Service.update() for a Post-Operation Update Message plugin; not working

I created a plugin; Post-Operation (40) on the Update Message.

I make my changes that are valid to a single field (Replace a value with 100).

When the record is saved, the field is not updated, so I added the line:

service.update(account);

But this gives me a Plugin error.

How should I save changes on the Update Message of a Post-Operation plugin?

Rather than using plugin why can't use real-time workflow on the same update event. If you have to use plugin post complete code that may help to figure out the issue.

Edit: I don't want to use Pre-Operation. I need to it occur Post-Operation.

it's happening because your plugin is executed when a record is updated and your code updates the record again, this cause to call again the plugin ...

Then you have your infinite loop

You can prevent the loop using the IExecutionContext.Depth property

msdn.microsoft.com/.../microsoft.xrm.sdk.iexecutioncontext.depth.aspx

This will solve your problem:

if (context.Depth <= 1)

{

service.Update(account);

}
