title: How to: Consume MS CRM Web Services from C#?
body: <p>I have to Add, Update and make Inquiry (search) on an entity in MS CRM (Dynamics) Web Service using C#.</p>
  
  <p>Now there are two entities Account and Contact in MS CRM both of them can be used for storing customer Information; which entity shall be used for above operation? </p>
  
  <p>I am told that I have to use “CRMService” web service of MS CRM that will provide common methods for Create, Retrieve, Retrieve Multiple, Update, Delete and Fetch for every entity. Is there any web service called crmservice?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have developed/deployed several web services, but I have never done anything over MS CRM. I am not sure how to jump-start the development? </p>
  
  <p>Just thinking, I should create a project, add the web service link in to my VS2005 IDE, and call the web methods? Is that all? Wouldnt I be needing MS CRM SDK? And if yes, then which dlls I would be using? And then again, how to start using it?</p>
  
  <p>Any help/links/pointers/diagrams/articles/etc would be highly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
