Dear all,

My business need is as follows:

1 - I have 2 Entities: lets call them A & B

2 - Entity A have a lookup field on Entity B

3 - When a new record of entity B is created, I need to update all records from enity A with the new record

Could anybody please guide me to start doing this using a custom plugin on CRM 2011 ??

I do not need a ready to use code, I just need to start point to start writing plugins, (I know how to register plugins and I have read many articles that works with the SDK sample), but It looks like this is not enough

I think you are just repeating the same so I'm afraid I can't help. I noticed you posted the same question multiple times:

Have you read the links that other users have kindly provided?

For your scenario, you can most likely make use of RetrieveMultiple to retrieve the A records and the use an Update on each of those records. You can familiarize yourself with plugins using the links other users provided, I don't think you will get the exact code you need fromt he forums because your details are a bit unclear.

3 - When a new record of entity B is created, I need to update all records from enity A with the new record

So if a new recrord B is created, you want to edit *every* A record that exists in the system? Or you need to update only the A record that is in the lookup of the newly created B entity?

Still unclear, so there are multiple A records per B records (B has a lookup to A).

When you create a B entity, you want to update the parent of the newly created record (the A record that is associated to the B record) or *ALL* A records in the system?

Perhaps you can provide an exmaple with more details so you can actually get some useful help in the forums...
