Hi,

To be more spcecific I will provide the code that is returning error 500, I want to simple add a new contact to an existing account using SDATA, I have contact fname,lname,mail and account id.

ISDataService service = SDataDataService.mydataService();

var entry = new AtomEntry();

var payload = new SDataPayload

{

ResourceName =  "Contact",

Namespace =

"http://schemas.sage.com/dynamic/2007",

Values = {

{"LastName", txtLName.Text},

{"FirstName", txtFName.Text},

{"Email",txtEmail.Text},

}

};

payload.Values["Account"]=new SDataPayload {Key = "ADEMOA00003Q"};//this is an existing accid

entry.SetSDataPayload(payload);

var request = new SDataSingleResourceRequest(service, entry) { ResourceKind = "contacts" };

AtomEntry result = request.Create();

disregard. thought you had a misspelling.

I just did this in our implementation. Make sure that you create the related entities for the Contact (such as Address), otherwise you will get errors.

Also, when debugging, inspect the InnerException property for the Exception thrown. It usually contains the specifics; the parent error is just a generic 500 error.

Marcelo,

If you were able to resolve this update: Can you post your code?

Thanks,
