Man, it sometimes is a struggle to manipulate FIM 2010 using their API. A lot of it is trial and error when figuring out what types you are receiving. To remedy this, I’ve compiled a (growing) list of data about what types you can expect when communicating with FIM.
ReadResourceActivity
When reading data using the WF Activity (see below); you receive attributes from the read object in this format (see table).
| Attribute Type [FIM Type] | Returned data [.NET Type] |
| Reference, multi Valued | List<UniqueIdentifier> |
| Reference, single Valued | UniqueIdentifier |
| String, multi Valued | List<string> |
| String, single Valued | string |
| DateTime, single valued | DateTime |
| DateTime, multi valued | List<DateTime> |
To gain the ObjectID (Guid) of a resource in FIM given the UniqueIdentifier; you use the method .GetGuid().
Like this:
Guid objId = fimUniqueIdentifier.GetGuid();

You could just do it in PowerShell where pretty much everything is treated as a string by the FIM snap-in.
