  Iterating around the Input Parameters:

  String parameters = "";
  
  foreach (KeyValuePair<string,object> attr in context.InputParameters)
  {
     parameters += attr.Key.ToString();
  }
  
  throw new Exception(parameters);
  

  Results: "Target", "Relationship", "RelatedEntities"

  I am hoping I can find entity 1 in the RelatedEntities object

  InputParameters will contain parameters with the same names (for the most part) as the name of the property on the request. For this message, as you can see, there are three parameters:

  • Target -- Root Entity
  • Relationship -- Relationship between the entities
  • RelatedEntities -- List of records that will be related, which is a collection of related entities.

  For instance, if the following was executed:

  service.Associate("account", accountId, new Relationship("Account_Tasks"), relatedTasks);
  

  The plug-in will see the following parameters:

  • Target -- EntityReference ("account", accountId)
  • Relationship -- Relationship ("Account_Tasks")
  • Related Tasks -- List of tasks that are being associated.

  You'll want to add a filter to the Execute method to not do your processing if it is not the relationship that you are looking for.

  I found it with:

  EntityReferenceCollection relatedentities = (EntityReferenceCollection)context.InputParameters["RelatedEntities"];
  
  if (relatedentities[0].LogicalName != "quote")
    return;
  
  EntityReference quote = new EntityReference("quote", new Guid(relatedentities[0].Id.ToString()));
