Invalid object type when setting lead owner

  I am trying to create a new lead from a website via the CRMSDK web service.

   

  I managed to create the lead, with the owner being the user that I am using to connect with.  I want the owner to be a user that I get from a security role.  I managed to extract the user from the security role but when I try to set the owner when I create a new lead I get a error back from the web service, the SOAP exception gives me the following:

   

  <detail>

  <error><code>0x8004023b</code>

  <description>Invalid Object Type: 4 provided on attribute: ownerid</description>  <type>Platform</type>

  </error>

  </detail>

   

  This is how I am trying to set the owner property:

  this.Ownerid = new Owner();

  this.ownerid.type = this.EntityName.ToString();

  this.ownerid.Value = id; (where id is the Guid from a system user in a security role)

   

  I then set the other properties in the lead object and then I pass the object to the create method in the service.

   

  I verified that the GUID is a valid Guid.
