The below example demonstrates the use of entities in retrieving a list of persons for a given contact.

using SuperOffice.CRM.Entities;
using SuperOffice;
using(SoSession mySession = SoSession.Authenticate("SAL0",""))
{
//retrieve the contact that the person we want belongs to
  Contact myContact = Contact.GetFromIdxContactId(21);
  //retrieve the person collection
  PersonCollection myPersons = myContact.Persons;
  if (myPersons.Count > 0)
  {
    //Iterate through the persons collection and show the name in a combo box
    foreach (Person myPerson in myPersons)
    {
      cmbPersonName.Items.Add(myPerson.Firstname + " " + myPerson.Lastname);
    }
  }
}

In the above example, we retrieve the contact of the person we want to retrieve. Since we are retrieving an entity it contains the person that belongs to it as a property so that we can take the person to a person’s collection.

Once we have the persons in the person’s collection we can iterate through it access any of its properties. In the above example, we are accessing the FirstName and the LastName property and showing them in a combo box.
