    If you want to write a common plugin for Create/Update/Delete events in Dynamics CRM then only you need to take care of “context.InputParameters[“Target”]”. In case of Create/Update event “context.InputParameters[“Target”] is Entity” and in case of Delete event “context.InputParameters[“Target”] is EntityReference”

    The reason ?

    Guido has been describe the reason in this link

    Message : Create, Update - Entity

    Message : Delete - EntityRefference 

    Because, Record Creation / Updation time : Entity is Available

    But, Record Deletion -- Entity was delete so EntityReferrence only available
