  Do you want the GUID or the field name?

  Here is an example of how to get both. Keep in mind that the field name may not be 'entityname+ID' in all cases (for example activities), however in most other cases this is fine.

          [Output("RecordId")]
          public OutArgument<Guid> RecordId { get; set; }
  
          [Output("RecordIdString")]
          public OutArgument<string> RecordIdString { get; set; }
  
          [Output("EntityName")]
          public OutArgument<string> EntityName { get; set; }
  
          [Output("PrimaryKey")]
          public OutArgument<string> PrimaryKey { get; set; }
  
          protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext executionContext)
          {
              // Create the context
              IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
              IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();
              IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);
  
              // GUID of target record
              Guid recordId = context.PrimaryEntityId;
              string recordIdString = recordId.ToString();
  
              // Entity name and Primary Key field name (in most cases)
              string entityName = context.PrimaryEntityName;
              string primaryKey = string.Format("{0}id", entityName);
  
              // Set output parameters
              this.RecordId.Set(executionContext, recordId);
              this.RecordIdString.Set(executionContext, recordIdString);
              this.EntityName.Set(executionContext, entityName);
              this.PrimaryKey.Set(executionContext, primaryKey);
          }

  Hope that helps

  that looks right, but would you have the same for CRM 4?
