On each projects there are entities we can't force user to set names for (because it is needless). However it is good approach if all you records has names, especially if you have to choose these records in lookups.
I use plugins to set names of such entities. To simplify development of such plugins I did a base class and want to share it with you.
Let me show you example of the plugin which is based on SetNamePluginBase (base plugin) I share below.

using ExitoConsulting.Plugins.Base;

namespace ExitoConsulting.Plugins
{
public class OwnerSetName : SetNamePluginBase
{
protected override string GetName(Entity entity, IPluginExecutionContext context, IOrganizationService service)
{
var fullName = entity.GetAttributeValue("ec_fullname");
var clientId = entity.GetAttributeValue("ec_clientid");
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(fullName))
{
return null;
}
var name = fullName;
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(clientId))
{
name = name + string.Format(" - {0}", clientId);
}
return name;
}
}
}
