When creating a contact using the SData Client DLL, receive the following message

Message = An exception occurred executing the dynamic method Contact.OnBeforeInsert.

Src = Sage.SData.Client

Stack =    at Sage.SData.Client.Cor
e.SDataService.CreateEntry(String url, AtomEntry entry)
   at Sage.SData.Client.Core.SDataService.CreateEntry(SDataBaseRequest request,
AtomEntry entry)

\SalesLogix Contact SData.cs:line 381

Have been unable to locate any reference to Contact.OnBeforeInsert on the web or in documents.

Please note that I can successfully retrieve a contact record using the SData Client and therefore are connecting to the web service correctly

Have you populated an Address for the Contact? Account?

Thanks for the info

I found that in order to create a contact the following payload details are required

FirstName, LastName, Account, AccountName,  Address

e.g.

payload.Values["FirstName"] = "Test";
payload.Values["LastName"] = "User";
payload.Values["Account"] = new SDataPayload { Key = "AA2EK0013502" };
payload.Values["AccountName"] = "Flow Matic";
payload.Values["Address"] = new SDataPayload { Key = "AA2EK0013502" };

Found that the eventvwr application log was far more beneficial that an exception or inner exception messages.

Hi Andy,

Can you post your full code on inserting data using sdata? I am also having problem with my code.

Thanks
