guid

Question

how do you check if a Guid is empty? i've tried if ( myGuid.equals(  ) ) { do something... } but that doesn't work thx

Empty is a property not a method. So to get the value you use: Guid.Empty without paranthesis.

andrew · Answer

Or just check with empty: if (myGuid == Guid.Empty) { do something... }

buchholz · Answer

have you tried something like that? // CompareTo returns 0 if the guids have same value. if ( myGuid1.CompareTo( myGuid2 ) == 0 ) System.Console.WriteLine( myGuid1 compares to myGuid2 ); else System.Console.WriteLine( myGuid1 does not compare to myGuid2 ); from the msdn. try to compare your guid to the empty myGuid2 and get the return type.
