In a rather interesting scenario recently there was a need to validate organization name in a plugin. This was for a reusable component used for several of our clients and we wanted to make sure that the organization that can use this component is amongst our clients.

So, we needed a way to validate organization name that are using this plugin and then only allow the use of the component in case we have installed the component.

We needed a code solution!

On some research came to know about the following property in plugin context:

 

   public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

        {

            #region initialize

            IPluginExecutionContext context;

            ITracingService tracingService;

            IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory;

            IOrganizationService service;

 

            // Get a reference to the tracing service.

            tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));

 

           // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.

            context = (IPluginExecutionContext)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

if (context.OrganizationName != “organisationname”)

            {

//Run code here

             

            }

       

        

       }

 

Other 2 interesting properties I wanted to tell about below:

context.IsExecutingOffline (Check if plugin is executing offline)

context.OperationCreatedOn (Check operation creation date)

Hope it helps and Happy CRMing!
