Create Lead using DeveloperForce toolkit for .Net

Question

I am wondering how to use toolkit for .net to create new leads, because most examples I can find on the net are created using wsdl. I want to know what do I need to do before defining lead, hot to define it and how to update it on application.

Answer 1

There are examples of creating records using the Force.com Toolkit for .NET in Nothing But .Net – Implementing CRUD Operations.

You will want something like:

public class Lead {
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public string Company { get; set; }
}

// ...


// Get the client based on your chosen authentication method
ForceClient client = new ForceClient(instanceUrl, accessToken, apiVersion);

Lead lead = new Lead() { LastName = "Doe", Company = "Acme" };

string newLeadId = await client.CreateAsync("Lead", lead);
