Entity test = new Entity("new_tetest");

String fname = test.GetAttributeValue<String>("new_firstname");
String lname = test.GetAttributeValue<String>("new_lastname");
string concat = fname + lname;
concat = String.Concat(fname, lname);

Hi,

> Are you sure you are filling these attributes.

Where are you checking this concatenation ?? it is creating a new record of your entity, are you not able to see any new record created for your entity having this combined value ??

Try with this -

if (entity.LogicalName == "new_tetest") { try { Entity test = new Entity("new_tetest"); String fname = string.Empty; String lname = string.Empty; if (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_firstname")) { if (entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_firstname") != "" && entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_firstname") != null) { fname = entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_firstname"); } } if (entity.Attributes.Contains("new_lastname")) { if (entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_lastname") != "" && entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_lastname") != null) { lname = entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_lastname"); } } test["new_fullname"] = fname + " " + lname; service.Create(test); } catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex) { throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("invalidException", ex); } }

Hi Chaitu,

You plugin code looks fine. You need to check if you have registered it correctly and if it is executing or not. You could use throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("invalidException", ex); on the top to confirm if plugin is executing or not.

By the way, you can achieve the concatenation by simple workflow or a calculated field-
