    Hi,

    What is available under Target, it depends on message on which plugin is registered, can you share your details on which event you are registring your plugin ??

    Hi Vinay,

    I think you should have use below syntax, if you want to go with Entity as a Target.

    Because Target as an Entity does not have property entity.Id while Target as an EntityReference has.

    You need to get record guid from context instead of Entity object.If you use Target as an Entity.

    Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

    tracingService.Trace("3 - entity");

    var contact = service.Retrieve("contact", context.PrimaryEntityId, new ColumnSet(true));

    Can also check below article for more info:

    [View:https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/201583]

    Also, I would recommend to use Pre-Image instead of performing Retrieve query in order to get context entity unchanged field's data.

    It will avoid one additional DB call and improve plugin performace.

    Hope it helps

    Mark this as answer. If it helps.

    Cheers

    Arpit

    Thank you everyone your suggestion helped me resolved my issue. while i'm trying to use "Entity" it does not work but it works with "EntityReference.

    Please let me know what is reason behind this

                 //Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

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

                   tracingService.Trace("3 - entity");

                   var contact = service.Retrieve("contact", entity.Id, new ColumnSet(true));

                   tracingService.Trace("4 - entity");

                   if (contact != null)

                   {

                       if (contact.Attributes.Contains("address1_name") == false)

                       {

                           Random rndgen = new Random();

                           contact.Attributes.Add("address1_name", "first time value: " + rndgen.Next().ToString());

                       }

                       else

                       {

                           contact["address1_name"] = "i already exist";

                       }

                       service.Update(contact);

                   }

    Hi K,

    The error says NotImplementedException.
    Try search in your plugin project source code to see if there is any throw new NotImplementedException()

    Regards,
    Abby

    Hi Vinay,

    You have been written -

    throw new NotImplementedException in very first line inside the Execute method.

    And in your error file..it also gives the same error.

    Comment out this line and try.

    namespace Test

    {

       public class Test : IPlugin

       {

           public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

           {

               throw new NotImplementedException();

               ITracingService tracingService =

                   (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

    If my answer helped to resolve your issue, kindly verify it by clicking 'Yes'. It would be helpful to the other community members seeking to resolve a similar issue.

    Hi,

    On which event you have registered your plugin ??

    // Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
    EntityReference entity = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"];

    you are not retrieving entity here instead you are using entityreference, to get entity you need to use below code

    Entity entity=(Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

    var contact = service.Retrieve("contact", entity.Id, new ColumnSet(true));
    tracingService.Trace("4 - entity");
    if (contact != null)
    {
    if (contact.Attributes.Contains("address1_name") == false)
    {
    Random rndgen = new Random();
    contact.Attributes.Add("address1_name", "first time value: " + rndgen.Next().ToString());
    }
    else
    {
    contact["address1_name"] = "i already exist";
    }
    service.Update(contact);
    }

    It seems you are trying to update some attribute based on the address1_name exists or not ?? if yes you can simply write a pre create plugin where you don't need to use update statement instead you can simply add your attribute to property bag like you are using here, no need to call update method in this case

    contact.Attributes.Add("address1_name", "first time value: " + rndgen.Next().ToString());

    Let me know if you need more information
