can I add to InputParameter["Target"] and will I also need parentcustomeridtype? RRS feed

    I assume either of the last two statements will work:

    EntityReference acct = getAccount(incoming.GetAttributeValue<string>("new_companyname"), service);
if (null == acct) return;

// finding such a company, add its EntityReference to the InputParameters
((Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"])["parentcustomerid"] = acct;
((Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"]).Attributes.Add("parentcustomerid", acct);

    But does the EntityReference take care of the parentcustomeridtype -- since it's a customer and not a lookup -- or will that attribute be needed as well?

    PS- this is pre-operation phase plugin

    Thanks, but there are no OutputParameters in the Pre-Operation phase (20) of the Event execution pipeline.

    With late binding I wouldn't have "new Customer".  Instead I have EntityReference acct = new EntityReference("account", service.Create(newAcct)); or some found GUID.

    try this
    if (context.OutputParameters.Properties.Contains("id"))
        {
          contactobj.parentcustomerid = new Customer();
          contactobj.parentcustomerid.type = EntityName.account.ToString();
          contactobj.parentcustomerid.Value = new Guid(context.OutputParameters.Properties["id"].ToString());
        }
