GetGlobalObjectIdSlow(Object)

Obtains the unique object identifiers based on an object reference.
public static GlobalObjectId GetGlobalObjectIdSlow(Object targetObject)

Parameters

targetObject

Object
The object to obtain the unique identifier for.

Returns

Type

Description

GlobalObjectIdThe 
GlobalObjectId
for the object. If the conversion is unsuccessful, then the 
GlobalObjectId
is set to the default null ID. The null ID has the string representation 
GlobalObjectId_V1-0-00000000000000000000000000000000-0-0

Remarks

This method is slow. Use it sparingly. To get unique identifiers for multiple objects, it's recommended to use GlobalObjectId.GetGlobalObjectIdsSlow instead of making multiple calls to this method. If you use this method in a large project within other performance-sensitive contexts such as ISerializationCallbackReceiver.OnBeforeSerialize or ISerializationCallbackReceiver.OnAfterDeserialize, it's strongly recommended to profile the performance impact.
