Default Need A GUID In A Hurry?
http://blog.opennetcf.org/pfoot/PermaLink.aspx?guid=296990fd-10ee-4c56-a9d6-d60d7716c1f6

"There may be times in your application you need to generate a new unique Guid. The System.Guid class in .NETCF v1.0 doesn't have the NewGuid method which is what you would normally use on the desktop. There are a couple of proposed alternatives, either generating one yourself by following the standards for Guids - using a few P/Invokes to Crypto API methods to get random numbers, using the GuidEx class which uses the same technique or indirectly using SqlCe to create a new identity value."

Peter Foot in his blog has provided an easy way to generate a GUID, which involves only a single P/Invoke call to one of the COM subsystem API methods. So in case you need a GUID in a hurry, you now know where to look. :-)
