  Hi,

  I have created a plugin on RetrieveMultiple of activitypointer.  The plugin allows a user to see a roll up of activities from custom entities when on the parent entity.  My issue is that I have the id of the record that triggered the plugin, but need either its name or objecttypecode.  My code currently looks like this to get the id;

  QueryExpression res = context.InputParameters["Query"] as QueryExpression;
  if (res == null) return;
  if (res.LinkEntities.Count == 0) return;
  if (res.Criteria.Conditions.Count > 0) return;
  LinkEntity lnk = res.LinkEntities[0] as LinkEntity;
  if (lnk.LinkCriteria.Conditions.Count == 0) return;
  ConditionExpression cond = lnk.LinkCriteria.Conditions[0] as ConditionExpression;
  if (cond.Values.Count == 0) return;
  Guid callerentityid;
  if (!Guid.TryParse(cond.Values[0].ToString(), out callerentityid)) return; 

  
  

  Here I am able to get the id of the entity that has triggered the plugin (by trying to view Activities from that entity). But I need name or objecttypecode.  Well i just really need objecttypecode, but could get that if I had the name.

  Is there any way to do this? As the plugin is registered against activitypointer I am finding this hard.

  Thanks for any pointers anyone can give.
