How to get id of saved entity

Dynamics CRM 2011 on premise

I can barely believe I can't find this out by Googling. MSDN is useless.

Here is some C# from a plugin:

integ_creditpayment creditpayment = new integ_creditpayment();
creditpayment.integ_Amount = totalPay;
//set more properties
context.AddObject(creditpayment);
context.SaveChanges();

Now I want to get the value of the id field in integ_creditpayment.

Can I get this immediately from creditpayment.id? (As in, does context.SaveChanges() cause the creditpayment variable to be updated with the new id?)

I'm assuming your real code is more complicated, but there is no need to use the context in your example code:

integ_creditpayment creditpayment = new integ_creditpayment();
creditpayment.integ_Amount = totalPay;
//set more properties
creditpayment.Id = service.Create(creditpayment);

You can also use a type initializer and get rid of your object all together if you'd like:

Guid id = service.Create(new integ_creditpayment
{
    integ_Amount = totalPay;
});

service in this case is of type IOrganizationService

After the SaveChanges() you can get the record id with:

Guid justCreatedId = creditpayment.Id;
