Is there a GUID.TryParse() in .NET 3.5?

Question

UPDATE

Guid.TryParse is available in .NET 4.0

END UPDATE

Obviously there is no public GUID.TryParse() in .NET CLR

Answer 1

IsGuid implemented as extension method for string...

public static bool IsGuid(this string stringValue)
{
   string guidPattern = @"[a-fA-F0-9]{8}(\-[a-fA-F0-9]{4}){3}\-[a-fA-F0-9]{12}";
   if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(stringValue))
     return false;
   Regex guidRegEx = new Regex(guidPattern);
   return guidRegEx.IsMatch(stringValue);
}
