Delete an Entity Record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Using Silverlight

This tutorial will show you how to delete an entity record in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 using C# in Silverlight.

First things first.  You have to set up your Silverlight app to make a web services connection to CRM.   The best tutorial I have found for this is located here in the MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg594452.aspx

Here is the call in C#:

//delete request
OrganizationRequest request = new OrganizationRequest() { RequestName = "Delete" };
EntityReference entrefDeleteTarget = new EntityReference();
entrefDeleteTarget.Id = new Guid("A42D83C5-5E61-E111-AC43-1CC1DEF1B5FF");
entrefDeleteTarget.LogicalName = "account";
request["Target"] = entrefDeleteTarget;


IOrganizationService service = SilverlightUtility.GetSoapService();

service.BeginExecute(request, new AsyncCallback(AccountDelete_ClickCallback), service);

You will notice that the biggest change in thinking and syntax will be that you have to specify your request and response properties as strings explicitly in code.

- I hope this helps!!
