Hello. I have been developing a C# plugin for CRM 4.0. The below code runs when a new case record is created. I have been trying to access the customer's GUID (which was added to the case record which was just created), so that I can later retrieve the customer's details such as e-mail address. I have tried two ways to do this: first by accessing the Value property using target_entity.Properties["customerid"].Value and also by trying to iterate over target_entity.Properties. However, both of these returned errors (as shown below in the code).
public void Execute(IPluginExecutionContext context)
{
DynamicEntity target_entity = null;
target_entity = (DynamicEntity)context.InputParameters.Properties["Target"];
/ *Below line gives following error:
'object' does not contain a definition for 'Value' and no extension method 'Value'
accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?) */
String customerGuid = target_entity.Properties["customerid"].Value;
/* tried alternate way to access customer GUID value by first looping
through each property of target_entity, then accessing the Value of the customer_id
key, but get following error:
'The type or namespace name 'PropertyValueCollection' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)'
Tried to import it with System.DirectoryServices but does not work, as
DirectoryServices is not recognised */
foreach (PropertyValueCollection value in target_entity.Properties)
{
if (value.PropertyName == "customerid")
{
String customerGuid == value.Value;
}
}
}
