Platform::Guid value class
Represents a [GUID](/windows/win32/api/guiddef/ns-guiddef-guid type in the Windows Runtime type system.
Syntax
public value struct Guid
Members
Platform::Guid has the Equals(), GetHashCode(), and ToString() methods derived from the Platform::Object Class, and the GetTypeCode() method derived from the Platform::Type Class. Platform::Guid also has the following members.
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
| Guid | Initializes a new instance of a Platform::Guid. |
| operator== | Equals operator. |
| operator!= | Not equals operator. |
operator< |
Less than operator. |
| operator() | Converts a Platform::Guid to a GUID. |
Remarks
To generate a new Platform::Guid, use the Windows::Foundation::GuidHelper::CreateNewGuid static method.
Requirements
Minimum supported client: Windows 8
Minimum supported server: Windows Server 2012
Namespace: Platform
Metadata: platform.winmd
Guid::Guid Constructors
Initializes a new instance of a Platform::Guid.
Syntax
Guid(
unsigned int a,
unsigned short b,
unsigned short c,
unsigned char d,
unsigned char e,
unsigned char f,
unsigned char g,
unsigned char h,
unsigned char i,
unsigned char j,
unsigned char k );
Guid(GUID m);
Guid(
unsigned int a,
unsigned short b,
unsigned short c,
Array<unsigned char>^ n );
Parameters
a
The first 4 bytes of the GUID.
b
The next 2 bytes of the GUID.
c
The next 2 bytes of the GUID.
d
The next byte of the GUID.
e
The next byte of the GUID.
f
The next byte of the GUID.
g
The next byte of the GUID.
h
The next byte of the GUID.
i
The next byte of the GUID.
j
The next byte of the GUID.
k
The next byte of the GUID.
m
A GUID in the form a GUID structure.
n
The remaining 8 bytes of the GUID.
Guid::operator== Operator
Compares two Platform::Guid instances for equality.
Syntax
static bool Platform::Guid::operator==(Platform::Guid guid1, Platform::Guid guid2);
Parameters
guid1
The first Platform::Guid to compare.
guid2
The second Platform::Guid to compare.
Return Value
True if the two Platform::Guid instances are equal.
Remarks
Prefer using the == operator instead of the
Windows::Foundation::GuidHelper::Equals static method.
Guid::operator!= Operator
Compares two Platform::Guid instances for inequality.
Syntax
static bool Platform::Guid::operator!=(Platform::Guid guid1, Platform::Guid guid2);
Parameters
guid1
The first Platform::Guid to compare.
guid2
The second Platform::Guid to compare.
Return Value
True if the two Platform::Guid instances are not equal.
Guid::operator< Operator
Compares two Platform::Guid instances for ordering.
Syntax
static bool Platform::Guid::operator<(Platform::Guid guid1, Platform::Guid guid2);
Parameters
guid1
The first Platform::Guid to compare.
guid2
The second Platform::Guid to compare.
Return Value
True if guid1 is ordered before guid2. The ordering is lexicographic after treating each Platform::Guid as if it's an array of four 32-bit unsigned values. This isn't the ordering used by SQL Server or the .NET Framework, nor is it the same as lexicographical ordering by string representation.
This operator is provided so that Guid objects can be more easily consumed by the C++ standard library.
Guid::operator() Operator
Implicitly converts a Platform::Guid to a GUID structure.
Syntax
const GUID& Platform::Guid::operator();
