How can I get the versionless TCM URI of a Component in SaveEventArgs?

Question

The return value of component.Id is TCM URI that contains the version information, such as tcm:00-00-v0.

However, I want to get the TCM URI of the Component in form of tcm:00-00.

How can I get the TCM URI of the Component without the version information?

I have code like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Extensibility;
using Tridion.ContentManager.ContentManagement;
using Tridion.ContentManager.Extensibility.Events;

namespace CreatePDFComponent
{
    [TcmExtension("CreatePDFComponent")]
    public class CreatePDFComponent : TcmExtension, IDisposable
    {
        private readonly List<EventSubscription> _subScriptions = new List<EventSubscription>();

        public CreatePDFComponent()
        {
            Subscribe();
        }

        private void Subscribe()
        {
            //when component is saved, event system (Create method) execute.
            EventSubscription subScription = EventSystem.SubscribeAsync<Component,
                                             SaveEventArgs>(Create, EventPhases.Processed);
            _subScriptions.Add(subScription);
        }

        // Create Images Component (Abbreviated)
        private void Create(Component component, SaveEventArgs args, EventPhases phases)
        {
            // component.Id is "tcm:00-00-v0" but I want to get "tcm:00-00"
            String componentId = component.Id.ToString().Replace("-v0", "");               
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            foreach (EventSubscription subscription in _subScriptions)
            {
                subscription.Unsubscribe();
            }
        }
    }
}

I think you should provide more context in your question. Why you need the ComponentId if you already have access to the Component object?

Tridion will keep an editable version of your component during the whole edition process. This is the v0 you are observing. However you already have the component object and you can do operations with it.
