  Type: System.Guid
  The GUID of the custom field project, resource, or task entity.

Return Value

Type: [CustomFields Web service].CustomFieldDataSet

Remarks

A new method in Project Server 2010. If a custom field or graphical indicator is calculated by a formula, the ReadCustomFieldsByEntity2 method converts formulas in the returned CustomFieldDataSet to a format that depends on the locale specified in the Regional and Language Options control panel of the computer running Project Server. By comparison, the ReadCustomFieldsByEntity method returns a CustomFieldDataSet where formulas are independent of locale.
