Create an e-mail in CRM 3.0

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

I have been able to make lots of e-mails in CRM 1.2.

For the life of me, I cannot seem to figure out how to get them to work in
3.0. Here is my code:

activityparty[] activitypartyFrom;
activitypartyFrom[0].addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyFrom[0].partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyFrom[0].participationtypemask.Value = 1;


activityparty[] activitypartyTo;
activitypartyTo[0].addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyTo[0].partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyTo[0].participationtypemask.Value = 2;


email.to = activitypartyTo;
email.from = activitypartyFrom;
email.subject = "This is a test";

This code will not even compile properly.

I have also tried this:

activityparty activitypartyFrom;
activitypartyFrom.addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyFrom.partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyFrom.participationtypemask.Value = 1;


activityparty activitypartyTo;
activitypartyTo.addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyTo.partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyTo.participationtypemask.Value = 2;


email.to = activitypartyTo;
email.from = activitypartyFrom;
email.subject = "This is a test";


AND I have tried this:


activityparty activitypartyFrom = new activityparty();
activitypartyFrom.addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyFrom.partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyFrom.participationtypemask.Value = 1;


activityparty activitypartyTo = new activityparty();
activitypartyTo.addressused = HDEmailAddress;
activitypartyTo.partyid.name = HDGuid;
activitypartyTo.participationtypemask.Value = 2;


email.to = activitypartyTo;
email.from = activitypartyFrom;
email.subject = "This is a test";

I am getting conversion issues of arraylists and activityparty types. I
understand this error, but cannot seem to figure out how to resolve it. Can
someone post me an example code of how to create and send an e-mail
programmatically in CRM v3.0.

Regards,
Keener

This works for me:

// Create the email
email myEmail = new email();

// Set Email's Properties
myEmail.subject = "some subject;
myEmail.description = "some description";

// From/To
activityparty party = new activityparty();
party.partyid = new Lookup();
party.partyid.type = EntityName.systemuser.ToString();
party.partyid.Value = someGuid;

myEmail.from = new activityparty[] {party};
myEmail.to = new activityparty[] {party};

Guid emailId = _service.Create(myEmail);

// Get a TrackingToken
GetTrackingTokenEmailRequest getTrackingToken = new
GetTrackingTokenEmailRequest();
getTrackingToken.Subject = myEmail.subject;
GetTrackingTokenEmailResponse getTrackingTokenResponse =
(GetTrackingTokenEmailResponse)_service.Execute(getTrackingToken);

// Send the email
SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest();
request.EmailId = emailId;
request.IssueSend = true;
request.TrackingToken = getTrackingTokenResponse.TrackingToken;

HTH,

Thank you very much Jeffry. I have a question for you. WHERE DID YOU FIND
OUT HOW TO DO THIS? I looked in the SDK documentation and nuthin!!! Did I
miss this or does Microsoft expect people to use copious amounts of time
"stumbling" through stuff like this. Where Microsoft is the documentation
for this, so I don't have to waste an entire morning struggling how to find
out how this documentation works?

Thanks again Jeffry.

Keener

No, you didnt' miss it. I did spent some time figuring this out. Creating
the email actually was the easy part. Sending it took the most time to
figure out.
