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

You cannot use GUID that way. The constructor of Guid expects a valid, string representation of a Guid.

What you're looking for is called a Hash function. (for example: MD5)
