Add Multiple Entities (Members) to a Marketing List in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript

This illustration shows how to add a list of entities (members) to a marketing list in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with AddListMembersListRequest. This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).

Note: The entity type you add to your marketing list must be consistent with the entity type for the list and must be either an account, contact, or a lead.

Ok, here is what the code looks like!

First in C#:

AddListMembersListRequest req = new AddListMembersListRequest();
req.ListId = new Guid("6CAC04FC-930F-E111-8DB2-1CC1DEF1B5FF");
//add the new list of marketing list memnbers
req.MemberIds = new System.Guid[2];
req.MemberIds[0] = new Guid("DCB265C9-5F0C-E111-BF0B-1CC1DEE89AA8");
req.MemberIds[1] = new Guid("E4B265C9-5F0C-E111-BF0B-1CC1DEE89AA8");
AddListMembersListResponse resp = (AddListMembersListResponse)service.Execute(req);

Now here is the Jscript nicely formatted by the CRM 2011 SOAP formatter. Available at: http://crm2011soap.codeplex.com/

Now in Jscript

if (typeof (SDK) == "undefined")    { SDK = { __namespace: true }; }        //This will establish a more unique namespace for functions in this library. This will reduce the         // potential for functions to be overwritten due to a duplicate name when the library is loaded.        SDK.SAMPLES = {            _getServerUrl: function () {                ///
                /// Returns the URL for the SOAP endpoint using the context information available in the form                /// or HTML Web resource.                ///
                var OrgServicePath = "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";                var serverUrl = "";                if (typeof GetGlobalContext == "function") {                    var context = GetGlobalContext();                    serverUrl = context.getServerUrl();                }                else {                    if (typeof Xrm.Page.context == "object") {                          serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl();                    }                    else                    { throw new Error("Unable to access the server URL"); }                    }                   if (serverUrl.match(/\/$/)) {                        serverUrl = serverUrl.substring(0, serverUrl.length - 1);                    }                     return serverUrl + OrgServicePath;                },             AddListMembersListRequest: function () {                var requestMain = ""                requestMain += "";                requestMain += "  ";                requestMain += "    ";                requestMain += "      ";                requestMain += "        ";                requestMain += "          ";                requestMain += "            ListId";                requestMain += "            6cac04fc-930f-e111-8db2-1cc1def1b5ff";                requestMain += "          ";                requestMain += "          ";                requestMain += "            MemberIds";                requestMain += "            ";                requestMain += "              dcb265c9-5f0c-e111-bf0b-1cc1dee89aa8";                requestMain += "              e4b265c9-5f0c-e111-bf0b-1cc1dee89aa8";                requestMain += "            ";                requestMain += "          ";                requestMain += "        ";                requestMain += "        ";                requestMain += "        AddListMembersList";                requestMain += "      ";                requestMain += "    ";                requestMain += "  ";                requestMain += "";                var req = new XMLHttpRequest();                req.open("POST", SDK.SAMPLES._getServerUrl(), true)                // Responses will return XML.

Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.AddListMembersListRequest function from your form jscript handler.

Thats all there is to it!
