Remarks

Message Availability

For this message to work, the caller must be connected to the server.

Usage

Pass an instance of this class to the Execute method, which returns an instance of the CanBeReferencedResponse class.

Privileges and Access Rights

To perform this action, the caller must have the required privileges, as listed in CanBeReferenced message privileges.

Examples

The following example shows how to use this message. For this sample to work correctly, you must be connected to the server to get an IOrganizationService interface. For the complete sample, see the link later in this topic.
