Delete Event in CRM 2011 Plug-In

Today, I have written a plug-in which fires on record delete message. I have deployed it successfully and when I test it, the code is not firing and even I don't see any error message. I went further and debugged the code and found the cause of the issue.

Event		Type
Delete	context.InputParameters["Target"]	EntityReference
Create	context.InputParameters["Target"]	Entity
Update	context.InputParameters["Target"]	Entity

So your code should be as follows

Delete

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is EntityReference)

{

    if (context.MessageName == "Delete")

    {

         // Your code

    }

}

Create and Update

if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") && context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)

{

    if (context.MessageName == "Create")

    {

         // Your code

    }

    if (context.MessageName == "Update")

    {

         // Your code

    }

}

Happy CRM'ing
