Guid.ParseExact Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Converts the string representation of a GUID to the equivalent Guid value, provided that the string is in the specified format.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function ParseExact ( _
    input As String, _
    format As String _
) As Guid

public static Guid ParseExact(
    string input,
    string format
)

Parameters

input
Type: System.String
The GUID to convert.

format
Type: System.String
One of the following specifiers that indicates the exact format to use when interpreting input: "N", "D", "B", "P", or "X".

Return Value

Type: System.Guid
A structure that contains the value that was parsed.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	input or format is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
FormatException	input is not in a recognized format.

Remarks

The following table shows the accepted format specifiers for the format parameter. "0" represents a digit; hyphens ("-"), braces ("{", "}"), and parentheses ("(", ")") appear as shown.

Specifier	Format of the input parameter
N	32 digits: 00000000000000000000000000000000
D	32 digits separated by hyphens: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
B	32 digits separated by hyphens, enclosed in braces: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
P	32 digits separated by hyphens, enclosed in parentheses: (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)
X	Four hexadecimal values enclosed in braces, where the fourth value is a subset of eight hexadecimal values that is also enclosed in braces: {0x00000000,0x0000,0x0000,{0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00}}

Examples

The following example calls the ToString method with each of the supported format specifiers to generate an array of strings that represent a single GUID. These are then passed to the ParseExact method, which successfully parses only the string that conforms to the "B" format specifier.

Module Example
   Public Sub Demo(outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Define an array of all format specifiers.
      Dim formats() As String = { "N", "D", "B", "P", "X" }
      Dim guid As Guid = Guid.NewGuid()
      ' Create an array of valid Guid string representations.
      Dim stringGuids(formats.Length - 1) As String
      For ctr As Integer = 0 To formats.Length - 1
         stringGuids(ctr) = guid.ToString(formats(ctr))
      Next

      ' Parse the strings in the array using the "B" format specifier.
      For Each stringGuid In stringGuids
         Try
            Dim newGuid As Guid = Guid.ParseExact(stringGuid, "B")
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Successfully parsed {0}", stringGuid) + vbCrLf
         Catch e As ArgumentNullException
            outputBlock.Text += "The string to be parsed is null." + vbCrLf
         Catch e As FormatException
            outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Bad Format: {0}", stringGuid) + vbCrLf
         End Try   
      Next      
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
