Ok, so got another question for you the almighty CRM gods. I've been wracking my brain on this one. But essentially all this plugin is doing is creating a task, if a certain field has data when a contact is created.
I've been picking up some serious know-how for plugins lately, but this one has me confused. The plugin is set for the create message for the contact entity in the parent pipeline and set to run synchronously, in the post stage. It should have no problem performing this action from all I've read/know. But I'm getting errors. here's the code of the method that generates the task. The error is happing on the service.execute line, and its throwing "An unexpected error has occurred".
DynamicEntity newTask = new DynamicEntity(EntityName.task.ToString());
//Subject
StringProperty strSubject = new StringProperty("subject", "Met at conference");
newTask.Properties.Add(strSubject);
//Description
StringProperty strDescription = new StringProperty("description", "Met at Conference. Created automatically when contact was created.");
newTask.Properties.Add(strDescription);
//Start date
newTask.Properties.Add(new CrmDateTimeProperty("scheduledstart", CrmTypes.CreateCrmDateTimeFromUniversal(DateTime.Now)));
//End Date
newTask.Properties.Add(new CrmDateTimeProperty("scheduledend", CrmTypes.CreateCrmDateTimeFromUniversal(DateTime.Now)));
//Regarding
Lookup lkpRegardValue = new Lookup(EntityName.contact.ToString(), (Guid)context.OutputParameters.Properties["id"]);
LookupProperty lkpRegarding = new LookupProperty(_parentEntityID, lkpRegardValue);
newTask.Properties.Add(lkpRegarding);
//Conference
if (_dentity.Properties.Contains(_firstConference))
{
Lookup lkpConfValue = CrmTypes.CreateLookup(_conferenceEntityName, (Guid)_dentity.Properties[_firstConference]);
LookupProperty lkpConference = new LookupProperty(_conferenceIDField, lkpConfValue);
newTask.Properties.Add(lkpConference);
}
else if (_dentity.Properties.Contains(_latestConference))
{
Lookup lkpConfValue = CrmTypes.CreateLookup(_conferenceEntityName, (Guid)_dentity.Properties[_latestConference]);
LookupProperty lkpConference = new LookupProperty(_conferenceIDField, lkpConfValue);
newTask.Properties.Add(lkpConference);
}
//Make Complete
CrmBoolean boolCRM = new CrmBoolean(true);
CrmBooleanProperty boolMakeComplete = new CrmBooleanProperty(_markComplete, boolCRM);
newTask.Properties.Add(boolMakeComplete);
TargetUpdateDynamic targetUpdate = new TargetUpdateDynamic();
targetUpdate.Entity = newTask;
UpdateRequest updateRequest = new UpdateRequest();
updateRequest.Target = targetUpdate;
CrmService service = PluginUtils.GetCRMService(context);
UpdateResponse response = (UpdateResponse)service.Execute(updateRequest);
service.Dispose();
Things you might need to know _FirstConference and _latestconference are field names that are coming through an XML config set for the plugin. _conferenceEntityName is the name of the custom entity, and _conferenceIDField is the id field for the task entity where the N:1 relationship is. _markcomplete is a bit field that tells a plugin set to run on the create of the task to close the task post creation.
of course I set up trace log on our test environment and here's what it says for this error.
