    I have a relationship 1:n from contact entity to custom entity called IRA. So in IRA entity i have a lookup field which i dont know how to fill in. The question is how to conect this two entities.

    Here is the code to fill up other values in IRA entity

    DynamicEntity entity = new DynamicEntity("new_ira");
            entity["new_name"] = "programski dinosaur";
            entity["new_iznos"] = new CrmDecimal(342535);
           
            Guid entityid = service.Create(entity);
    Thank you for your help

    Hi.

    Try to use following code:

    DynamicEntity entity = new DynamicEntity("new_ira");
    
entity["new_name"] = "programski dinosaur";
    
entity[<name of contact lookup field>] = new Lookup("contact", <GUID of contact>);
    
           
    
Guid entityid = service.Create(entity);

    Hi,

    I'm a total newbie to C#.  Trying to create a custom entity record. I have created a windows service that can connect and create the CRM custom entity record  but only if I hard code the GUID's for the lookups.

    How can I pickup the GUID from the dictionary and turn it into a lookup?

     aar_assessmentresult aar_assessmentresult = new aar_assessmentresult();
 foreach (string key in dicColumnList.Keys)
                        {
                            colVal = string.Empty;
                            if (dicColumnList.TryGetValue(key, out colVal))
                            {
                             
                                //this works
                                if (key.ToString() == "AssessmentResultName")
                                {
                                    aar_assessmentresult.aar_name = colVal.Replace("'", "''");
                                }

                                //Code breaks here                               
 		if (key.ToString() == "ContactID")
                                {

                                    Guid contactid = new Guid();
                                    aar_assessmentresult.aar_contactid = new Lookup();
                                    aar_assessmentresult.aar_contactid.type = "contact";
                                    aar_assessmentresult.aar_contactid.Value = contactid;
                                }

                            }
                        }
     crmService.Create(aar_assessmentresult);
