    RE: how to get created record in plugin

    At an initial glance there are a few problems in the code.

    Firstly, if this is a create plugin "Target" (i.e. context.InputParameters["Target"]) should already contains all of the attributes you need for the newly created record (Target will be your account).  

    Next, what stage have you registered this plugin? If it's in a pre stage then performing a "service.Retrieve" on that newly created entity isn't going to work.

    Next issue is you assign the Account.Id to the ContactGuid and then you try retrieve a contact record (using an account id). This isn't going to work, you've got the wrong Id here. I'm unsure of what you are trying to achieve so struggling to advise an alternative.

    Finally, your question is a little vague. I've interpreted what potentially might be your problem from the title, but all you've posted is code. How far is your trace getting if you download log? Or if it's running asynchronously, what is outputted in the system jobs detail section?

    Edit: I spotted a lengthy tag giving me slightly more details! 

    You're trying to update a contact when an account is updated. But you have a problem in this code:

    Guid ContactGuid = Account.Id;
Entity objContact = service.Retrieve("contact", ContactGuid, new ColumnSet(true));

    As I said, this isn't going to work, you've got the wrong Id here. Are you trying to update ALL contacts linked to that account? If so you need to do a Retrieve multiple where the parentcustomerid on the contact record equals the account id just updated. For more information on queries/retrieve multiples please refer to the SDK:

    (I just noticed the Microsoft samples are a little bit pants... who wrote that spaghetti code?!?)

    Please check the privileges and permission for those entities for particular user's security role.
