How to delete account in dynamics crm using c#? (I loaded list account using gridview, I don't get accountid)

Answer 1

The below code will search Account entity with name as test account, retrieve & then delete it. I assume you have initialized IOrganizationService with connection string to your CRM.

IOrganizationService service; //initialize this

QueryByAttribute query = new QueryByAttribute();
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet("name");
query.Attributes.AddRange("name");
query.Values.AddRange("test account"); 

Entity accountEntity = service.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities.FirstOrDefault(); 

if (accountEntity != null) 
{
    Guid accountID = accountEntity.Id;
    service.Delete("account", accountID);
}

You need to get the account id by using the Retrieve multiple require or you need to hardcode the GUID to delete the record.

Above your code will always return empty GUID because you are creating a new object here.
