I've got a lot of code that is using GUIDs (an architecture handed to me--not my choice).
Mostly, the values come from a database and load into memory from there. However, I'm doing some testing and I'm hard-coding some GUIDs into the code.
I haven't found an easy way to assign GUIDs, so I've ended up using Guid.Parse("...."). Is there an easier way to assign GUIDS in C#?
value = Guid.Parse("11223344-5566-7788-99AA-BBCCDDEEFF00");
It just seems like a lot of overhead to create the string then parse it. I would think there would be an easier way to directly assign it.
Answer
If you already have a string representation of the Guid, you can do this:
Guid g = new Guid("11223344-5566-7788-99AA-BBCCDDEEFF00");
And if you want a brand new Guid then just do
Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
