first post to this forum! I am seeing some odd behaviour when trying to create a contract. Basically, a whole bunch of fields do not show up with values, even though no error is generated, and I can see the values prior to the create call.
For example, the contract created by my test case below does not end up having a start date or an end date or a contract term. In more complex examples, it also applies to some of my custom fields. Can anyone verify this on their set-up, and/or suggest any solutions?
Here's the code:
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click Dim sfSession As sforce.SforceService Dim sfcs(0) As sforce.Contract Dim sfR(0) As sforce.SaveResult sfcs(0) = New sforce.Contract sfcs(0).Name = "Test contract" sfcs(0).StartDate = #1/1/2004# sfcs(0).ContractTerm = 24 'use any known AccountID here sfcs(0).AccountId = "001200000022brN" 'use your own values for the login sfSession = Login(txtSFUsername.Text, txtSFPassword.Text) sfR = sfSession.create(sfcs) If sfR(0).success Then Trace.WriteLine("Success - ID " & sfR(0).id) Else Trace.WriteLine("Failure: " & sfR(0).errors(0).message) End If MsgBox("Complete") End Sub Private Function Login(ByVal Username As String, ByVal Password As String) As sforce.SforceService Dim sfSession As New sforce.SforceService Dim objSFloginRes As sforce.LoginResult objSFloginRes = sfSession.login(Username, Password) sfSession.SessionHeaderValue = New sforce.SessionHeader sfSession.SessionHeaderValue.sessionId = objSFloginRes.sessionId sfSession.Url = objSFloginRes.serverUrl Return sfSession End Function
If I assign a Lead to a queue using the API, by assigning its OwnerID to the Id of the queue, no email notification seems to be fired which is annoying. Is this expected behaviour?
If I created a lead using the API but instead of assigning its ownerID to a queue, I specified a specific assignment rule, so that the lead is put into the right queue rather than directly, could I expect the email notification then?
It would be tedious to have to generate my own notification messages.

I'm trying to use a query to determine if any new Accounts where created over a certain date range. I keep getting a "MALFORMED QUERY" exception for my datetime value. Looking at the API docs, it says I need to use the date format "2005-10-24" or "2005-10-24T12:11:00" (which is what I'm using).
I think the problem is when I pass the DateTime object into the query string, the API calls ToString() on it and ToString() always formats the date to "10/24/2005" which causes the exception.
I'm using .NET C# environment.
Here's a code snippet:
DateTime startDate = DateTime.ParseExact("2005-10-24T00:00:00", "s", cultureInfo); QueryResult result = _sforceService.query("select FirstName, LastName, CreatedDate from Contact where CreatedDate >= " + startDate);
