creating ActivityParties from Silverlight

Friday, April 27, 2012 1:43 PM

I am trying to create ActivityParty records in CRM2011 from Silverlight. Although ContactIds list contains 13 items, just one ActivityParty is created.

Here's my code:

    private void CreateActivityParties(Appointment Activity, List<Guid> ContactIds)
    {
      try
      {
        foreach (var ContactID in ContactIds)
        {
          ActivityParty APReq = new ActivityParty();

          WoodContext.EntityReference AppointmentReference = new WoodContext.EntityReference();
          AppointmentReference.LogicalName = "appointment";
          AppointmentReference.Id = Activity.ActivityId;
          
          APReq.ActivityId = AppointmentReference;
          APReq.PartyId = new WoodContext.EntityReference() { Id = ContactID, LogicalName = "contact" };

          APReq.InstanceTypeCode = new WoodContext.OptionSetValue();
          APReq.InstanceTypeCode.Value = 0;
          APReq.IsPartyDeleted = false;
          APReq.ParticipationTypeMask = new WoodContext.OptionSetValue();
          APReq.ParticipationTypeMask.Value = 5;

          _context.AddToActivityPartySet(APReq);

        }
        _context.BeginSaveChanges(OnCreateAPComplete, Activity);
      }
      catch (SystemException ex)
      {
        LogHelper.AddError("InterfActivity(CreateActivityParties): " + ex.InnerException);
      }
    }

any suggestions?

Thanks!

it could be becuase you are not adding all activity parties properly.. I have done some chnages in your code above for the same..

please try following code and see if this works..

private void CreateActivityParties(Appointment Activity, List<Guid> ContactIds)
    {
      try
      {

          WoodContext.EntityReference AppointmentReference = new WoodContext.EntityReference();
          AppointmentReference.LogicalName = "appointment";
          AppointmentReference.Id = Activity.ActivityId;

          ActivityParty APReq = null;
       foreach (var ContactID in ContactIds)
        {
          APReq = new ActivityParty();


           APReq.ActivityId = AppointmentReference;
          APReq.PartyId = new WoodContext.EntityReference() { Id = ContactID, LogicalName = "contact" };

          APReq.InstanceTypeCode = new WoodContext.OptionSetValue();
          APReq.InstanceTypeCode.Value = 0;
          APReq.IsPartyDeleted = false;
          APReq.ParticipationTypeMask = new WoodContext.OptionSetValue();
          APReq.ParticipationTypeMask.Value = 5;

          _context.AddToActivityPartySet(APReq);

        }
        _context.BeginSaveChanges(OnCreateAPComplete, Activity);
      }
      catch (SystemException ex)
      {
        LogHelper.AddError("InterfActivity(CreateActivityParties): " + ex.InnerException);
      }
    }

To create multiple ActivityParty you need to make an array of ActivityParty.
I hope this helps. If my response answered your question, please mark the response as an answer and also vote as helpful.

MayankP, your optimalization of the code seems good; however, it doesn’t solve my problem = still only one ActivityParty is created (checked in db)

Mubasher, I am not able to create an array of ActivityParty in Silverlight REST. Or, is there some way to do it?

You could use ActivityParty Array Like below code

            ActivityParty party = new ActivityParty
            {
                PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _ContactId)
            };
            ActivityParty party2 = new ActivityParty
            {
                PartyId = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, _ContactId)
            };
// Create the fax object.
            Fax fax = new Fax
            {
                Subject = "Sample Fax",
                From = new ActivityParty[] { party,party2 },
                
            };

Unfortunately, the class Fax doesn’t have property From in Silverlight.

Probably, I wasn’t clear enough: I am looking for a solution working with Silverlight REST similarly to my piece of code.
