Hi,

I’m building an automation script that get fed an name which is then lookup op in an DOM definition:

var customerfilter = DomInstanceExposers.FieldValues.DomInstanceField(McrCustomerIds.Fields.General.CompanyName()).Equal(jsonJob.customer);
var mcrCustomerList = mcrCustomerdomHelper.DomInstances.Read(customerfilter);
if (mcrCustomerList.Count < 1)
{
error = error + “Customer doesn’t exist” + System.Environment.NewLine;
}
else if (mcrCustomerList.Count > 1)
{
error = error + “Multiple customers found with this name, please define name beter” + System.Environment.NewLine;
}

Al i need is the guid of that instance to be inserted into an other DOM definition, now i ran into an issue since i need to provide an GUID. so i load the first entry.

DomInstanceId customer = mcrCustomerList[0].ID;

But this returns an DomInstanceId instead of an GUID. How can i go from this to an guid? i tried:

mcrCustomerList[0].ID.ToString(); (returns cryptic C-sharp error which is nowhere defined or findable)

Convert.ToString(mcrCustomerList[0].ID); which yields an string with the correct id however it is enclosed by another string: DomInstanceId[b78bfed1-ab88-4ba8-b468-c4bb2c809f12]

Now i can do some formating on the later, but i suspect there is an proper way to get the GUID without resorting to regex.
