I try to retrieve the createdby field when I create a cases with a plugin, but the first retrieval fails, and the second and subsequent retrieval are successful. And then when I logged out and login with other user the first retrieval fails (retrieve result is the user before i change the user), and the second and subsequent retrieval are successful.
here is the code i write :
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProv)
{
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProv.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
IOrganizationServiceFactory servicefac = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProv.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = servicefac.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
ITracingService trace = (ITracingService)serviceProv.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
Entity ent = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (ent.LogicalName != "incident")
return;
QueryExpression qe = new QueryExpression("incident");
string[] cols1 = { "createdby" };
qe.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(true);
EntityCollection ec = service.RetrieveMultiple(qe);
foreach (Entity act in ec.Entities)
{
created = act. GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("createdby").Name;
}
if (created == "CRM SNA")
{
created = string.Empty;
}
else
{
//here is the autonumber code
created = string.Empty;
}
}
}
What I want to make is an autonumber plugin, when cases are created by "CRM SNA" then the autonumber must not run, when cases are created by other users the autonumber will run.
How to make the first retrieve successful? and did not retrieve the user before?
thanks.
I assume your plugin runs in the Pre-Create step. CreatedBy and CreatedOn are not available in this step (probably because the record is not saved yet).
If you are just trying to get the user that executed the action that fired the plugin, use context.InitiatingUserId. You could also look into the documentation for the WhoAmI request.
Hope that helps!

I want to add a field to Accounts which shows the email domain for that account e.g. #BT.com. I then have a spreadsheet which lists all the Accounts and their email domains. What I want to do is when a new Contact is added to Dynamics that it checks the spreadsheet for the same email domain (obviously without the contacts name in the email) and then assigned the Contact to the Account linked to that domain. Any idea how I would do this. Thanks
Probably best chance would be to develop CRM plugin. Register your plugin to be invoked when on after contact is created or updated (so called post-event phase). And in your plugin update the parentaccountid property of the contact entity to point to account of your choice.
Code-wise it goes something like (disclaimer: not tested):
// IPluginExecutionContext context = null;
// IOrganizationService organizationService = null;
var contact = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
var email = organizationService.Retrieve("contact", contact.Id, new ColumnSet("emailaddress1")).GetAttributeValue<string>("emailaddress1");
string host;
try
{
var address = new MailAddress(email);
host = address.Host;
}
catch
{
return;
}
var query = new QueryExpression("account");
query.TopCount = 1;
// or whatever the name of email domain field on account is
query.Criteria.AddCondition("emailaddress1", ConditionOperator.Contains, "#" + host);
var entities = organizationService.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities;
if (entities.Count != 0)
{
contact["parentaccountid"] = entities[0].ToEntityReference();
}
organizationService.Update(contact);
I took Ondrej's code and cleaned it up a bit, re-factored for pre-operation. I also updated the logic to only match active account records and moved the query inside the try/catch. I am unfamiliar with the MailAddress object, I personally would just use string mapping logic.
var target = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
try
{
string host = new MailAddress(target.emailaddress1).Host;
var query = new QueryExpression("account");
query.TopCount = 1;
// or whatever the name of email domain field on account is
query.Criteria.AddCondition("emailaddress1", ConditionOperator.Contains, "#" + host);
query.Criteria.AddCondition("statecode", ConditionOperator.Equals, 0); //Active records only
var entities = organizationService.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities;
if (entities.Count != 0)
{
target["parentaccountid"] = entities[0].ToEntityReference();
}
}
catch
{
//Log error
}
I'm writing a plugin on Campaign which used a Business Process Flow. The fields ProcessId and StageId which are created by the Business Process Flow in Campaign Entity. I need to retrieve these values for a record in my plugin.
They don't appear in the Plugin Registration Tool's Step Image. They don't even appear in CRM workflows were I can populate them in some other field.
Is there a good alternative on how I can achieve this?
Why not just grab a service from your IServiceProvider, and retrieve the fields?
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
IPluginExecutionContext context = CommonPluginLibrary.GetContextFromIServiceProvider(serviceProvider);
IOrganizationServiceFactory factory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
Entity campaign = service.Retrieve(context.PrimaryEntityId, context.PrimaryEntityName, new ColumnSet("processid", "stageid"));
// ...
// Do your stuff with campaign["processid"], campaign["stageid"]
// ...
}
Another approach would be creating two shadow fields for stageid and processid (e.g. new_stageid, new_processid), and populating these fields using a synchronous workflow that triggers on process/stage update.
Then, you could register your plug-in on these shadow fields as they would be your entity's custom attributes.
You should be able to retrieve this by passing the correct input parameters to a workflow activity in this business process flow.
1) if you have these string inputs:
[RequiredArgument]
[Input("Process Name")]
public InArgument Process { get; set; }
[RequiredArgument]
[Input("Process Stage Name")]
public InArgument ProcessStage { get; set; }
2) Execute code Get Process:
using (var _context= new OrganizationServiceContext(service))
{
// Get the processid using the name provided
var process = (from p in _context.CreateQuery()
where
p.Name == Process.Get(executionContext)
&&
p.StateCode == WorkflowState.Activated
select new Workflow
{WorkflowId = p.WorkflowId}
).FirstOrDefault();
if (process==null)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(string.Format("Process '{0}' not found",Process.Get(executionContext)));
Get the stage id using the name provided
var stage = (from s in _context.CreateQuery()
where
s.StageName == ProcessStage.Get(executionContext)
&&
s.ProcessId.Id == process.WorkflowId
select new ProcessStage
{ProcessStageId = s.ProcessStageId}
).FirstOrDefault();
if (stage == null)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(string.Format("Stage '{0}' not found", Process.Get(executionContext)));
You can now Change Update the stage with your values retrieved ...
Entity uStage = new Entity(context.PrimaryEntityName);
uStage.Id = context.PrimaryEntityId; //
uStage["stageid"] = stage.ProcessStageId; //retrieved stage
uStage["processid"] = process.WorkflowId; //process id
To access process and stage ids you can use processid and stageid fields of record. I'm pretty sure that you can get it from Images or through direct read of a record. Additionally you can recheck following article:

I have created a trigger that will auto-create a contact when a specific Account record type is created or updated. The problem is that I am not sure how to populate the Contact 'Account Name' lookup field. This field is a lookup to the Account object. My code is below. Any help on how to integrate this missing component would be greatly appreciated.
trigger autoCreateContact on Account (after update, after insert)
{
List newContact = new List();
for (Account oAccount : trigger.new)
{
if (oAccount.RecordTypeid == '012F0000001MCfgIAG')
{
List<Contact> cCheck = [SELECT ID From Contact WHERE LastName=:oAccount.Name];
if(cCheck.isEmpty()==True)
{
System.debug(oAccount);
Contact oContact = new Contact();
oContact.LastName = oAccount.Name;
oContact.phone = oAccount.Phone;
oContact.email = oAccount.Email__c;
oContact.Owner = oAccount.Owner;
newContact.add(oContact);
}
}
if(newContact.isEmpty() == false)
{
Database.insert(newContact);
}
}
}
nice trigger I'm pretty sure you just need to add one line which is a reference to the account.id.
So if I were you I would add the link:
oContact.AccountID = oAccount.id;
NOTE: its not a good practice to have a SOQL inside the for loop.
I have written a C# plugin for post update of the parent record based on the multiple fields.
In this I am trying to calculate the total value in the parent entity based on the values updated in the child entity, which has rate and units fields in it. So basically, total=rate*unit. The code builds fine, but when creating a new form in dynamics crm it genetrates a Business Process Error: Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): Parentchild1.parentchildpluginSystem.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key was not present in the dictionary.
Here is my code:
namespace Parentchild1
{
public class parentchildplugin : IPlugin
{
private Entity abcevent_parent;
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
IPluginExecutionContext context =
(IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
// Get a reference to the Organization service.
IOrganizationServiceFactory factory =
(IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
if (context.InputParameters != null)
{
//entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
//Instead of getting entity from Target, we use the Image
Entity entity = context.PostEntityImages["PostImage"];
Money rate = (Money)entity.Attributes["abcevent_rate"];
int unit = (int)entity.Attributes["abcevent_unit"];
// EntityReference parent = (EntityReference)entity.Attributes["abcevent_parentid"];
//Multiply
// Money total = new Money(rate.Value * units);
//Set the update entity
Entity parententity = new Entity("abcevent_parent");
//parententity.Id = parent.Id;
//parententity.Attributes["abcevent_total"] = total;
// abcevent_parentid = Guid IOrganizationservice.Create(Entity parentid);
Guid parentGuid = service.Create(abcevent_parent);
EntityReference parent = (EntityReference)entity.Attributes["abcevent_parentid"];
Money total = new Money(rate.Value * unit);
//Update
//service.Update(parententity);
}
the problem you ask for:
The given key was not present in the dictionary.
It is because one key is not in the list, if you try to get an attribute like
int number = (int)entity.Attributes["random_attribute"]
This throws the error, because random_attribute it is not in the context.
You have to make sure the attribute is in the context... the best practice to this is asking for a Contains:
if (entity.Contains("random_attribute"))
This way you know you can safely access to the attribute.
Another reason may be the Image, make sure it is in the context.
Currently I'm developing an OAuth2 authorization server using DotNetOpenAuth CTP version. My authorization server is in asp.net MVC3, and it's based on the sample provided by the library. Everything works fine until the app reaches the point where the user authorizes the consumer client.
There's an action inside my OAuth controller which takes care of the authorization process, and is very similar to the equivalent action in the sample:
[Authorize, HttpPost, ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult AuthorizeResponse(bool isApproved)
{
var pendingRequest = this.authorizationServer.ReadAuthorizationRequest();
if (pendingRequest == null)
{
throw new HttpException((int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Missing authorization request.");
}
IDirectedProtocolMessage response;
if (isApproved)
{
var client = MvcApplication.DataContext.Clients.First(c => c.ClientIdentifier == pendingRequest.ClientIdentifier);
client.ClientAuthorizations.Add(
new ClientAuthorization
{
Scope = OAuthUtilities.JoinScopes(pendingRequest.Scope),
User = MvcApplication.LoggedInUser,
CreatedOn = DateTime.UtcNow,
});
MvcApplication.DataContext.SaveChanges();
response = this.authorizationServer.PrepareApproveAuthorizationRequest(pendingRequest, User.Identity.Name);
}
else
{
response = this.authorizationServer.PrepareRejectAuthorizationRequest(pendingRequest);
}
return this.authorizationServer.Channel.PrepareResponse(response).AsActionResult();
}
Everytime the program reaches this line:
this.authorizationServer.Channel.PrepareResponse(response).AsActionResult();
The system throws an exception which I have researched with no success. The exception is the following:
Only parameterless constructors and initializers are supported in LINQ to Entities.
The stack trace: http://pastebin.com/TibCax2t
The only thing I've done differently from the sample is that I used entity framework's code first approach, an I think the sample was done using a designer which autogenerated the entities.
Thank you in advance.
If you started from the example, the problem Andrew is talking about stays in DatabaseKeyNonceStore.cs. The exception is raised by one on these two methods:
public CryptoKey GetKey(string bucket, string handle) {
// It is critical that this lookup be case-sensitive, which can only be configured at the database.
var matches = from key in MvcApplication.DataContext.SymmetricCryptoKeys
where key.Bucket == bucket && key.Handle == handle
select new CryptoKey(key.Secret, key.ExpiresUtc.AsUtc());
return matches.FirstOrDefault();
}
public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>> GetKeys(string bucket) {
return from key in MvcApplication.DataContext.SymmetricCryptoKeys
where key.Bucket == bucket
orderby key.ExpiresUtc descending
select new KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>(key.Handle, new CryptoKey(key.Secret, key.ExpiresUtc.AsUtc()));
}
I've resolved moving initializations outside of the query:
public CryptoKey GetKey(string bucket, string handle) {
// It is critical that this lookup be case-sensitive, which can only be configured at the database.
var matches = from key in db.SymmetricCryptoKeys
where key.Bucket == bucket && key.Handle == handle
select key;
var match = matches.FirstOrDefault();
CryptoKey ck = new CryptoKey(match.Secret, match.ExpiresUtc.AsUtc());
return ck;
}
public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>> GetKeys(string bucket) {
var matches = from key in db.SymmetricCryptoKeys
where key.Bucket == bucket
orderby key.ExpiresUtc descending
select key;
List<KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>> en = new List<KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>>();
foreach (var key in matches)
en.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, CryptoKey>(key.Handle, new CryptoKey(key.Secret, key.ExpiresUtc.AsUtc())));
return en.AsEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string,CryptoKey>>();
}
I'm not sure that this is the best way, but it works!
It looks like your ICryptoKeyStore implementation may be attempting to store CryptoKey directly, but it's not a class that is compatible with the Entity framework (due to not have a public default constructor). Instead, define your own entity class for storing the data in CryptoKey and your ICryptoKeyStore is responsible to transition between the two data types for persistence and retrieval.
