This is an alternative to retrieving a Contact entity through the entities layer.

The following example shows how it is done.

Code

using SuperOffice.CRM.Services;
using SuperOffice;
using(SoSession mySession = SoSession.Authenticate("SAL0", ""))
{
  //Create a Contact Agent
  ContactAgent myContactAgent = new ContactAgent();

  //Get a Contact Entity through the Contact Agent
  Contact myContact = myContactAgent.GetContact(4);

  //Retrieving the Name Property of the Contact
  string name = myContact.Name;
}

Walk-through

First, you need to create a ContactAgent. Then we can retrieve a Contact entity carrier by passing the Contact_id to the GetContact method. At this moment, all the properties of this particular contact will be passed to memory from the database. Now you can access all the properties of this contact via this newly created Contact carrier.
