Hi,

When you register a plugin on Associate message, you must not select any entity in “Primary and Secondary” in plugin registration tool.

Hi Hamzeh,

The Associate/Disassociate request doesn't need Entity as Primary Entity in the plugin registration.

www.procentrix.com/.../crm-2011-plugin-associate-message.aspx

"One important note is that when you register your plugin step don't include entity names, leave both the primary and secondary entity fields blank, just register the plugin assembly and create the step on the main/parent entity."

Then after that you will need the code next logic to be executed just if meet condition based on your parent entity name or relationship name

// Now get the "Relationship" from context. The term "Relationship here is literal not

// Not to be confused with the name of your entities relationship name.

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Relationship"))

{

relationship = context.InputParameters["Relationship"].ToString();

}

// Get the parent entity reference from the Target context

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference)

{

parentEntity = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"];

}

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hamzeh,

If this is not possible using developer toolkit.

I recommend you to just use the Plugin Registration Tool.

Personally, I always use Plugin Reg tool.

Thank you.

Hi Hamzeh,

Thanks for the link. I have to implement similar functionality.

But when I copied following lines in the plugin class file

base.RegisteredEvents.Add(new Tuple<int, string, string, Action<LocalPluginContext>>(10, "Associate", "", new Action<LocalPluginContext>(Execute)));

It shows syntax error : PluginBase does not contain a definition for 'RegisteredEvents'

What lines of Code should I add in PluginBase.cs or please suggest some way to fix this issue.

Thanks.
