Example

This request requires an ImportExportXml file for import. This example exports this file from CRM and then imports it back into Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

[C#]
// Set up the CRM service.
CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
// You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
token.AuthenticationType = 0; 
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
 
CrmService service = new CrmService();
service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Create the request.
ExportCompressedAllXmlRequest requestExport = new ExportCompressedAllXmlRequest();
requestExport.EmbeddedFileName = "customizations.xml";

// Execute the request.
ExportCompressedAllXmlResponse responseExport = (ExportCompressedAllXmlResponse)service.Execute(requestExport);

// Get the compressed data
byte[] compressedXML = responseExport.ExportCompressedXml;

// Create the request.
ImportCompressedAllXmlRequest request = new ImportCompressedAllXmlRequest();

// Assign the compressed data
request.CompressedCustomizationXml = compressedXML;

// Execute the request.
ImportCompressedAllXmlResponse response = (ImportCompressedAllXmlResponse)service.Execute(request);

[Visual Basic .NET]
' Set up the CRM service.
Dim token As New CrmAuthenticationToken()
' You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
token.AuthenticationType = 0
token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
 
Dim service As New CrmService()
service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

' Create the request.
Dim requestExport As New ExportCompressedAllXmlRequest()
requestExport.EmbeddedFileName = "customizations.xml"

' Execute the request.
Dim responseExport As ExportCompressedAllXmlResponse = CType(service.Execute(requestExport), ExportCompressedAllXmlResponse)

' Get the compressed data.
Dim compressedXML() As Byte = responseExport.ExportCompressedXml
