Hello,

 

I am developing a mobile app and using Common Data Service entities as back end database. I am not able to connect directly to entities through xamarin form. 

Please let me know what is the best method to connect entities from mobile app 

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

    Hi @RajeshLohar ,

     

    If you intend to connect to CDS using Power Apps you can follow the guide provided in our documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/add-data-connection

     

    To add the data source you need to first select the connection you would like to have (e.g. CDS) and then authenticate in order to have this connection available to use in powerapps.

     

    If your answer is more focus to connecting CDS to xamarin try and see if this GitHub post helps: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-cds-workrides-sample/blob/master/cds/README.md

     

    Hope this information was useful!

     

    Regards,

    Ricardo
