public Guid[] GetResourceUids(
    int[] resIDs
)

Parameters

  • resIDs
    Type: []
    Resource IDs of the desired resources.

Return Value

Type: []
An array of GUIDs for the requested resource IDs.

Remarks

Resource IDs are the numbers on the resource sheet. Resource unique IDs are the globally unique IDs used by the system.

Project Server Permissions

No permissions are required.

Examples

This example retrieves enterprise resource IDs for several enterprise resources, creating them if they do not exist, then it retrieves the unique IDS..
