I have been writing some code to access CRM Web API through C# console application.
I am successfully able to fetch data from CRM after registring my app with Azure AD Service and providing client ID to during authentication process.
Upon request I am getting data in JSON format so I decided to create an early bound class for organization service and use it in order to convert JSON to crm entity object. Following is the code which I am using to do that. CrmEntities is early bound class generated from organization service.
using (var httpClient = GetHttpClient())
{
responseMessage =
await httpClient.GetAsync(URI + "(" + entityId.ToString() + ")");
//The URL will change in 2016 to include the API version - api/data/v8.0/systemusers
if (responseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
entitySource =
(new_entity)
earlyBoundSerializer.ReadObject(responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync().Result);
entitySource = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CrmEntities.new_entity>(responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
//jRetrieveResponse = JObject.Parse(responseMessage.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
}
else
return null;
}
Now here comes issue.
When I am converting Json to new_Entity its not throwing any exception but when I look at new_entity object all the values are empty. no data got populated. any idea how to overcome this?
