I have following code for creating new Component in Tridion:

 ComponentData componentData = (ComponentData)client.Create(component, new ReadOptions());

However, once I try to read Component.Id property, it is returning new TCM URI (tcm:0-0-0). No need to say that I tried to set flags for ReadOptions or even SynchronizationOptions, but nothing seems to work. Also, I don't want to read Component again after save, I just want ID to return.

  • For clarity: are you testing component.Id or componentData.Id? The first is the delta object you pass in (delta compared to default values) and may indeed have a tcm:0-0-0 identifier. The latter is the created Component’s data and that is expected to have a regular TCM URI.

This is expected behavior, you will get an ID after a Save. You don't really need to "read Component again", as the Save (or Update) method returns a IdentifiableObjectData, so you can do something along the lines of:

componentData = (ComponentData)client.Save(whateverGoesInHereCan'tRemember);

    Exactly, It persists the component data in the database only when you call save() and generates a new tcm id

  • Actually, I used following method with default read options, and it still returns new tcmuri: ComponentData componentData = (ComponentData)client.Save(component, ReadOptions);

    I just wanted to make an update. I had some code issues previously, but to make everything clear after additional testing: both create, update and save return tcmid.

    Thanks for the update, I was just about to go test it myself, as I was really sure this would work :)
