GUID

How to create automatically new GUID?
Full framework has this feature but i cant
see it in Compact Framework...

My question is how does this code generate the "Spatially unique node
identifier"? It seems like it is just generating a random number.

Use the OpenNETCF SDF GuidEx. www.opennetcf.org.

Mike,

I don't know all the details, but the author of this article explained to me
that the algorithm used is the same as for the desktop .Net Framework. I've
been using his code ever since with no problems.
