    Hi,

    Have a look here : http://lakshmanindian.wordpress.com/2012/10/28/programmatically-associate-and-disassociate-nn-relationship-records-in-microsoft-dynamics-crm-2011/

    It explains association and disassociation of records.

    Hi,

    Answer to your first question: You're trying to associate/disassociate Account from Contact when a particular event occurs, right (like update, etc.)? You specify that event in Plugin Registration tool. If I am not wrong you do not want association to happen when an Account is disassociated from a Contact or vice versa, is it not?

    Answer to your second question: The "contact" here is an EntityReference object, so you need to create that first. That EntityRefernce would ideally be the one you wish to associate/disassociate. Ideally an EntityReference object is created as follows:

    EntityReference contact = new EntityReference("contact", new Guid("your_contact_id_here");
