    Hi,

    If you are not using a guid in the declaration, you will receive an error on compile time, that you cannot convert the type "System.Guid" to the type that you will use.

    Hello Khan,

    Please test the code I provided, I think it should work without the guid.

    Regards,

    Hello Khan,

    This is because the system "helps" developers to write less code, for example:

    Entity newAccount = new Entity("account");

    newAccount["name"] = "TEST";

    service.Create(newAccount);

    this should work.

    Regards!
