Generating GUIDs with VB.NET

Takeaway: There are a variety of reasons why developers use globally unique identifiers (GUIDs),such as assigning unique identifiers to classes or when dealing with databases. This tip contains sample code that shows you how to generate GUIDs with VB.NET.

Developers use globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) for various reasons,such as assigning unique identifiers to classes or when dealing with databases. GUIDs are the Microsoft implementation of the distributed computing environment (DCE) universally unique identifier (UUID). GUIDs are 128-bit globally unique identifiers that are automatically generated based on close to two zillion frequently varying factors.

There is an extremely low possibility that the value of GUID would be all zeroes,or that it would be equal to any other GUID. You can use GUIDs across all computers and networks wherever a unique identifier is required.

GUIDs identify objects such as interfaces and class objects. A GUID consists of one group of 8 hexadecimal digits,followed by three groups of 4 hexadecimal digits each,which are followed by one group of 12 hexadecimal digits.

In the following script,I manually generate the GUID that I can use later in the application by using VB.NET:

Private Sub GenerateGUID()

Dim sGUID As String
sGUID = System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString()
MessageBox.Show(sGUID)

End Sub

In the example,I define a string variable,sGUID,to hold a GUID that I will generate. Then I set the value of sGUID to the value returned by the System.Guid.NewGuid method (using the System.Guid namespace) and convert the result to a string using ToString(). The result is displayed in a message box.

Note: Visual Studio .NET allows you to easily generate GUID interactively by running the Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt. For more details,visit the MSDN site. Another resource to check out is the TechRepublic article,"Generating and working with GUIDs in .NET."

在VB6.0中,数据访问接口有三种: 1、ActiveX数据对象(ADO) 2、远程数据对象(RDO) 3、数据访问对象(DAO) 1.使用ADO(ActiveX Data Objec,ActiveX数据对象)连接SQL Server 1)使用ADO控件连接 使用ADO控件的ConnectionString属性就可以连接SQL Server,该属性包含一个由分号分隔的argument=value语
注:大家如果没有VB6.0的安装文件,可自行百度一下下载,一般文件大小在200M左右的均为完整版的软件,可以使用。   特别提示:安装此软件的时候最好退出360杀毒软件(包括360安全卫士,电脑管家等,如果电脑上有这些软件的话),因为现如今的360杀毒软件直接会对VB6.0软件误报,这样的话就可能会在安装过程中被误报阻止而导致安装失败,或者是安装后缺乏很多必须的组件(其它的杀毒软件或安全卫士之类的
