Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
static Guid NewGuid()
static member NewGuid : unit -> Guid 
public static function NewGuid() : Guid

Type: System. . :: . .Guid
A new GUID object.

Remarks

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.
