You need to examine the properties of the response like this:
RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveBankAccountEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest { EntityFilters = EntityFilters.All, LogicalName = "account" }; RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(retrieveBankAccountEntityRequest); bool test = retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomizable.Value; bool test2 = retrieveBankAccountEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomEntity.Value;

Hi,
As Jammie mentioned that you can get the status using RetrieveEntityRequest, i wrote the full code to make it easy for you to check whether entity is custom or customizable
RetrieveEntityRequest jj_RetrieveEntityRequest = new RetrieveEntityRequest(); RetrieveEntityResponse jj_RetrieveEntityResponse = null; bool jj_IsCustomEntity = false, jj_IsCustomizableEntity = false; jj_RetrieveEntityRequest.EntityFilters = Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.EntityFilters.Entity; jj_RetrieveEntityRequest.LogicalName = "gits_application"; jj_RetrieveEntityResponse = (RetrieveEntityResponse)crmService.Execute(jj_RetrieveEntityRequest); if (jj_RetrieveEntityResponse != null) { jj_IsCustomEntity = jj_RetrieveEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomEntity.HasValue; jj_IsCustomizableEntity = jj_RetrieveEntityResponse.EntityMetadata.IsCustomizable.Value; }
