Insert a StatusCode into a StatusCode List in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using .NET or Jscript

This illustration shows how to insert a statuscode (status code) into a statuscode list in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with InsertStatusValueRequest.   This example will be given in Jscript (SOAP) and in C# (.NET).
    Ok, here is what the code looks like!
    First in C#:

    InsertStatusValueRequest req = new InsertStatusValueRequest();
    req.EntityLogicalName = Account.EntityLogicalName;
    req.AttributeLogicalName = "statuscode";
    //statecode can be chosen below but will default to Active state if not specified
    //req.StateCode = 1;
    //1033 below represents localeId for the United States and English
    req.Label = new Label("Special Status2", 1033);
    InsertStatusValueResponse resp = (InsertStatusValueResponse)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


    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.InsertStatusValueRequest function from your form jscript handler.


    Thats all there is to it!
