CRM 2011 Origin of Create event

Question
0

Sign in to vote
Hello

In my plugin, i have a "Create" event, linked to an entity. This event is fired by :

- the entity's associated form, when the user click on the "Save" button

- after the calling of the "localContext.OrganizationService.Create(my entity)" method

I would know which element has fired this "Create" event. From the form, or from the Create method ?

Except creating a flag in the entity, which will be initialized according the calling context, is there a more elegant method ?

Thanks !

Hi,

Maybe you could use the Depth property of the executing context to determine if it was called from another plugin.

That could give you an origin in several cases.

Hi,
sadly there isn't a more elegant method.
CRM 4.0 had the Origin property to differentiate the origin of the call http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc156328.aspx

You need to use a field flag as you already doing.

I would go for the depth check. If the plugin is triggered by a user creating a record through the UI the depth will be 1, if it's triggered by another plugin the depth will always be >1.

Thanks for your response, but the Origin property always returns "Application".
