Full Sample – C#
Demonstrates
This sample shows how to associate a contact with three account records using the IOrganizationService.Associate method. It also shows how to use the IOrganizationService.Disassociate method.
Example
// Associate the accounts to the contact record.
// Create a collection of the entities that will be
// associated to the contact.
EntityReferenceCollection relatedEntities = new EntityReferenceCollection();
relatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference(Account.EntityLogicalName, _account1Id));
relatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference(Account.EntityLogicalName, _account2Id));
relatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference(Account.EntityLogicalName, _account3Id));
// Create an object that defines the relationship between the contact and account.
Relationship relationship = new Relationship("account_primary_contact");
//Associate the contact with the 3 accounts.
_service.Associate(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId, relationship,
relatedEntities);
Console.WriteLine("The entities have been associated.");
//Disassociate the records.
_service.Disassociate(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId, relationship,
relatedEntities);
