Sample: Dump entity metadata to a file

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

This sample code is for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package. It can be found in the following location in the download package:

SampleCode\CS\Metadata\Entities\DumpEntityInfo.cs

SampleCode\VB\Metadata\Entities\DumpEntityInfo.vb

Requirements

For more information about the requirements for running the sample code provided in this SDK, see Use the sample and helper code.

Demonstrates

This sample shows how to write out all the entity metadata to an XML file. It uses the RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest message.

The following sample creates a new file at \Entities\bin\Debug\EntityInfo.xml. You can open this file in Microsoft Office Excel to see a tabular report. You may need this information to discover the entity type code for a custom entity for use in reports.
