Retrieve OptionSet Text in CRM 2011 using C#

Hi All, In CRM 2011 we have two types of Option Sets. one will be normal Option set Filed and the other one will be Global Option Set. Lets see how to retrieve Option Set Text for both types.

Retrieve Normal(Local) Option Set Text


// Get Normal option set Text
string optionsetText = entity.FormattedValues["new_optionset"];

or

string optionsetText = entity.GetFormattedAttributeValue("new_optionset");

Retrieve Global Option Set Text

int OptionsetValue = ((Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OptionSetValue)entity["new_localoptionset"]).Value;
string GlobaloptionsetText= GetOptionsetText(entity, service, "new_globaloptionset", OptionsetValue );



  // Retrieves Global Option set Selected Text
        // Parameters: 1. Entity Name   2. Service  3. Global Option Set Name   4. optionset selected value
        public string GetOptionsetText(Entity entity, IOrganizationService service,string  optionsetName,int optionsetValue)
        {
            string optionsetSelectedText = string.Empty;
            try
            {


                RetrieveOptionSetRequest retrieveOptionSetRequest =
                    new RetrieveOptionSetRequest
                    {
                        Name = optionsetName
                    };

                // Execute the request.
                RetrieveOptionSetResponse retrieveOptionSetResponse =
                    (RetrieveOptionSetResponse)service.Execute(retrieveOptionSetRequest);

                // Access the retrieved OptionSetMetadata.
                OptionSetMetadata retrievedOptionSetMetadata = (OptionSetMetadata)retrieveOptionSetResponse.OptionSetMetadata;

                // Get the current options list for the retrieved attribute.
                OptionMetadata[] optionList = retrievedOptionSetMetadata.Options.ToArray();
                foreach (OptionMetadata optionMetadata in optionList)
                {
                    if (optionMetadata.Value == optionsetValue)
                    {
                        optionsetSelectedText = optionMetadata.Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label.ToString();
break;
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {


                throw;
            }
            return optionsetSelectedText;
        }

===========================================


// Gets Local/Normal optionset Lable using Metadata Service
         public static string GetoptionsetText(string entityName, string attributeName, int optionSetValue, IOrganizationService service)
         {
             string AttributeName = attributeName;
             string EntityLogicalName = entityName;
             RetrieveEntityRequest retrieveDetails = new RetrieveEntityRequest
             {
                 EntityFilters = EntityFilters.All,
                 LogicalName = EntityLogicalName
             };
             RetrieveEntityResponse retrieveEntityResponseObj = (RetrieveEntityResponse)service.Execute(retrieveDetails);
             Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.EntityMetadata metadata = retrieveEntityResponseObj.EntityMetadata;
             Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata picklistMetadata = metadata.Attributes.FirstOrDefault(attribute => String.Equals

(attribute.LogicalName, attributeName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) as Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.PicklistAttributeMetadata;
             Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Metadata.OptionSetMetadata options = picklistMetadata.OptionSet;
             IList<OptionMetadata> OptionsList = (from o in options.Options
                                                     where o.Value.Value == optionSetValue
                                                     select o).ToList();
             string optionsetLabel = (OptionsList.First()).Label.UserLocalizedLabel.Label;
             return optionsetLabel;
         }

happy coding :)
