I've built a plugin with no issues and registered it using plug-in registration tool with no problem but its seems like it has no effect the plug-in force calculation for a roll-up field named rejected on vacancies entity where rejected is the count of application that if status =inactive

Anyway i used a custom workflow from workflow tool CodePlex named force \recalculate roll up fields which work fine and automatically perform roll ups once status goes into inactive but the issues is when i deleted the record the workflow didn't trigger in real time which force me to make a plugin i will provide a screen shots about my plugin to explain everything

the plug-in it-self which force calculation whenever a change occur

here is how i registered the plug

5822.Capture2.PNG

in on update if attributes rejected or active changed which by them i mean the fields changed make force the roll to occur

sorry for the long question

Best Regards

RE: plug in seems that it has no effect

Hii, lately i created a plugin to update the quantity on child entity when the parent entity is deleted. I dont know if its meet your requirement or not. But i thinks it will help a bit.

Please take a look at my code:

public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceprovider) { IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceprovider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext)); IOrganizationServiceFactory servicefactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceprovider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory)); IOrganizationService service = servicefactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId); if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference) { //If Delete, you should use "entityReference". Not Entity EntityReference entityreference = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"]; if (context.MessageName == "Delete") { Entity ent = service.Retrieve(entityreference.LogicalName, entityreference.Id, new ColumnSet("new_productname")); // Product Name is a Look Up Field That Contain the name of product which i want to update the quantity. var productname = ent.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("new_productname"); if (productname != null) { // Getting quantity field from child entity Entity product = service.Retrieve(productname.LogicalName, productname.Id, new ColumnSet("new_quantity")); // Update the quantity on child entity var number = product.GetAttributeValue<Decimal>("new_quantity"); var sisaunit = number + 1; product.Attributes["new_quantity"] = sisaunit; service.Update(product); } }

Best Regars

First,

i am assuming your application is child entity and vicancy is in parent entity.

if you are using post operation, you should include the preimage , in order to get your parent entity id , and do the rollup.

you should register your plugin Message as Delete, if you plan to trigger the plugin during Delete.

if you are using workflow, you should checked the Delete as picture shown below.

I think you should write the plugin on delete of the application entity. Get the guid of the vacancy entity from the lookup field and execute the rollup calculation request.
