Defining Guids

  • Artikel

One of the tasks I find to be annoying during development is pasting GUID's into my code.  You need GUID's for lots of different functions (COM, Constants, etc ...).  GuidGen is a good tool for getting the Guid into your code.  However I don't insert GUID's very often.  Everytime I do, I find I've forgotten where the tool is.  Then I go through the process of locating it and getting my GUID out. 

PowerShell to the rescue :)

PS> [Guid]::NewGuid().ToString() | out-clipboard

 [Edit1] Corrected ToString->ToString() Tom Barnum's feedback.
