I am what you call a "n00b" in CRM plugin development. I am trying to write a plugin for Microsoft's Dynamics CRM 2011 that will create a new activity entity when you create a new contact. I want this activity entity to be associated with the contact entity.
This is my current code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;
namespace ITPH_CRM_Deactivate_Account_SSP_Disable
{
public class SSPDisable_Plugin: IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["target"] is Entity)
{
Entity entity = context.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;
if (entity.LogicalName != "account")
{
return;
}
Entity followup = new Entity();
followup.LogicalName = "activitypointer";
followup.Attributes = new AttributeCollection();
followup.Attributes.Add("subject", "Created via Plugin.");
followup.Attributes.Add("description", "This is generated by the magic of C# ...");
followup.Attributes.Add("scheduledstart", DateTime.Now.AddDays(3));
followup.Attributes.Add("actualend", DateTime.Now.AddDays(5));
if (context.OutputParameters.Contains("id"))
{
Guid regardingobjectid = new Guid(context.OutputParameters["id"].ToString());
string regardingobjectidType = "account";
followup["regardingobjectid"] = new EntityReference(regardingobjectidType, regardingobjectid);
}
service.Create(followup);
}
}
}
But when i try to run this code: I get an error when i try to create a new contact in the CRM environment. The error is: "The given key was not present in the dictionary" (Link *1). The error pops up right as i try to save the new contact.
Link *1: http://puu.sh/4SXrW.png (Translated bold text: "Error on business process")
Thanks for any help or suggestions :)
