    Hi there,

    While querying the campaignActivityItem, i am getting the error

    The 'RetrieveMultiple' method does not support entities of type 'campaignactivityitem'

    below is the code i am using. What should i do if i need to get this done.

    Thanks! 
    QueryExpression query = new QueryExpression();
query.EntityName = EntityName.campaignactivityitem.ToString();
ColumnSet cols = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "campaignactivityid" });
query.ColumnSet = cols;
LinkEntity listLinkItem = query.AddLink(EntityName.campaignitem.ToString(), "itemid", "entityid", JoinOperator.Inner);
listLinkItem.LinkCriteria = new FilterExpression();
ConditionExpression condition = new ConditionExpression("campaignid", ConditionOperator.Equal, CampaignId);
listLinkItem.LinkCriteria.Conditions.Add(condition);

BusinessEntityCollection oMktList = 
service.RetrieveMultiple(query);

    Hi crmslave,

    yes, this is correct. Because a campaignActivityItem represents an Intersect-Table you have to use the Fetch-method instead of Retrieve or RetrieveMultiple.

    Using Intersect Tables
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb928436.aspx

    -----

    When there is a many-to-many relationship between two entities, an intersect table is created. This is true for both system relationships built in to the product as well as custom many-to-many relationships. The name of the table is specified in the IntersectEntityName property in the relationship metadata.

    You can use the intersect tables to refine the result set in the QueryExpression for a RetrieveMultiple query. However, you cannot retrieve the intersect table records directly with the RetrieveMultiple method. To retrieve the records in an intersect table, you must use the Fetch method.

    The following table lists the intersect tables that are used in M:M relationships between system entities.

    teammembership team systemuser

    Example

    The following example shows how to create a query expression by using a link table. The query retrieves all the roles for a user. This is a many-to-many relationship between the system user entity and the role entity. The name of the intersect table is systemuserroles.

    [C#]
// Set up the CRM Service.
CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
token.AuthenticationType = 0; 
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
 
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Url = ""http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Get the GUID of the current user.
WhoAmIRequest who = new WhoAmIRequest();
WhoAmIResponse whoResp = (WhoAmIResponse)service.Execute(who);

Guid userid = whoResp.UserId;

// Create a query expression.
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression();
qe.EntityName = "role";
qe.ColumnSet = new AllColumns();

// Create the link entity from role to systemuserroles.
LinkEntity le = new LinkEntity();
le.LinkFromEntityName = "role";
le.LinkFromAttributeName = "roleid";
le.LinkToEntityName = "systemuserroles";
le.LinkToAttributeName = "roleid";

LinkEntity le2 = new LinkEntity();
le2.LinkFromEntityName = "systemuserroles";
le2.LinkFromAttributeName = "systemuserid";
le2.LinkToEntityName = "systemuser";
le2.LinkToAttributeName = "systemuserid";

// Create the condition to test the user ID.
ConditionExpression ce = new ConditionExpression();
ce.AttributeName = "systemuserid";
ce.Operator = ConditionOperator.Equal;
ce.Values = new object[]{userid};

// Add the condition to the link entity.
le2.LinkCriteria = new FilterExpression();
le2.LinkCriteria.Conditions = new ConditionExpression[]{ce};

// Add the from and to links to the query.
le.LinkEntities = new LinkEntity[]{le2};
qe.LinkEntities = new LinkEntity[]{le};

// Retrieve the roles and write each one to the console.
BusinessEntityCollection bec = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (BusinessEntity e in bec.BusinessEntities)
{
   role r = (role)e;
   Console.WriteLine(r.name.ToString());
}
