Guids are like humans… because are unique. 🙂 In several instance we have to generate unique strings or ids and Guids are perfect match for those situations. Well, how can you generate guid programmatically?
You can use the function – CoCreateGuid(). See the code snippet below.
// Initialize COM. ::CoInitialize( 0 ); // Generate GUID. GUID Guid = { 0 }; ::CoCreateGuid( &Guid );
Well, don’t forget to uninitialize COM by calling CoUninitialize().
