Get Object type code for MSCRM entities

•  Using SQL Query :-

Query>

SELECT ObjectTypeCode,*

FROM

ENTITYVIEW

Using JScript  :-

• The “ObjectTypeCode” can be extracted from Query String using JScript
• “ObjectTypeCode” resides in “etc” query string  parameter
• Below is the JScript statement to get “ObjectTypeCode”

var currEntityObjTypeCode= Xrm.Page.context.getQueryStringParameters().etc

Key Points

• Type codes below 10,000 are reserved for OOB entities.
• Custom entities have a value greater than or equal to 10,000.

Note:- Custom entity object type codes may change during import and are not guaranteed to be the same between systems.

var result = lookupService.Execute();

if (result.Success && typeof result.ReturnValue == “number”) {

return result.ReturnValue;
