Sample: Assign a queue to a team (late bound)
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\GeneralProgramming\LateBound\AssignQueueToTeamDE.cs
Note
This sample for the Queue entity was not updated for changes introduced with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Spring ‘14. While it continues to work, it doesn’t represent the best practices to use with queues in the most recent release. More information: Enhancements to queues with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 service pack 1 (on-premises) and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Spring ‘14
