Cannot explicitly call operator or accessor

Because of lost source control, I must decompile a plugin to edit it.

I downloaded the plugin with Assembly Recovery tool.

I decompiled and exported the plugin with dotpeak.

In Visual Studio 2019 I have added the Microsoft.crmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly v6.1.1 with nuget.

After following all the above steps I am left with 99+ “cannot explicitly call operator or accessor” errors in the plugin.

Here are two examples:

1. IOrganizationService organizationService = ((IOrganizationServiceFactory) serviceProvider.GetService(typeof (IOrganizationServiceFactory))).CreateOrganizationService(new Guid?(((IExecutionContext) service).get_UserId()));

Error CS0571 'IExecutionContext.UserId.get': cannot explicitly call operator or accessor

2. entityReference2.set_LogicalName("product");

Error CS0571 'EntityReference.LogicalName.set': cannot explicitly call operator or accessor

Why are there so many errors? Is there a step that I am missing?

What would be the best way to correct the 99+ errors

RE: Cannot explicitly call operator or accessor

Hello,

Try to use following code instead:

IOrganizationService organizationService = ((IOrganizationServiceFactory) serviceProvider.GetService(typeof (IOrganizationServiceFactory))).CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

entityReference2.LogicalName = "product";

RE: Cannot explicitly call operator or accessor

The errors can broadly be split into 2.types:

Those for the standard code to get the IOrganizationService instance, which you can fix with a general find & replace (see below)

Ones where the generated code tries to call a method instead of reading/setting a property - e.g. entityReference2.set_LogicalName("product") should be entityReference2.LogicalName = "product". Here the fix is pretty similar for each line, but a Find & Replace would handle all the syntax changes needed

In both cases these are due to the decompiler expecting methods that MS haven't provided. Another decompiler may do a better job, but it may be quicker to make the changes manually

For item 1, where you have:

IOrganizationService organizationService = ((IOrganizationServiceFactory) serviceProvider.GetService(typeof (IOrganizationServiceFactory))).CreateOrganizationService(new Guid?(((IExecutionContext) service).get_UserId()));

You should be able to do a general replace with the following:

IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory)); IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
