CRMEmailTemplate.RetrieveByPrincipal Method
The RetrieveByPrincipal method retrieves all personal e-mail templates that are owned by the specified security principal (user or team).
Syntax
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function RetrieveByPrincipal(
ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
ByVal SecurityPrincipal As CSecurityPrincipal,
ByVal ColumnSetXML As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveByPrincipal(
CUserAuth Caller,
CSecurityPrincipal SecurityPrincipal,
string ColumnSetXML
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveByPrincipal(
CUserAuth* Caller,
CSecurityPrincipal* SecurityPrincipal,
String* ColumnSetXML
);
Parameters
Caller
Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvReadEmailTemplate privilege and access rights on the objects being retrieved. See CUserAuth.
SecurityPrincipal
Specifies the security principal for which templates are to be retrieved. See CSecurityPrincipal.
ColumnSetXML
Specifies an XML string describing the set of columns to be retrieved. Passing an empty string or null returns all columns (Nothing or "" in VB .NET). You can find the valid column names in template.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.
Return Value
Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the set of templates associated with the specified security principal. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSetXML parameter. This XML string is in the format
<templates> + template1..N + </templates>
where the XML schema for each template is described by template.xsd.
Remarks
Unlike the Retrieve method, the XML string returned from this method may contain multiple objects. If no objects are returned the method simply returns an XML document for the object type with no data.
The XML string returned from this method does not contain elements for fields where the value is null or contains empty strings. This improves performance by not sending more XML data than is necessary from the server to the client.
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.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMEmailTemplate proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMEmailTemplate emailtemplate = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMEmailTemplate();
emailtemplate.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
emailtemplate.Url = strDir + "CRMEmailTemplate.srf";
string strErrorMsg;
try
{
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();
// Create a new security principal
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal securityPrincipal = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal();
securityPrincipal.Id = userAuth.UserId;
securityPrincipal.Type = Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.SecurityPrincipalType.sptUser;
// Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>templateid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>subject</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";
// Now retrieve the e-mail template XML data
string strResultsXml = emailtemplate.RetrieveByPrincipal (userAuth, securityPrincipal, strColumnSetXml);
}
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 );
}
