    plug-in function:

    try

    {

    // your code

    }

    catch {}

    Will execute without any troubles.

    They will all file at event, you will register them.

    You will need to use the Execution Order property during plugin step registration.

    As described below you can even configure it with this tool later:

    community.dynamics.com/.../new-xrmtoolbox-plugin-synchronous-events-execution-order-Editor

    You also need to look out for the Depth variable of your execution context. You might fire one of plugins multiple times depending on what updates or actions you do in your plugin.

    [quote user="Andreas Cieslik"]You also need to look out for the Depth variable of your execution context[/quote]

    But here you need to know one think:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.iexecutioncontext.depth.aspx

    The maximum depth (8) and time limit (one hour) are configurable by the Microsoft Dynamics 365 administrator using the PowerShell command Set-CrmSetting. The setting is WorkflowSettings.MaxDepth. For more information, see, “Administer the deployment using Windows PowerShell” in the Deploying and administering Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

    Hi,

    I know this is 10 days old, even I want you to suggest for this,

    If you are creating multiple plugins for same entity, then follow these 3.

    1) First differentiate Plugins to Async and Sync (Based on need of result),

    2) Still you have multiple Synchronous Plugins then set execution order.

    3) After that sometimes you might get infinite loop error because of these multiple plugins. If you face this kind of error, then use Context.Depth for prevent this kind of errors.

    Hope it helps you.
