I am attempting to merge
contact records in CRM. The following is my code and works fine until the end line at var merged = (MergeResponse)service.Execute(merge);
I have tracers in the original code and is definitely erroring out at that specific line.
// Create the target for the request.
var target = new EntityReference();
// Id is the GUID of the account that is being merged into.
// LogicalName is the type of the entity being merged to, as a string
var targetId = (Guid)master.Attributes["contactid"];
target.LogicalName = entity.LogicalName;
// Create the request.
var merge = new MergeRequest();
// SubordinateId is the GUID of the account merging.
merge.SubordinateId = (Guid)subordinates.Attributes["contactid"];
merge.Target = target;
merge.PerformParentingChecks = false;
tracer.Trace("\nMerging contact2 into contact1 and adding " + "\"test job title from plugin\" as job title");
// Create another contact to hold new data to merge into the entity.
// If you use the subordinate account object, its data will be merged.
var updateContent = new Entity();
updateContent.LogicalName = entity.LogicalName;
updateContent["jobtitle"] = "test job title from plugin";
// Set the content you want updated on the merged account
merge.UpdateContent = updateContent;
// Execute the request.
var merged = (MergeResponse)service.Execute(merge);
The following is the error:

I'm not seeing anything specific to what the error is and am running out of options. Any extra eyes will help.
Hi,
It is very unclear by looking at the error message.
Why don't you enable profile and debug your plugin?
Another approach is to create small Console application and try to execute the same code by providing the hardcoded value for contact ids.
Please mark my answer verified if this is helpful!
