I've following code snippet in which I am trying to get current order id. But it throw exception, following is the exception and plugin step. Can anyone please guide what went wrong in it?

IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)isp.GetService(typeof (IPluginExecutionContext));
                IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)isp.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
                IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
                Entity entity = null;
                entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                Guid orderId = entity.Id;

    We are following a custom Order number format.

    When you say expected and received Order. How these two are related within CRM?

    It is on change of a lookup field. But I can see that it was invoked twice and the order form also asked to save changes both time.

    Is this a sync worklfow or async one? Because I am thinking there might be issue in debugging itself while the code is working as expected.

    Can you try updating one field in the Entity and see if it get properly reflected in CRM. Dont debug, just call the update of same record with one field value in the code.

    Thanks,

    PS

    Can you try retrieving the order details with this guid and check it again?

    Entity orderEntity = service.Retrieve("salesorder", entity.Id, new Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Query.ColumnSet("name");

    Hi Mohsin Ali,

    Try using the code below.

     if ((context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference))
 {
    EntityReference entity = (EntityReference)context.InputParameters["Target"];
    Guid id= entity.Id;
 }

    This code worked for me.

    It is simple action process without any input/output parameters. As you can see from step screenshot I trigger plugin when action is invoked. Also, this action is invoked by a workflow.

    How do you start the Action (and pass the record details)?

    Do you have any input parameter?
