I have a custom .net dll that creates a company record from a person record. I also have a button on the Person Summary screen to call create company In the custom dll.

What I would like to do is to implement company deduplication prior to creating the company record in the CRM database. Is there a way that I can call the standard company deduplication functionality from my dll based on the full name of the newly created person? If an existing company is chosen, its id has to be written back to the newly created person record.

Please can someone advise me.
