Here is some C# code that accesses FIM resource attributes from the web services via the FIM 2010 Resource Management Client which I mentioned in an earlier post:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Client;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement.ObjectModel;
namespace MyTest
public partial class ResourceAttribute
public ResourceAttribute()
public string GetTypeAndDisplayName(string objectID)
String ReturnValue = String.Empty;
using (Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Client.DefaultClient client = new DefaultClient())
client.ClientCredential = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
client.RefreshSchema();
string query = String.Format("/*[ObjectId={0}]", objectID);
foreach (RmResource res in client.Enumerate(query))
String displayName = res.DisplayName;
String objectType = res.ObjectType;
ReturnValue = displayName + " (" + objectType + ")";
break;
return ReturnValue;
You would just need to define your bindings and endpoints in your web.config. This method will return the DisplayName and ObjectType for the resource with the ObjectId matching the objectID argument. If you need more information, please provide more specifics
for what you are trying to accomplish.
There are many code examples for this library on its CodePlex home:
