    hello everyone.
     
    I want to retrieve attribute names of an entity such as "account".
    I try the following code but the "Attributes" property just holds null.
      
    RetrieveEntityRequest request = new RetrieveEntityRequest();
    request.LogicalName = "account";
    RetrieveEntityResponse response = (RetrieveEntityResponse)_service.Execute(request);
    var AttributesSet = response.EntityMetadata.Attributes
     
    No exception occurs.
    What is wrong with this?

    I think you need to specify the filter

     

    RetrieveEntityRequest request = new RetrieveEntityRequest();
    request.EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Attributes;
    request.LogicalName = "account";
    RetrieveEntityResponse response = (RetrieveEntityResponse)_service.Execute(request);
    var AttributesSet = response.EntityMetadata.Attributes
    I hope this helps.

    Thank you Amreek!!

     

    You are right.

    What I need was the "EntityFilters".

    It worked all fine!!
