Today we will see how to query the data in ms crm similar to a SQL Query using Query Expression.
// Build the following SQL query using QueryExpression:
// SQL Query:
// SELECT contact.fullname, contact.address1_telephone1
// FROM contact
// LEFT OUTER JOIN account
// ON contact.parentcustomerid = account.accountid
// AND
// account.name = 'Litware, Inc.'
// WHERE (contact.address1_stateorprovince = 'WA'
// AND
// contact.address1_city in ('Redmond', 'Bellevue', 'Kirkland', 'Seattle')
// AND
// contact.address1_telephone1 like '(206)%'
// OR
// contact.address1_telephone1 like '(425)%'
// AND
// DATEDIFF(DAY, contact.createdon, GETDATE()) > 0
// AND
// DATEDIFF(DAY, contact.createdon, GETDATE()) < 30
// AND
// contact.emailaddress1 Not NULL
// )
Similar Query using QueryExpression:
QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression()
{
Distinct = false,
EntityName = Contact.EntityLogicalName,
ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("fullname", "address1_telephone1"),
LinkEntities =
{
new LinkEntity
{
JoinOperator = JoinOperator.LeftOuter,
LinkFromAttributeName = "parentcustomerid",
LinkFromEntityName = Contact.EntityLogicalName,
LinkToAttributeName = "accountid",
LinkToEntityName = Account.EntityLogicalName,
LinkCriteria =
{
Conditions =
{
new ConditionExpression("name", ConditionOperator.Equal, "Litware, Inc.")
}
}
}
},
Criteria =
{
Filters =
{
new FilterExpression
{
FilterOperator = LogicalOperator.And,
Conditions =
{
new ConditionExpression("address1_stateorprovince", ConditionOperator.Equal, "WA"),
new ConditionExpression("address1_city", ConditionOperator.In, new String[] {"Redmond", "Bellevue" , "Kirkland", "Seattle"}),
new ConditionExpression("createdon", ConditionOperator.LastXDays, 30),
new ConditionExpression("emailaddress1", ConditionOperator.NotNull)
},
},
new FilterExpression
{
FilterOperator = LogicalOperator.Or,
Conditions =
{
new ConditionExpression("address1_telephone1", ConditionOperator.Like, "(206)%"),
new ConditionExpression("address1_telephone1", ConditionOperator.Like, "(425)%")
}
}
}
}
};
DataCollection<Entity> entityCollection = _service.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities;
// Display the results.
Console.WriteLine("List all contacts matching specified parameters");
Console.WriteLine("===============================================");
foreach (Contact contact in entityCollection)
{
Console.WriteLine("Contact ID: {0}", contact.Id);
Console.WriteLine("Contact Name: {0}", contact.FullName);
Console.WriteLine("Contact Phone: {0}", contact.Address1_Telephone1);
}
Console.WriteLine("<End of Listing>");
Console.WriteLine();
