Tool Tip: Create a list of Globally Unique IDs with TurboGUID

I’m proud to announce the launch of a little website called TurboGUID. I put this site together out of frustration having to manually generate unique ids for my work.

TurboGUID - Create a list of Globally Unique IDs

Sometimes I need to create a bunch of GUIDs for my work but generally you can only create one at a time. There are a number of ways to create them, but I normally use the Microsoft utility guidgen.exe - recently I had to create over a hundred GUIDs so I figured I should just spend a little bit of time writing some code to do it for me. Simple code, but definitely a time saver!

This release is only iteration one so if you have any comments or suggestions on extra features then please leave me a message and I’ll add your suggestions to a future iteration.

If you’re asking what a GUID is or what you might use one for, you may want to read the next website:

GUID wiki - Another wiki post that describes more than I care to on my own site

Enjoy!
