Guid::NewGuid Method
Visual Studio 2010
Updated: August 2011
Initializes a new instance of the Guid structure.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
This is a convenient static method that you can call to get a new Guid.
The chance that the value of the new Guid will be all zeros or equal to any other Guid is very low. You can determine whether a GUID consists of all zeros by comparing it to Guid::Empty.
