Plugin on delete step

Hello CRM Developers,

i have an issue with my plugin 

i have a custom entity that has a grid view in the form, the relationship is 1:N, a plugin that runs on the delete of the related entity works fine but when i have more than 1 record, once the last record gets deleted, the plugin sees the "Target"  as an EntityReference and not an entity, so the code doesn't run

please note that the it only fails when i have 1 record in my grid 

please help 

thanks

    you just need to check if Context.InputParameters["Target"] is an EntityReference.

    If you need to retrieve the record you can use the Id and LogicalName property of the EntityReference together with a Retrieve to get the actual record fields.

    Thanks Guido,

    so i need to check first if target is an entity reference, and then get the id from the target, so is this the record id??

    yes,

    you need to cast the Target to an EntityReference, for example:

    EntityReference recordRef = (EntityReference)Context.InputParameters["Target"];

    in this way recordRef.Id contains the Guid of the record, recordRef.LogicalName is the logical name of the record

    Hello Guido,

    i have tried this, i get this error :

    Record Is Unavailable

    The requested record was not found or you do not have sufficient permissions to view it

    but the record does exist and the guid, logical Name, columnSet are correct

    Thanks Guido,

    you gave me a clue, i was registering my plugin on postoperation, which is not correct

    Please register the plugin in PreOperation, Then you won't get an error..

    Thank you.
