    Hi,

    I want to add a solution component to my solution using CRM SDK 2011. I am using AddSolutionComponentRequest Class to add a component to solution, but I was strucked how to get account entity component type to assign to property of AddSolutionComponentRequest. How can I able to get it.

     

    Following is the code I am using to add solution component

     

    RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveForAddAccountRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest()
            {
                LogicalName = "account"
            };
            RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveForAddAccountResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)osp.Execute(retrieveForAddAccountRequest);

            QueryExpression SolutionRetrievalQuery = new QueryExpression
            {
                EntityName="solution",
                ColumnSet= new ColumnSet("uniquename")
            };

            EntityCollection SolutionListEntities = osp.RetrieveMultiple(SolutionRetrievalQuery);

            AddSolutionComponentRequest addReq = new AddSolutionComponentRequest()
            {
                ComponentType = (int)
                ComponentId = (Guid)retrieveForAddAccountResponse.EntityMetadata.MetadataId,
                SolutionUniqueName =Convert.ToString(SolutionListEntities.Entities[5]["uniquename"])
            };
            osp.Execute(addReq);

    // Add an existing Solution Component//Add the Account entity to the solution
RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveForAddAccountRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest()
{
    LogicalName = Account.EntityLogicalName
};
RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveForAddAccountResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(retrieveForAddAccountRequest);
AddSolutionComponentRequest addReq = new AddSolutionComponentRequest()
{
    ComponentType = (int)componenttype.Entity,
    ComponentId = (Guid)retrieveForAddAccountResponse.EntityMetadata.MetadataId,
    SolutionUniqueName = solution.UniqueName
};
_serviceProxy.Execute(addReq);


    The integer value of the componenttype enumeration.Componenttype option value "1" is for "Entity".
