CRM 3.0 SDK Contact Merge
I'm using the following code, which is pretty much right out of the sdk documentation example:Dim targetAsNew TargetMergeContactDim mergeReqAsNew MergeRequest
target.EntityId = contactCRM(Pri).contactid.Value
mergeReq.SubordinateId = contactCRM(Sec).contactid.Value
mergeReq.Target = target
Dim mergedAs MergeResponse =CType(crm.Execute(mergeReq), MergeResponse)
I get a "Server was unable to process the request." error on the last line. I am using an account with System Administrator privileges. I have verified that I can write contact information using the SDK, so this problem is merge specific.
Is there a way that merging could be disabled? If so, how do I enable it?
"More detailed" error:
<error> <code>0x80040203</code> <description>Invalid argument.</description> <type>Platform</type> </error>
I have also verified that the guid's are correct and are being properly assigned to both target and mergeReq.

You must set the UpdateContent property of the MergeRequest for the code to work.
The latest version of the SDK release has the correct sample code.
// Create the request.
MergeRequest merge = new MergeRequest();
// SubordinateId is the GUID of the account merging.
merge.SubordinateId = new Guid("AD618DB2-F0DB-4A6A-8C4B-2F2213EAA38E");
merge.Target = target;
merge.PerformParentingChecks = false;
account updateContent = new account();
updateContent.address1_line1 = "test";
merge.UpdateContent = updateContent;
// Execute the request.
MergeResponse merged = (MergeResponse)service.Execute(merge);
You can find the sample code online at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa682826.aspx.
