Differences in plugin functionality on PostOpportunityWin between CRM 2011 and CRM 2013

  Hello,

  I have developed a plugin for CRM 2011 (using the CRM Developer Toolkit for Visual Studio 2012) that executes when an opportunity is closed as "Won." The plugin itself is very simple, I retrieve the OpportunityClose object from the InputParameters, and then pull the opportunityid attribute from that entity and pass it off to a web service. For Dynamics CRM 2011, this works fine- for Dynamics CRM 2013, the Id property on the OpportunityClose entity is an empty GUID.

  Sample code:

          protected void ExecutePostOpportunityWin(LocalPluginContext localContext)
          {
              if (localContext == null)
              {
                  throw new ArgumentNullException("localContext");
              }
  
              var oc = (Entity)localContext.PluginExecutionContext.InputParameters["OpportunityClose"];
              var opportunityId = ((EntityReference)oc.Attributes["opportunityid"]).Id;
              var additionalProperties = new Dictionary<string, object>()
              {
                  { "OpportunityCloseId", oc.Id }
              };
              
              // (snip) code to pass values to web service
          }

  Following the above code, as I step through in a debugger... when integrating with Dynamics CRM 2013, oc.Id is an empty GUID. In Dynamics CRM 2011, it is the correct value. I've done a number of searches and read a lot of documentation, but nothing I've found indicates that this is either a bug or an intentional change.

  Thanks in advance,

  Steve
