Converting GUIDs to Strings in C#:
A GUID is a 128-bit identifier, typically displayed as a 32-character hexadecimal number, often separated by hyphens. While GUIDs are effective for unique identification, they are not as human-readable as strings.
In C#, the ToString
method of the Guid
structure is used to convert a GUID to its string representation.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Generating a new GUID
Guid myGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
// Converting GUID to string
string guidString = myGuid.ToString();
// Displaying the original GUID and the converted string
Console.WriteLine("Original GUID: " + myGuid);
Console.WriteLine("Converted String: " + guidString);
}
}
In the above example, a new GUID (myGuid
) is generated using Guid.NewGuid()
. The ToString
method is then applied to convert the GUID to its string (guidString
).
Output:
Original GUID: f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
Converted String: f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
