    In CRM 2011, it is Entity. To read the Post Image you need to use the following code

    Entity entity = (Entity)context.PostEntityImages["<PostImage>"]; // PostImage is the alias name that was used when registering the plugin using plugin registration tool

    You first need to register a post image at the time of registering the plugin. Make sure to include all the attributes that you want to access within the plugin.

    You can then access the value of that property from Entity and perform further operations.

    Hi Prasad ,

     you need to trap the post update message

    Also make sure that you register the Post Image.

    Here is a example

    //Cast it into a DynamicEntity

    DynamicEntity postEntity = (DynamicEntity)context.PostEntityImages["PostImage"];


    String newName = (String)postEntity["new_name"];
