Force SDK to create Appointment programmatically in crm 2013 onPremise

Posted 2020-08-07 youfeng

As I know based on this:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334289.aspx

and

community.dynamics.com/.../book-an-appointment-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011-using-c-or-jscript.aspx

This request is to validate and book appointment if valid.

_appointmentId = booked.ValidationResult.ActivityId;

                   // Verify that the appointment has been scheduled.

                   if (_appointmentId != Guid.Empty)

I would suggest you to create your own pop up.

The logic is

you add one more Else after

if (_appointmentId != Guid.Empty)

It does mean the user is not available, and since you are building windows app, create your own window, and you can force it by skipping this validation, instead, using your own pop up, and if the user says yes, you just create appointment using common create request.

So, if the BookRquest is properly used for validation and booking purpose, see this as well:

Description = "Test Appointment created using the BookRequest Message.",

Then to force, you just create an Appointment using standard Create message:

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334604.aspx

or

public void CreateRequiredRecords()

       {

           // Create a contact

           Contact newContact = new Contact

           {

               FirstName = "Lisa",

               LastName = "Andrews",

               EMailAddress1 = "[email protected]"

           };

           _contactId = _serviceProxy.Create(newContact);

           Console.WriteLine("Created contact: {0}.", newContact.FirstName + " " + newContact.LastName);

           // Create ab activity party

           ActivityParty requiredAttendee = new ActivityParty

           {

               PartyId = new EntityReference(Contact.EntityLogicalName, _contactId)

           };

           // Create an appointment

           Appointment newAppointment = new Appointment

           {

               Subject = "Test Appointment",

               Description = "Test Appointment",

               ScheduledStart = DateTime.Now.AddHours(1),

               ScheduledEnd = DateTime.Now.AddHours(2),

               Location = "Office",

               RequiredAttendees = new ActivityParty[] {requiredAttendee}

           };

           _appointmentId = _serviceProxy.Create(newAppointment);

           Console.WriteLine("Created {0}.", newAppointment.Subject);

       }

Thank you.
