Guid

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if there is a way of obtain the guid from the clientside
in C#. Or this is just an impossible thing to do without Active Directory as
the guids are unique? I've tried looking for it everywhere but I cant find
any source on this.

Thanks in advance

Alex

If you are just trying to create a new guid, check out
Guid.NewGuid Method

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not trying to create a new guid, i want to find the guid value from the
clients computer and use this as their username.

Thanks in advance

you should use the user's username in which case, rather than an identifier
from the PC (presumably you mean the mac address?) they might happen to be
sitting at at the time. so saying it is possible to get the mac address by
adding a reference to System.Management and use a ManagementObjectSearcher
to retrieve it...
