What's about FluentAPI for CRM's FetchXML ?
xml construction by concatenating strings together, can be a real pain
I'm newbie with CRM, and now I have discovered a great component Fluent, I guest, not tested yet.
For me, it's great using Fluent and not more large big strings Fetch XML (great pain)
Is the component valid for this large string Fetch XML?
Using 2 link-entity nested with filter?
Full Fetch XML in http://pastebin.com/BrvwNWDv
And attributes with alias as
< attribute name='rsg_codigodeaire' alias='new_codigocampaaaire'/>
Sample:
IOrganizationService organisationService = null; // CreateCrmService();
// construct FetchXml using fluent-api
FetchQuery query = new FetchQuery("lead")
.Filter(f => f.Gt("budgetamount", 5000))
.Attributes("fullname", "companyname", "budgetamount");
// execution requires only one single line
IReadOnlyList<Entity> result = query.RetrieveMultiple(organisationService);
foreach(Entity entity in result)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{entity["fullname"]}: {entity["budgetamount"]}");
}

I nuget must haves about CRM
http://nugetmusthaves.com/Tag/CRM?page=5CRM-Fluent-Extension but not for Fetch XMLhttp://amoedo.github.io/CRM-Fluent-Extension/
And for more complex Fetch XML: var query = new FetchQuery("contact")
.Attributes("firstname", "lastname", "fullname")
.Filter(f => f
.SubFilterOr(f2 => f2
.SubFilterAnd(f3 => f3
.Eq("firstname", "Sam")
.Eq("lastname", "Jones"))
.SubFilterAnd(f3 => f3
.Like("lastname", "%(sample)%"))))
.AllAttributes();
var fetchxml = query.ToString();
Assert.AreEqual(@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-16""?>
<fetch xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"">
<entity name=""contact"">
<filter>
<filter type=""or"">
<filter>
<condition attribute=""firstname"" operator=""eq"" value=""Sam"" />
<condition attribute=""lastname"" operator=""eq"" value=""Jones"" />
</filter>
<filter>
<condition attribute=""lastname"" operator=""like"" value=""%(sample)%"" />
</filter>
</filter>
</filter>
<attribute name=""firstname"" />
<attribute name=""lastname"" />
<attribute name=""fullname"" />
<all-attributes />
</entity>
</fetch>", fetchxml);
Any suggestions, what is your (experienced) opinions about it?
