Sample: Validate and execute a saved query
Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics 365 (on-premises), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online
This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online & on-premises). Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

Requirements

Demonstrates
This sample shows how to use the IOrganizationService.ValidateSavedQueryRequest message to validate a FetchXML query, and then use the IOrganizationService.ExecuteByIdSavedQueryRequest message to execute the query.
Example
// Connect to the Organization service.
// The using statement assures that the service proxy will be properly disposed.
using (_serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serverConfig.OrganizationUri, serverConfig.HomeRealmUri,serverConfig.Credentials, serverConfig.DeviceCredentials))
{
// This statement is required to enable early-bound type support.
_serviceProxy.EnableProxyTypes();
CreateRequiredRecords();
#region Validate saved query
// Create the request
ValidateSavedQueryRequest validateRequest = new ValidateSavedQueryRequest()
{
FetchXml = _savedQuery.FetchXml,
QueryType = _savedQuery.QueryType.Value
};
// Send the request
Console.WriteLine(" Validating Saved Query");
try
{
// executing the request will throw an exception if the fetch xml is invalid
var validateResponse = (ValidateSavedQueryResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(validateRequest);
Console.WriteLine(" Saved Query validated successfully");
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine(" Invalid Saved Query");
throw;
}
#endregion
#region Execute saved query
// Create the request
ExecuteByIdSavedQueryRequest executeSavedQueryRequest = new ExecuteByIdSavedQueryRequest()
{
EntityId = _savedQuery.Id
};
// Execute the request
Console.WriteLine(" Executing Saved Query");
ExecuteByIdSavedQueryResponse executeSavedQueryResponse =
(ExecuteByIdSavedQueryResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(executeSavedQueryRequest);
// Check results
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(executeSavedQueryResponse.String))
throw new Exception("Saved Query did not return any results");
PrintResults(executeSavedQueryResponse.String);
#endregion
#region Execute user query
// Create the request
ExecuteByIdUserQueryRequest executeUserQuery = new ExecuteByIdUserQueryRequest()
{
EntityId = _userQuery.ToEntityReference()
};
// Send the request
Console.WriteLine(" Executing User Query");
ExecuteByIdUserQueryResponse executeUserQueryResponse =
(ExecuteByIdUserQueryResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(executeUserQuery);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(executeUserQueryResponse.String))
