    Hi I have a need to retrieve the ownerid attribute metadata for Opportunity entity. I am unable to retrieve this using the following code... it retrieves all other attribute metadata just fine. Can someone please advice what am I doing wrong below?

     

    RetrieveAttributeRequest attributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest();
    attributeRequest.EntityLogicalName = entityName;  //passing "opportunity"
    attributeRequest.LogicalName = attributeName;      //passing "ownerid"

    RetrieveAttributeResponse attributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)metadataSrv.Execute(attributeRequest);      //SOAP error - unable to retrieve the metadata
    attrMetadata = attributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;

    Thanks,

    I tested it and it works fine...I think problem might be in the your URL ..make sure you have URL point to something as follows..

     

    http://<<YOUR SERVERNAME>>:<PORTNAME>>/MSCRMServices/2007/metadataservice.asmx

     

     

     

    following code that i tested and working fine at my end..

    MetadataService metadataSrv = new MetadataService();

metadataSrv.Url = "http://<<YOUR SERVERNAME>>:<PORTNAME>>/MSCRMServices/2007/metadataservice.asmx";

metadataSrv.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
token.AuthenticationType = 0;   
token.OrganizationName = <<YOUR ORG NAME>>;
metadataSrv.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;


RetrieveAttributeRequest attributeRequest = new RetrieveAttributeRequest();
attributeRequest.EntityLogicalName = "opportunity";
attributeRequest.LogicalName = "ownerid";

RetrieveAttributeResponse attributeResponse = (RetrieveAttributeResponse)oCrmService.Execute(attributeRequest);  //SOAP error - unable to retrieve the 

AttributeMetadata attrMetadata = attributeResponse.AttributeMetadata;
