Update a Global Option Set in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript

This illustration shows how to update a global option set (OptionSet entity) in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with UpdateOptionSetRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).
    Ok, here is what the code looks like!
    First in C#:

    //retrieve optionset to update
    RetrieveOptionSetRequest req =
     new RetrieveOptionSetRequest
     {
         //my global optionset's name
         Name = "new_testoptionset"
     };
    
    // Execute the request.
    RetrieveOptionSetResponse retrieveOptionSetResponse =
        (RetrieveOptionSetResponse)service.Execute(req);
    
    // Access the retrieved OptionSetMetadata.
    OptionSetMetadata retrievedOptionSetMetadata =
        (OptionSetMetadata)retrieveOptionSetResponse.OptionSetMetadata;
    
    // Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute.
    OptionMetadata[] optionList =
        retrievedOptionSetMetadata.Options.ToArray();
    
    //make a change (in this case, a description change)
    retrievedOptionSetMetadata.Description = new Label("My extra special test optionset", 1033);
    
    //update option set
    UpdateOptionSetRequest req2 = new UpdateOptionSetRequest();
    req2.OptionSet = retrievedOptionSetMetadata;
    UpdateOptionSetResponse resp = (UpdateOptionSetResponse)service.Execute(req2);

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

    Now in Jscript


    This example is asynchronous, if you want to learn how to make JScript SOAP calls synchronously please visit this posthttp://mileyja.blogspot.com/2011/07/using-jscript-to-access-soap-web.html

    To understand how to parse the response please review my post on using the DOM parser.
    Now you can call the SDK.SAMPLES.UpdateOptionSetRequest function from your form jscript handler.


    Thats all there is to it!
