I have created a Workflow Plug-In for CRM 4.0 in C# (Visual Studio 2005) and
I am using the “plugindeveloper” tool from the SDK to register it.

The plug-in registers when I use CRM attributes like string and CrmDateTime.

Example:
public static DependencyProperty TitleProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Title", typeof(string),
typeof(CrmWorkflowContactTransfer));
[CrmInput("Title")]
public string Title
{
get
{
return (string)base.GetValue(TitleProperty);
}
set
{
base.SetValue(TitleProperty, value);
}
}

When I use the CRM attribute UniqueIdentifier or Key the “plugindeveloper”
tool does not register it.

Example:
public static DependencyProperty ContactGUIDProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("ContactGUID", typeof(Key),
typeof(CrmWorkflowContactTransfer));
[CrmInput("Contact GUID")]
public Key ContactGUID
{
get
{
return (Key)base.GetValue(ContactGUIDProperty);
}
set
{
base.SetValue(ContactGUIDProperty, value);
}
}

What I am trying to do, it is to get the contact id from the contact entity
and use it in the plug-in.

It seems that it is not possible to access the contact id using the above
code. Is there is other method to get the GUId?

The uniqueidentifier and key types cannot be used on workflow activities. You
should make the property of type Lookup. You should also add the attribute
CrmReferenceTarget to the property declaration

[CrmInput("Contact GUID")]
[CrmReferenceTarget("contact")]
public Lookup ContactGUID
{
