    In this case, you have to do it this way:

     

    For new_entity:

     

    entity = (DynamicEntity) context.InputParameters.Properties["Target"]

    entity.Name != "new_entity";

    entity.Properties[""] = ...........................;

     

    TargetUpdateDynamic target = new TargetUpdateDynamic();

    target.Entity = entity;

    UpdateRequest request = new UpdateRequest();

    request.Target = target;

    crmService.Execute(request);

    Hi, Try removing  the CRM Web reference and then add it again.

    You can create a plugin for custom entities. Context will return the Dynamic entity. And while registering the plugin you have to select your custom entity.

    The preferred way is to reference the original microsoft.crm.sdk.dll and use Dynamice Entities to deal with custom attributes and custom entities.  You can still reference a web service but there is no infinite loop checking mechanism (e.g. updating contact triggers updating an account and there is code to update contact inside the account plugin.. etc) in the web reference.

     

    So, the answer is, yes, you can and should create plugin without define refenece to web service, instead, you should simply just create a reference to microsoft.com.sdk.dll
