    Greetings.

    I have a post-create plug-in that is triggered after creation of a record in ENTITY_A and should be performing the following:

    1) Create a record in ENTITY_B

    2) Get GUID of record created in 1)

    3) Update a lookup in ENTITY_A with GUID retrieved in 2)

    It seems to be straightforward and yet in spite of many trials, I haven't been able to make this work.

    Thank you for your help/suggestions.

    Frank

    You're right, that is a pretty straightforward problem.  The best advice I can give is get comfortable with the Plugin Profiler that way you can step through the code.

    Here's some code pulled a MSDN sample and tweaked for your situation (another relevant sample):

    IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

Entity entityBToCreate = new Entity("new_entityB");
entityBToCreate["Name"] = "Example EntityB";

Guid _newId = _service.Create(entityBToCreate);

// Obtain the target entity from the input parameters.
Entity targetEntity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

targetEntity["Entity_A_Lookup"] = new EntityReference("new_entityB", _newId);

    If you post your code or errors it will be easier to assist.

    hi frank,

    try to run the plugin in async mode so that this plugin will not be running in the same transaction.

    Thanks & Regards Vijji
