Remarks
This class is a wrapper for values that uniquely identify an External Item on the external system. However, this class does not store information about the external content type or the external system the External Item belongs to. To obtain a generic reference to an External Item, use the EntityInstanceReference class.
Note
The string representation of an identity is case sensitive.
