Hi,
I'm studying plug-in. I tried creating a simple code to understand it better, there's no error but is not working.
Can someone help me in understanding what;s wrong with the code.
if (entity.LogicalName != "opportunity")
return;
Entity opp = new Entity("opportunity");
opp["currentsituation"] = "testing plug-in"

There are a couple of things in your code that look suspicious(and yes, have a look at all the links above):
1) if you are creating a new entity object in code, you have to call service.Create(entity) at some point to create it in the database.. or you have to call service.Update(entity) to update a record in the database (in which case you need to assign an id: opp.Id = entity.Id)
2) If your intent was to call an "update", then you can use pre-operation or post-operation plugin. In the pre-operatio, you can simply update the plugin target. All those changes will go to the database - no need to create a new object. In the post operation, it's better to create a new in-memory entity, assign Id, and call service.Update.. but you'll have to make sure the plugin does not go into recursion either by specifying the right attributes on the plugin step, or by adding a condition if(context.Depth > 1) return;
Hi Arci,
you request is not clear/complete.
I suggest you, as Guillaume, to take a short plugin tutorial with this video:

Please update complete code.. below line of code is fine.
if (entity.LogicalName != "opportunity")
return;
Entity opp = new Entity("opportunity");
opp["currentsituation"] = "testing plug-in";
Hi Arci,
Learning Plugin is very easy.
Check this,

Can you share complete code and some details about registration ?? And how you are testing it.
Thanks

Hi refer this it may help u
PLUGIN FOR CREATION AND UPDATION:
Opoen visual studio ->file->new project->select Class library , give name and location for that library and save.
Now add References->include dll file-> Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk and Runtime serialization assemblies. For inherit the Iplugin interface to the class.
System.Runtime.Serialization:
The System.Runtime.Serialization namespace contains classes that can be used for serializing and deserializing objects.
Serialization is the process of converting an object or a graph of objects into a linear sequence of bytes for either storage or transmission to another location..
For example ;
For serializing the process of Updation or creation we need to include System.Runtime.Serialization.
Entity hospital = new Entity();
hospital.LogicalName = "new_hospital";
if (Country != Guid.Empty)
{
hospital["new_country"] = new EntityReference("new_countries", Country);
}
service.Update(hospital);
Now implement IPlugin Interface and you will get an Execute method with the IserviceProvider interface object as a parameter.
Procedure
Step 1
=> we need to trigger our plug-in when an event is executed, we need to get the service of IPluginExecutionContext using the IServiceProvider object.
=>Iservice interface provides access to various service of dynamic ,this interface has a method called Getservice that allow us to get any type of service we want.
=>And the GetService method returns an object of the specified type. We need to type caste that object.
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
Step 2
InputParameter:
Contains all details about entity,
We are retrieve the target entity from the input parmeter,
Plugin For Creation:
Means we need to trigger
After creation of plugin we need to build our project.
Once you build your project, need to generate a key . Without this key cannot deploy a plug-in onto a server.
To create a key, go to project property (ALT+ Enter) and go to the signing tab and check sign the assembly.
Select new in the drop down and add a key name and your dynamic CRM Password. And select save (CTRL+ S).
If you have done this then it will add a pfx encrypted key for your current project

Now register into PLUGIN REGISTERATION TOOL.
Open the tool from sdk tools, now click create New Connection
Now enter all credentials Server name and port number for connect to our sever.
Now register the assembly that means out plugin getting register into our plugin registeration tool,
Now add steps for our plgin .
=>The plugin and steps are successfully registerd into plugin registeration tool.
=>Open our organisation and check our plugin trigger based on the event what ever we mentioned.
While register our step fill the following details:
Message-For create or update or delete and so on.
Primary Entity-We are mention our target entity.
Filtering Attributes-we need to mention the field name for trigger plugin for onchange of the mention field
Execution Order-we need to mention order of execution .i have two class library one is for creation and other is updation for that situation I need mention which plugin excute first and second.
Pipeline Stage-we have 3 pipeline stage
1.Pre-validation
2.Pre-operation
3.Post-operation
Here I choose Post-operation because my event trigger after creation of record.
Excution mode-we have 2 excution mode
1.synchronous->Execution happen suddenly, operations don’t run in the background.
2.asynchronous-> Execution happen slowly, operations run in the background.
Now all steps are over,then we need to trigger our plugin.
Hi,
Maybe you should start with a basic working plugin that you can find here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg594416.aspx.
If you want that the community helps you. We will need more info. When did register your plugin (pre/ post operation)? When is triggered(creation/update/deletion/... of a record)?
