SPAuditEntry.ItemId does not match Listitem.UniqueId

Question

SPAuditEntry.ItemId does not match Listitem.UniqueId.
I am trying to get the count of mostly viewed item in a document library.

Hi,
To get the most viewed items, we should first enable the auditing to record the log entrie when a document is viewed.
Then you can use the code to get the entries you want, here is a simple code snippet for your reference.
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(mUrl))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists[mListName];
SPAuditQuery spQuery = new SPAuditQuery(site);
spQuery.RestrictToList(list);
SPAuditEntryCollection auditCol = site.Audit.GetEntries(spQuery);
// Getting Audits
foreach (SPAuditEntry entry in auditCol)
if (entry.ItemType == SPAuditItemType.Document && entry.Event == SPAuditEventType.View)
// Some Code to cumulate results or linq perhaps
// by entry.ItemIds in to an other list or array
// Show top ten
SPListItem item = null;
foreach (Guid guid in topTenList) {
item = list.GetItemByUniqueId(guid);
Console.WriteLine("Item: {0}", item.Name);
