Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Unleashed

Update Method

The Update method updates data related to an instance of an entity.

This method has only one implementation and doesn’t return a value. In the same way as the Create method, it accepts one parameter of type Entity. Because all the entities in CRM inherit from the Entity base class, you can pass any Entity class to this input parameter. To use this method, you must set at least the ID property of the entity to be updated. For example, you set the accountid property if you want to update an Account.
