization service

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2015

The Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages namespace supports the core messages used to work with the data stored in any entity. This namespace also contains the messages you can use to retrieve and customize the metadata for entities, attributes, and relationships.

Messages are used with the IOrganizationService.Execute method. All messages available in the Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages namespace apply to all three deployment types.

The request page indicates whether the message works while online (connected to the server) or offline (disconnected from the server).
