Tool to generate unique GUIDs?

Question

Hi,

 

Does Visual Studio 2008 contain a tool that can generate unique GUIDs? I remember there is such one but cannot find it. If there are no such tools, then is there a function to do the task?

 

Thanks

Answer 1

GuidGen ?

Answer 2

... is there a function to do the task

CoCreateGuid function

StringFromGUID2 function

Answer 3

You also can use uuidCreate()

or

GUID guid;
OLECHAR szGUID[40] ={0};
if(::CoCreateGuid(&guid) == S_OK)
{						
 if(::StringFromGUID2(guid,szGUID,GUID_STRING_LEN)!=0)
 {
						 
    std::string strGUID = MBFromW(szGUID,CP_ACP); // This GUID contain open and close curly {} braces ,remove them before using it					
			
 }
}

Thanks
