Hi guys,

I would like to retrieve the position of a systemuser, however I am not able to get the positionid.

WhoAmIRequest whoReq = new WhoAmIRequest();
WhoAmIResponse whoResp = (WhoAmIResponse)_service.Execute(whoReq);

Guid userid = whoResp.UserId;

Entity queryPositionid = _service.Retrieve("systemuser", userid, new ColumnSet("positionid"));
if (queryPositionid.Contains("positionid"))
{
_positionid = queryPositionid["positionid"].ToString(); //I am not able to get the id here, having exception :Guid //should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).

Entity _position = _service.Retrieve("position", new Guid(_positionid), new ColumnSet("name"));
if (_position.Contains("name"))
{
_positionname = _position["name"].ToString();

}

....

Please advise, thanks guys!

Use the Id property to get the guid:

_positionid = queryPositionid["positionid"].Id

Hi,

queryPositionid["positionid"] is a generic object that needs to be cast as an Entity Reference, which has an Id and name property. This should do it for you:

EntityReference _positionid = (EntityReference)queryPositionid["positionid"];

Entity _position = service.Retrieve("position", _positionid.Id, new ColumnSet("name"));

Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

Thanks,

Aiden

Hi Kentan,

Please use the code below to get the GUID position id.

// Get LookUp Position from User Entity
EntityReference _position = (EntityReference)queryPositionid.Attributes["positionid"]; // Get LookUp Value of position Guid _positionId = _position.Id // this will give you id of the position

Hope this helps.
