    I have created a query expressions which retrieves all order products associated with an order.

    Here is my current query expression:

                var query = new QueryExpression("salesorderdetail");
            query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(new string[] { "salesorderdetailid", "productid", "new_event", "new_inventory", "productdescription" });
            query.Criteria.AddCondition("salesorderid", ConditionOperator.Equal, combinedEntity.Id);
            query.Distinct = true;

            EntityCollection retrieved = context.OrganizationService.RetrieveMultiple(query);

    The problem is that I only want to retrieve data with a unique productid.

    Is this possible using QueryExpression? Can anyone show me?

    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure that I understood completely your question, however if you want you can add a condition on the productid, like

    Guid selectedProductId = new Guid(""); // your guid here
query.Criteria.AddCondition("productid", ConditionOperator.Equal, selectedProductId);

    and if you don't have the productid, but a product field value, you can always link the product entity, you can find an example here:

    In my opinion it is not possible via queryexpression , instead use fetch query to do so.

    Example:

    <fetch mapping="logical"  distinct="true" version="1.0">
        <entity name="salesorderdetail">
            <attribute name="productid" />
            <filter>
                <condition attribute="salesorderid" operator="eq" value="188e0cc5-bd92-e111-bf0d-000c29b88bc5" />
            </filter>
        </entity>
    </fetch>

    Hope this helps. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Santosh Bhagat If this post answers your question, please click "Mark As Answer" on the post and "Vote as Helpful"

    It may help if you elaborate on what you want to achieve, but be aware that Distinct=true in a QueryExpression or Fetch solely ensures that the same record is not returned more than once. Unlike a SQL Distinct clause, it does not prevent the results showing duplicates acorss all fields returned
