    I guess you are referring to current user in crm. Retrieve the system user entity instance for the currently logged on user or the user under whose context the executed code is running.

    WhoAmI Request

    var
 from = new
 List
<XrmLinq.Core.ActivityParty
>();
        from.Add(
            new
 XrmLinq.Core.ActivityParty
 
            { 
                PartyIdType = SystemUser
.Fields
.SchemaName, // must set the type first

                PartyId = _context.WhoAmI().UserId
 
            });

    You need to add the Microsoft.crm.sdktypeproxy.dll, this can be found in the SDK download or on the CRM server.

    Hi there,

     

     The "Microsoft.crm.sdk.dll" does not contain any definition of "WhoAmIRequest", instead i have used "Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.dll" wich does have it. But now, i got some "ambiguous" errors, for example:

     

      'contract' is an ambiguous reference between 'Xrm.contract' and 'Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.contract'

     

    Am i missing something here? any idea?

     

    Cheers

    you will get this. because both have contract definition. so while using contract use like below instead of just using contract

    Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.contract _contract=new Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.contract();

    Hi there,

    Well, using:

    Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.contract _contract=new Microsoft.Crm.SdkTypeProxy.contract();

    Will solve the "ambiguous" errors, but  this change cause a lot or compilations incomaptibilities/error in my code(lots of them), things like "can not implicity convert contract(XRM) to cotract(CRM)" etc that i will need to solve. Is there any way of indicating that i want to use XRM contract instead Microsoft.Crm. SdkTypeProxy ? so i can avoid this kind of errors..

    Cheers
