CREATE DYNAMICS 365 ENTITY IN SDK

In this post, we will learn how to create a Dynamics 365 custom entity in SDK and how to set some of its properties.

1. The below function can be used to create a custom entity
   
   public void CreateEntity()
   {
   CreateEntityRequest createrequest = new CreateEntityRequest
   {
   Entity = new EntityMetadata
   {
   SchemaName = "cak_CustomEntity",
   DisplayName = new Label("Custom Entity", 1033),
   DisplayCollectionName = new Label("Custom Entities", 1033),
   Description = new Label("Custom entity created using SDK", 1033),
   OwnershipType = OwnershipTypes.UserOwned,
   IsActivity = false,
   IsBusinessProcessEnabled = true,
   IsAuditEnabled = new BooleanManagedProperty(true),
   IsSLAEnabled = false,
   },
   PrimaryAttribute = new StringAttributeMetadata
   {
   SchemaName = "cak_name",
   RequiredLevel = new AttributeRequiredLevelManagedProperty(AttributeRequiredLevel.None),
   MaxLength = 100,
   FormatName = StringFormatName.Text,
   DisplayName = new Label("Name", 1033),
   Description = new Label("Primary attribute for the custom entity.", 1033)
   },
   HasActivities = true,
   HasNotes = true,
   SolutionUniqueName = "CAK",
   };
   try
   {
   var result = AdminService.Execute(createrequest);
   if (result.Results != null)
   Console.WriteLine("Custom Entity successfully created!");
   }
   catch (Exception e)
   {
   Console.WriteLine($"Error while creating the custom entity. \n\rError message: {e.Message}");
   }
   }
   
   
2. Based on your needs, you can add or remove the properties you want to set for the entity you want to create or its primary field
   
   
   
   
   
3. If you want to add the created entity to a specific unmanaged solution, you can set the solution name accordingly in the SolutionUniqueName property
   
   
   

Hope This Helps!
