Hi,

try this, it should work:

public static CrmService CRUDservice(string username, string domain, string password, string server)
        {
            // get the Discovery Service
            CrmDiscoveryService discoveryService = new CrmDiscoveryService();
            discoveryService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
            discoveryService.Url = "http://" + server + "/MSCRMServices/2007/AD/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx";
            // Org Request 
            RetrieveOrganizationsRequest orgRequest = new RetrieveOrganizationsRequest();
            orgRequest.UserId = username;
            orgRequest.Password = password;
            // Org Response
            RetrieveOrganizationsResponse orgResponse = (RetrieveOrganizationsResponse)discoveryService.Execute(orgRequest);
            OrganizationDetail orgInfo = null;
            // Org detail
            OrganizationDetail thisOrg = orgResponse.OrganizationDetails[0];
            string _svcUrl = thisOrg.CrmServiceUrl;
            string _metUrl = thisOrg.CrmMetadataServiceUrl;
            string _orgGuid = thisOrg.OrganizationId.ToString();
            string _orgName = thisOrg.OrganizationName;
            string _webUrl = thisOrg.WebApplicationUrl;
            string _frndName = thisOrg.FriendlyName;

            //== Create & Return CRUD ======================

            // Retrieve the ticket.
            RetrieveCrmTicketRequest ticketRequest = new RetrieveCrmTicketRequest();
            ticketRequest.OrganizationName = _orgName;
            ticketRequest.UserId = domain + "\\" + username;
            ticketRequest.Password = password;
            RetrieveCrmTicketResponse ticketResponse = (RetrieveCrmTicketResponse)discoveryService.Execute(ticketRequest);

            //Create the CrmService Web service proxy.
            CrmAuthenticationToken sdktoken = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
            sdktoken.AuthenticationType = 0; //2
            sdktoken.OrganizationName = _orgName;
            //sdktoken.CrmTicket = ticketResponse.CrmTicket;

            CrmService Cservice = new CrmService();
            Cservice.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = sdktoken;
            Cservice.Url = _svcUrl;
            Cservice.PreAuthenticate = true;
            Cservice.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain);
            //WebApplicationUrl = _webUrl;
            // OrganizationId = orgdetail.OrganizationId;
            return Cservice;
        }

Hi,

you can program against Dynamics CRM 4.0 using either the Web Service and adding a web service reference to your project or using the 4.0 assemblies provided in the Dynamics CRM 4.0 SDK. You can find some sample code on working with the web service here. Working with the assemblies is quite similar to it.

Hi ,

I think this may help you.

// Create and configure the CrmDiscoveryService Web service proxy.
CrmDiscoveryService discoveryService = new CrmDiscoveryService();
discoveryService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
discoveryService.Url = "http://localhost/MSCRMServices/2007/AD/CrmDiscoveryService.asmx";

// Retrieve the list of organizations that the logged on user belongs to.
RetrieveOrganizationsRequest orgRequest = new RetrieveOrganizationsRequest();
RetrieveOrganizationsResponse orgResponse =
    (RetrieveOrganizationsResponse)discoveryService.Execute(orgRequest);

// Locate the target organization in the list.
OrganizationDetail orgInfo = null;
foreach (OrganizationDetail orgDetail in orgResponse.OrganizationDetails)
{
    if (orgDetail.OrganizationName.Equals("AdventureWorksCycle"))
    {
        orgInfo = orgDetail;
        break;
    }
}

// Check whether a matching organization was not found.
if (orgInfo == null)
    throw new Exception("The specified organization was not found.");

After the OrganizationDetail for the target organization has been obtained, the CrmService and CrmMetadataService Web services can be accessed through the provided URLs in OrganizationDetail to obtain the organization's business data.

CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
token.AuthenticationType = 0;
token.OrganizationName = orgInfo.OrganizationName;

CrmService crmService = new CrmService();
crmService.Url = orgInfo.CrmServiceUrl;
crmService.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
crmService.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

If you know the CrmService and CrmMetadataService Web service URLs for the target organization and the name of the organization, you do not have to use the CrmDiscoveryService Web service. You can configure the CrmAuthenticationToken and CrmService instances and invoke Web methods.

Hi,

please share the code you use to initialize the CRM Service so that we can identify the problem. The service requires Windows Authentication for an On Premise installation.
