using System.Text;

using System.Xml;

using Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk;

namespace UnsecureConfig

{

    public class PlugInCreate:IPlugin

    {

         private XmlDocument _pluginConfiguration;

         public PlugInCreate(string unsecureConfig, string secureConfig)

         {

             if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(unsecureConfig))

             {

                 throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Unsecure configuration missing.");

             }

             _pluginConfiguration = new XmlDocument();

             _pluginConfiguration.LoadXml(unsecureConfig);

         }

         public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

         {

             // Obtain the execution context from the service provider.

             IPluginExecutionContext context =

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

             // Get a reference to the organization service.

             IOrganizationServiceFactory factory =

                 (IOrganizationServiceFactory)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IOrganizationServiceFactory));

             IOrganizationService service = factory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId); 

             // Get a reference to the tracing service.

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

             if (tracingService == null)

                 throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Failed to retrieve the tracing service.");

             string reportUrl = GetConfigDataString(_pluginConfiguration, "ReportExc_ReportExecutionService");

         public static string GetConfigDataString(XmlDocument doc, string label)

         {

             return GetValueNode(doc, label);

         private static string GetValueNode(XmlDocument doc, string key)

         {

             XmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode(String.Format("Settings/setting[@name='{0}']", key));

             if (node != null)
