2,397Hi, I created a basic plugin that generates the account number when creating account, post operation, create. I signed the assembly, and deployed successfully, and I can see the plugin registered in solution as well. But when I created a new account, the account number didn't show up. Please advise what else I missed.
protected override void ExecuteCrmPlugin(LocalPluginContext localContext)
{
if (localContext == null)
{
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("localContext");
}
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
IPluginExecutionContext context = localContext.PluginExecutionContext;
IOrganizationService service = localContext.OrganizationService;
// The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
// Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.
Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
//</snippetAccountNumberPlugin2>
// Verify that the target entity represents an account.
// If not, this plug-in was not registered correctly.
if (entity.LogicalName == "account")
{
// An accountnumber attribute should not already exist because
// it is system generated.
if (entity.Attributes.Contains("accountnumber") == false)
{
// Create a new accountnumber attribute, set its value, and add
// the attribute to the entity's attribute collection.
Random rndgen = new Random();
entity.Attributes.Add("accountnumber", rndgen.Next().ToString());
}
else
{
// Throw an error, because account numbers must be system generated.
// Throwing an InvalidPluginExecutionException will cause the error message
// to be displayed in a dialog of the Web application.
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("The account number can only be set by the system.");
}
}
}
}
