    If CRM Entity will contain lookup property then it will have value or else it will be Null.

    CRM 4.0:

     

    Lookup AccountEntityLookup = null;

    // Checking if Entity has Lookup Field or if it is null then it will not be retrieved 

    If ( InputEntity.Properties.Contains ("new_account_entity_lookup") )

    {

    AccountEntityLookup = (Lookup)InputEntity["new_account_entity_lookup"];

    }

    CRM 2011:

    EntityReference (Lookup type) contains thre attributes 1. id  (Entity Record Unique Identifier) and 2. LogicalName (Entity Logical Name) 3. Name of Primary Attribute

    EntityReference AccountEntityLookup = null;

    // Checking if Entity has Lookup Field or if it is null then it will not be retrieved

    If ( InputEntity.Contains ("new_account_entity_lookup") )

    {

           AccountEntityLookup = (EntityReference)InputEntity["new_account_entity_lookup"];

    }

    Hi Javeed,

     

    If I assign null values also I am getting the same error like "The requested record was not found or you do not have the sufficient permission to view it"

    Lookup

    _cor = null;

     

    if (_entity.Properties.Contains("us_corid"

    )){

    _cor = (

    Lookup)_entity.Properties["us_corid"

    ];

    }

    

     

    emergcyeventent.Properties.Add(new LookupProperty("us_corid", _cor));

    CreateResponse

     

    createresponse = (CreateResponse)crmService.Execute(createrequest); // getting the error here

    

    Thanks,

    Srikanth Reddy

    Hi,

    Becuase you are adding the lookup property into the entity whether it is null or not use code like this:

    if (_cor != null)

    {

           emergcyeventent.Properties.Add(new LookupProperty("us_corid", _cor)); 

    }

    If this solves your problem please Mark it as Answer.
