Console.WriteLine("Retrieved {0} Many-to-Many relationship by Name", retrieveManyToManyResponse.RelationshipMetadata.MetadataId);


'You can use either the Name or the MetadataId of the relationship.

'Retrieve the One-to-many relationship using the MetadataId.
Dim retrieveOneToManyRequest As RetrieveRelationshipRequest =
 New RetrieveRelationshipRequest With {.MetadataId = _oneToManyRelationshipId}
Dim retrieveOneToManyResponse As RetrieveRelationshipResponse =
 CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(retrieveOneToManyRequest), RetrieveRelationshipResponse)
