MS Dynamics Query audit in C# returning EntityReference instead of name

Question

I know that in order to request audit details for a specific record, I need to use a call like this:

var changedBy = auditDetailsResponse.AudtiDetail.AuditRecord.Attributes["userid"];

But in the console, I'm getting returns like this:

Changed By: Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.EntityReference

Trying this:

var changedBy = (EntityReference)auditDetailsResponse.AudtiDetail.AuditRecord.Attributes["userid"];

Yields the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try accessing like this.

var changedById = ((EntityReference)auditDetailsResponse.AudtiDetail.AuditRecord.Attributes["userid"]).Id;

var changedByName = ((EntityReference)auditDetailsResponse.AudtiDetail.AuditRecord.Attributes["userid"]).Name;
