Posted on by RG Student

Hi,

I am creating a plugin which runs after saving a record.

1. now how do I get a particular field of the record which is being saved.

2. how to get records of another entity based on some condition ?

public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
        {

            IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
            IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
            IOrganizationService orgService = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
            ITracingService traceService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                Entity entity = context.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;
                
                // Verify that the target entity represents an account.
                // If not, this plug-in was not registered correctly.
                if (entity.LogicalName != "contact")
                    return;
                
                //logic here
                
            }
        }

RE: Plugin which runs after record save

Hi,

If my understanding is correct, your plugin runs on the Create message, right? Or also on the update message?

If it is on the Create Message, then your "entity" will have all the attributes you need. You can get the attribute like this:

var someAttValue = entity.GetAttributeValue<Type>("logicalNameOfYourAttribute");

as an example of this, if you want to get the value of an attribute named "abc_name", and it is of type string, you would write:

var name=entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("abc_name");

Now, if your plugin is registered on the Update message as well, the "entity" object will only contain the the attributes that got modified only. This means, you would want to issue another call to get the values that are not included in the execution context.

To get a record of another entity, see the example here docs.microsoft.com/.../use-queryexpression-class
