Is there a way to programmatically access the Label & Value fields that has been created as a custom Field in MS CRM Dynamics please?
I have added a custom field
This function retrieves a dictionary of possible values localised to the current user. Taken from: CRM 2011 Programatically Finding the Values of Picklists, Optionsets, Statecode, Statuscode and Boolean (Two Options).
static Dictionary GetNumericValues(IOrganizationService service, String entity, String attribute)
{
RetrieveAttributeRequest request = new RetrieveAttributeRequest
{
EntityLogicalName = entity,
LogicalName = attribute,
RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
};
RetrieveAttributeResponse response = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)service.Execute(request);
switch (response.AttributeMetadata.AttributeType)
{
case AttributeTypeCode.Picklist:
case AttributeTypeCode.State:
case AttributeTypeCode.Status:
return ((EnumAttributeMetadata)response.AttributeMetadata).OptionSet.Options
.ToDictionary(key => key.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label, option => option.Value.Value);
case AttributeTypeCode.Boolean:
Dictionary values = new Dictionary();
BooleanOptionSetMetadata metaData = ((BooleanAttributeMetadata)response.AttributeMetadata).OptionSet;
values[metaData.TrueOption.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label] = metaData.TrueOption.Value.Value;
values[metaData.FalseOption.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label] = metaData.FalseOption.Value.Value;
return values;
default:
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException();
}
}
So you would then need to do something like:
Dictionary values = GetNumericValues(proxy, "your_entity", "new_producttypesubcode");
if(values.ContainsKey("Trophy"))
{
//Do something with the value
OptionSetValue optionSetValue = values["Trophy"];
int value = optionSetValue.Value;
}
