CRMDiscountType.Activate Method

The Activate method activates a discount type.

Syntax

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Sub Activate(
  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal strDiscountTypeId As String,
  ByVal Status As Integer
)
[C#]
public void Activate(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  strDiscountTypeId,
  int  Status
);
[C++]
public: void Activate(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  strDiscountTypeId,
  long  Status
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. The caller must have the prvWriteProduct privilege to perform this action. See CUserAuth.

DiscountTypeId

Specifies the ID of the discount type that is to be activated.

Status

Specifies the new status of the discount type. You can use this parameter to specify application status. See Remarks.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

Note   The Status parameter corresponds to Status Reason in the Microsoft CRM application. If you pass -1 for this parameter, the platform  sets the status to the appropriate value for the Microsoft CRM application. You can use the RetrieveStatus method to retrieve the status codes used in the application.

If there is an error, SOAP throws an exception and the error message is reported in System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException.Detail.OuterXml.

All IDs passed to the platform are GUIDs wrapped in braces. For example: {6522D89A-A752-4455-A2B0-51494C6957C3}

Example

[C#]
// strServer should be set with the name of the platform Web server
string strServer = "myservername";

// virtualDirectory should be set with the name of the Microsoft CRM
// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";

// CRMDiscountType proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMDiscountType  discounttype = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMDiscountType();
discounttype.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
discounttype.Url = strDir + "CRMDiscounttype.srf";

string strErrorMsg;
try
{
   Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   string strDiscountTypeId = "{48EAEC97-AK9E-6671-9022-7DKCFBD0F0E3}";

   // Activate the discount type
   discounttype.Activate(userAuth, strDiscountTypeId, -1);
}
catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException err)
{
   // Process the platform error here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message + " " + err.Detail.OuterXml + " Source: " + err.Source );
}
catch (Exception err)
{
   // Process other errors here
   strErrorMsg = ("ErrorMessage: " + err.Message );
}
