I am trying to get records from an AS400 system into Dynamics CRM programatically. To achieve this i have pushed the AS400 records into a SQL table and am able to push those records to CRM by referencing the CRM 4 web service endpoints in a SSIS 2008 C# script.
The problem is one of the fields is in Y2K date string format. In order to get it into a date field (D.O.B) in CRM i believe i will need to convert it to a date format then reference resulting value in a variable.
I do not know how to do this.
This question/answer (http://stackoverflow.com/a/4880021/1326443) may help with part of the question but i do not know how to use this into my script to get a value (haven't done any scripting for a number of years and new to C#)
Script snippet:
public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
{
private CrmService service = null;
public override void PreExecute()
{
base.PreExecute();
CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
token.AuthenticationType = 0;
token.OrganizationName = "DevOrg";
service = new CrmService();
service.Url = "http://crm/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
}
public override void PostExecute()
{
base.PostExecute();
}
public override void LeadInput_ProcessInputRow(LeadInputBuffer Row)
{
lead cont = new lead();
if (!Row.TITL20_IsNull)
{
cont.salutation = Row.TITL20;
}
if (!Row.DOBI20_IsNull)
{
cont.new_birthdate = Row.DOBI20;
}
....
....
service.Create(cont);
}
}
}
***************
{ cont.new_birthdate = Row.DOBI20; } throws:
"cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to .....CrmSdk.CRMDateTime"
Cheers
