Oh, so you are using 4.0... makes a bit more sense now.

The ID shouldn't change on an update so does this work:

 public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
		{
            //Extract the tracing service for use in debugging sandboxed plug-ins.
            ITracingService tracingService =
                (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

            // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.
            IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
                serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
            
            // The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.
            if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
                context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
            {
                // Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
                Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

Then just examine the entity.Id property.

hey, but even if id doesn't change how do i get access to it? i also tried:

DynamicEntity postImageID = (DynamicEntity)context.PostEntityImages.Properties["PostImage"]; portalId= ((Guid)postImage.Properties["id"]);

I am confused. You marked a response that failed earlier as the answer but didn't also mark any of my responses as helpful or also as answers. Did none of them help you? What was the root of this problem?
