            IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
                context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];


                try

                            service.Create(Contact);


                        }

    RE: is this code correct ? plugin code i have written to delete account entity record and create contact record automatically

    Hi,

    In your code change the following line:

    if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
    context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference)

    To:

    if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
    context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)

    If it still does not work, I would suggest:

    • Disable the plugin step.
    • Delete the Account and observe if you see any errors.
    • If it works, try creating a Contact from the UI (with the same user, you are registering plugin with). 
    • If there are no errors, please make sure you have followed the proper steps:
      • Your project should be a C# .Net Class Library.
      • You have installed the latest version of the SDK Assemblies

    If you are unsure of SDK Assemblies, re-create you project based on following steps:

    Hi,

    Thank you for your query.

    Code is correct or not depends on the requirement. If you can give a little back-ground on the scenario, it would be great.

    However, I can see following problems right-away:

    • This plugin will only run on Delete (as per you code, if this is as per your requirement it is okay).
    • You are creating Contact record without setting any attributes (Like Name, Email etc.). At least set the Name.

    To se the name, you can set the attribute:

    Contact.Attributes["firstname"] = "John";

    Contact.Attributes["lastname"] = "Doe";

    Sorry! Your code provided is incomplete. Is your requirement to delete and create record? if so, you need to first fire your plugin on an event basically. For creation, you need to map the field values before calling service.Create(Contact); like below.

    Entity contact = new Entity("contact");

    contact["firstname"] = "Test";

    contact["lastname"] = "Contact";

    service.Create(contact);

    You can always refer microsoft docs for your reference on how to write a plugin.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../tutorial-write-plug-in

    Hope this helps :)
