I am trying to update the telephone number on all associated contacts of an account entity. the following is the code that i have used,
public class Plugin:IPlugin
{
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
Entity entity;
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
if (entity.LogicalName != "account") { return; }
}
else
{
return;
}
try
{
string telephoneNum = string.Empty;
IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory =(IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
IOrganizationService service =serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
var id = (Guid)context.OutputParameters["id"];
telephoneNum = entity.GetAttributeValue<string>("telephone1");
UpdateContact(service, id,telephoneNum);
}
catch (FaultException<OrganizationServiceFault> ex)
{
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(
"An error occurred in the plug-in.", ex);
}
}
private static void UpdateContact(IOrganizationService service, Guid id,string telephoneNUm)
{
using (var crm = new XrmServiceContext(service))
{
var res = from c in crm.CreateQuery("contact")
where c["parentcustomerid"].Equals(id)
select c;
foreach (var c in res)
{
Entity e = (Entity)c;
e["telephone1"] = telephoneNUm;
crm.UpdateObject(e);
}
crm.SaveChanges();
}
}
}
I register the plugin on update, and primary entity "account" but whenever i try to save the account form after change of number in the telephone field i see an error pop up. Am i missing something? Thank you all!
Just a hunch..but I think you are getting the Id in the wrong way..try getting it by:
Guid Id = context.PrimaryEntityId
But as Pedro suggested..you need to see what is the exact error or try to debug the plugin using attach to process..

Is it possible to delete entity while same is still in plugin update transaction?
It seems following code is not working. I need to delete entity when its get updated and some other circumstances
Something like:
protected void ExecutePosAnnotationtUpdate(LocalPluginContext localContext)
{
if (localContext == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("localContext");
}
if (localContext.PluginExecutionContext.Depth > 1) return;
Entity postEntityImage = null;
if (localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PostEntityImages.Contains("PostImage"))
{
if (localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PostEntityImages["PostImage"] != null)
{
postEntityImage = localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PostEntityImages["PostImage"];
}
}
Entity preEntityImage = null;
if (localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PreEntityImages.Contains("PreImage"))
{
if (localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PreEntityImages["PreImage"] != null)
{
preEntityImage = localContext.PluginExecutionContext.PreEntityImages["PreImage"];
}
}
if ((bool)postEntityImage.Attributes["isdocument"])
{
if ( some condition )
localContext.OrganizationService.Delete(postEntityImage.LogicalName, postEntityImage.Id);
}
}
`
Since you're updating, the record is there in Target.
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
var context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));
var serviceFactory = (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));
var service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
var target = context.InputParameters["Target"] as Entity;
var condition = /* whatever */
if(condition)
{
service.Delete(target.LogicalName, target.Id);
}
}
Works as expected when attached to Update message, Post-Operation, Asynchronous. Works inside the Sandbox, also.
Records will not disappear at once, it takes some time (~20 seconds on my on-premise playground). If you make it Synchronous it will still work but alerts are going to come up because data disappears while being handled by the CRM during the update.
I am replacing the (HttpContext.Current.User) IPrincipal with a custom version so I can store more information login and the user. I have done this before using the FormsAuthtenticationTicket, but those other ways were based on the Memberhipship and SimpleMembership providers.
My question is, can i use the FormsAuthenticationTicket to store the cookie of my ICustomPrincipal with it interfering or breaking in OWIN Identity Pipline? I feel like would i be mixing apples and oranges.
example save:
var user = userRepository.Users.Where(u => u.Email == viewModel.Email).First();
CustomPrincipalSerializeModel serializeModel = new CustomPrincipalSerializeModel();
serializeModel.UserId = user.Id;
serializeModel.FirstName = user.FirstName;
serializeModel.LastName = user.LastName;
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string userData = serializer.Serialize(serializeModel);
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(
1,
viewModel.Email,
DateTime.Now,
DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(15),
false,
userData);
string encTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(authTicket);
HttpCookie faCookie = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, encTicket);
Response.Cookies.Add(faCookie);
example retrieve:
protected void Application_PostAuthenticateRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HttpCookie authCookie = Request.Cookies[FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName];
if (authCookie != null)
{
FormsAuthenticationTicket authTicket = FormsAuthentication.Decrypt(authCookie.Value);
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
CustomPrincipalSerializeModel serializeModel = serializer.Deserialize<CustomPrincipalSerializeModel>(authTicket.UserData);
CustomPrincipal newUser = new CustomPrincipal(authTicket.Name);
newUser.UserId = serializeModel.UserId;
newUser.FirstName = serializeModel.FirstName;
newUser.LastName = serializeModel.LastName;
HttpContext.Current.User = newUser;
}
}
EDIT
I have this for the creating the claim
public ClaimsIdentity CreateIdentity(
LoginAttempt loginAttempt)
{
UserProfile userProfile = GetUserProfile(loginAttempt.UserName);
var applicationUser = FindById(userProfile.AspNetUserId);
ClaimsIdentity identity;
try
{
identity = UserManager.CreateIdentity(applicationUser, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_log.Error(ex.Message, ex);
return null;
}
//UserManager.GetClaims()
identity.AddClaim(new Claim("LoginAttemptId", loginAttempt.LoginAttemptId.ToString(),ClaimValueTypes.String));
identity.AddClaim(new Claim("UserProfileId", loginAttempt.UserProfileId.ToString(), ClaimValueTypes.String));
identity.AddClaim(new Claim("SubscriptionType", userProfile.SubscriptionType, ClaimValueTypes.String));
IList<string> roles= UserManager.GetRoles(applicationUser.Id);
identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, roles.First()));
return identity;
}
and this for extracting
public static long GetLoginAttemptId(this IIdentity principal)
{
var claimsPrincipal = principal as ClaimsIdentity;
if (claimsPrincipal == null)
{
//throw new Exception("User is not logged in!");
return -1;
}
var nameClaim = claimsPrincipal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "LoginAttemptId");
if (nameClaim != null)
{
return Convert.ToInt64( nameClaim.Value);// as long;
}
return -1;
}
EDIT
These are the claims I am getting. I have logged off and logged back in.
There are Claims that serve exactly the same purpose. Only new API is actually purposed this way.
Claims are a basically a Dictionary<String, String> that is stored in auth-cookie and available through IPrincipal. But you don't need to do ICustomPrincipal because actual object that you get behind IPrincipal is ClaimsPrincipal and that has a list of claims.
You'd add extra information to Idnentity object just before the login:
public async override Task CreateIdentityAsync(ApplicationUser applicationUser)
{
var identity = await base.CreateIdentityAsync(applicationUser, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
identity.AddClaim(new Claim("MyApp:FullName", applicationUser.FullName));
return identity;
}
And then you'd be able to get this data out from IPrincipal via extension:
public static String GetFullName(this IPrincipal principal)
{
var claimsPrincipal = principal as ClaimsPrincipal;
if (claimsPrincipal == null)
{
throw new Exception("User is not logged in!");
}
var nameClaim = principal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "MyApp:FullName");
if (nameClaim != null)
{
return nameClaim.Value;
}
return String.Empty;
}
I have used this method successfully in a few projects already. See other similar answers for more code samples.
Here is another article, though I discourage from using Thread.CurrentPrincipal or ClaimsPrincipal.Current in MVC application - you don't always get what you expect, especially when user is not logged in or on early stages of AppPool start up.
This approach works for me (Using MVC4), slightly different from above.
public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
{
// Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
// Add custom user claims here
userIdentity.AddClaim(new Claim("MyApp:OrganizationId", OrganizationID.ToString()));
return userIdentity;
}
public int OrganizationID { get; set; }
}
Extension method. Note you should use claimsPrincipal variable (instead of principal variable) to obtain the claims. I think that's a little mistake in the excelent answer of #trailmax (sorry for not comment this in your answer, my reputation doesn't allow me). Also, I use IIdentity instead of IPrincipal
public static class IdentityExtensions
{
public static int GetOrganizationId(this IIdentity principal)
{
var claimsPrincipal = principal as ClaimsIdentity;
if (claimsPrincipal == null)
{
throw new Exception("User is not logged in!");
}
var nameClaim = claimsPrincipal.Claims.FirstOrDefault(c => c.Type == "MyApp:OrganizationId");
if (nameClaim != null)
{
return int.Parse(nameClaim.Value);
}
throw new Exception("ID doesn't exists");
}
}
And then, I use the extension method in the controller like this:
var organizationId = User.Identity.GetOrganizationId();
Hope this is useful to someone.
What is exactly "EntityMoniker" in Dynamics CRM and when to use it. Is it used instead of the "Target" Entity?
The "EntityMoniker" is a property of the SetStateRequest class and it is of type EntityReference. While the "Target" is a property of AssignRequest, CreateRequest, DeleteRequest, ExecuteWorkflowRequest, MergeRequest and UpdateRequest classes and it is of type Entity.
EntityMoniker is used in SetStateRequest. I have the following method, that i use to Change Status of any record in CRM 2011/2013
public static void SetStatus(string EntityName, Guid Id, int StateCode, int StatusCode)
{
try
{
if (Service == null)
throw GRID.CRM.ExceptionHandler.ExceptionUtil.GetException("Connection with CRM is Lost", typeof(Common), "SetStatus");
SetStateRequest StateRequest = new SetStateRequest();
StateRequest.EntityMoniker = new EntityReference(EntityName, Id);
StateRequest.State = new OptionSetValue(StateCode);
StateRequest.Status = new OptionSetValue(StatusCode);
SetStateResponse StateResponse = (SetStateResponse)Service.Execute(StateRequest);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw GRID.CRM.ExceptionHandler.ExceptionUtil.GetException(ex, typeof(Common), "SetStatus");
}
}
everyone,
I'm having a problem that does not appear in the output parameter list on the right side under "Look for" underneath "Local Values", I do not understand the problem or reason for not appear, since in terms of input parameters's okay.

Ok, problem solved, just restart IIS to assume the fields, or through version change. The problem was the update of the plugin, this also happens with workflows. According to CRM 4.0 i realized this situation does not happen in CRM 4.0.
Even though this Question is already answered I wanted to share two Cases where this solution didn't work (even in a recent Version of CRM):
Case 1
Having choosen Input-Parameter-Names that contained german Umlauts (äöüß).
IIS-restart did not help.
Choosing Names without Umlauts solved the Problem for me.
Case 2
We recently also had a case where a normal In-Argument did not show up, even after restarting the entire Maschine CRM was running on. The Solution was not to obvious:
Open PluginRegistrationTool from SDK
Choose the Assembly that contains your CWA
Choose your CWA
Hit the Save-Button in the Properties-Tab of your CWA
I am developing an e-commerce website that utilises db4o as the backend. All was well until last week when I came across a problem that I have been unable to solve. The code below is quite straight forward. I open a database file, save an object and then try to retrieve it. However I get nothing back. The "users" variable has a count of zero.
public class Program
{
private static string _connectionString = string.Format(#"c:\aaarrrr.db4o");
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TestUser container = new TestUser() { id = 1, Name = "Mohammad", Surname = "Rafiq" };
Db4oFactory.Configure().Diagnostic().AddListener(new DiagnosticToConsole());
using (var dbc = Db4oFactory.OpenFile(_connectionString))
{
dbc.Store(container);
}
IList<TestUser> users = null;
using (var dbc = Db4oFactory.OpenFile(_connectionString))
{
users = dbc.Query<TestUser>(x => x.id == 1).ToList();
}
if (users.Count > 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} with id of {2}", users.First().Name, users.First().Surname, users.First().id);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("\nNo data returned.");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class TestUser
{
[Indexed]
private int _id = 0;
private string _name = string.Empty;
private string _surname = string.Empty;
public int id { get { return _id; } set { _id = value; } }
public string Name { get { return _name; } set { _name = value; } }
public string Surname { get { return _surname; } set { _surname = value; } }
}
I have attached db4o diagnostic listener and I see nothing in the console output. Everything seems fine. I know I am writing to the file because I can see the file size increase and the timestamp is also updated. I have checked all the project settings and they are all set to default. I am using .net 4, visual studio 2010 beta and windows 7. I have done some reading regarding reflection permission but I cant see how this applies here. Any help or ideas would be knidly appreciated.
After calling store(), you need to commit() before leaving the using{} statement. You closed your database before committing your changes.
