How can I generate a GUID for a string?

Question

I am having a problem generating a GUID for a string - for example:

Guid g = New Guid(\"Mehar\");

How can I compute a GUID for \"Meha

Answer 1

I'm fairly sure you've confused System.Guid with wanting a hash (say, SHA-256) of a given string.

Note that, when selecting a cryptographically-secure hashing algorithm, MD5, SHA0 and SHA1 are all generally considered dead. SHA2 and up are still usable.
