How to know whether a given account is the top most parent account in a heirarchy of sub accounts?

Question
-
Hi,
I need to find out the top most parent account in a given hierarchy of accounts. The parentaccountid for the top most account will be null so I tried entity.Contains("parentaccountid") but it always returns true for parent and child accounts.
I then tried entity.Attributes.Contains("parentaccountid") but it threw an exception.
Is there any way to know parent account.?
Thanks Vineet

Have you tried to test if parentaccounted == null instead?Friday, May 15, 2015 10:05 AM

How are you instantiating the entity instance in code ? If it is the Target InputParameter, then it will only be populated if it has changed. To get the current value, use an EntityImage, and test parentaccountid in that
