  ByVal Caller As CUserAuth,
  ByVal Owner As CSecurityPrincipal,
  ByVal ColumnSetXML As String
) As String
[C#]
public string RetrieveByPrincipal(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  CSecurityPrincipal  Owner,
  string  ColumnSetXML
);
[C++]
public: String* RetrieveByPrincipal(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  CSecurityPrincipal*  Owner,
  String*  ColumnSetXML
);

Parameters

Caller

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

Principal

Specifies the security principal for which notes are to be retrieved. This is the owning user of the notes. See CSecurityPrincipal.

ColumnSetXML

Specifies an XML string describing the set of columns that are to be retrieved. Passing "" or null returns all columns. You can find the valid column in annotation.xsd. See also ColumnSetXML Schema.

Return Value

Returns a String type that specifies the XML data containing the set of notes associated with the specified security principal. The fields that are returned depend on what fields are specified in the ColumnSetXML parameter. The XML schema is described by annotation.xsd.

Remarks

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";

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

string strErrorMsg;
try
{

   Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CUserAuth userAuth = bizUser.WhoAmI();

   // Set up the columns that you want to retrieve
   string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
   strColumnSetXml += "<column>annotationid</column>";
   strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";

   // Create a new security principal
   Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal securityPrincipal = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CSecurityPrincipal();
   securityPrincipal.Id = userAuth.UserId;
   securityPrincipal.Type = Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.SecurityPrincipalType.sptUser;

   // Retrieve all of the notes for the specified security principal
   string strResultXml = notesmanager.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)
