    Hi everyone,

    Is it possible to add "html web resource" dynamically through plugin code when a record is created?

    Scenario is as follows:

    I have created one custom entity. This entity has one field named "new_entityname".

    So, when record is created in this custom entity and in that when we are adding the entity name say "xyz"(in new_entityname field), then plugin should fire.

    This plugin should add existing "html web resource", to the "xyz" entity form.

    Thanks,

    Rajeev

    Definitely possible. Once you get the formXML it is just a matter of creating the proper XML elements. It would be a good idea to manually add what you want to a form and see what the resulting XML looks like and then mimic that.

    Once you get to your "rows" element, you can use code similar to this to add the web resource.

    XElement row = new XElement("row");
XElement cell = new XElement("cell");
cell.Add(new XAttribute("id", "{" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "}")); //Any guid
XElement control = new XElement("control");
control.Add(new XAttribute("id", "Webresource_234")); //Choose the name
control.Add(new XAttribute("classid", "{9FDF5F91-88B1-47f4-AD53-C11EFC01A01D}")); //Defined by SDK
XElement parameter = new XElement("parameters");
control.Add(parameter);
XElement url = new XElement("Url", "new_yourwebresource");//Web Resource name
parameter.Add(url);
cell.Add(control);
row.Add(cell);
rows.FirstOrDefault().Add(row);

    See this sample in the SDK:

    One extra point to add is that the data changes you make will be to metadata. Internally, CRM uses different transaction isolation levels for metadata changes, compared to that used for data changes. A consequence of this is that your code may fail if you run the plugin synchronously. However, you can get around this by running it asynchronously
