    Converting GUID -> string -> GUID

    An app I'm writing needs to associate archived data (using Access) with some unique identifier & I'm think about using GUID's. As far as I can see, I can create using ::CoCreateGUID()

    and convert it to a string using ::StringFromGUID2()

    However, there doesn't seem to be an API call going in the other direction for GUIDs (I've found CLSIDFromString & IIDFromString but no GUIDFromString). Anyone know how to go from String -&gt; GUID?

    Re: Converting GUID -> string -> GUID

    Sorry, I'm new. Didn't know that you can't link to non code-guru site.

    Here is the code to parse .net style Guid.ToString() output as win32 Guid.

    static bool TryParse( const WCHAR* wzGuid, _Out_ UUID& guid )
    {
    UUID rawGuid;
    wstring parenGuid( L"{" );
    parenGuid += wzGuid;
    parenGuid += L"}" ;
    HRESULT hr = CLSIDFromString( parenGuid.c_str(), &rawGuid );
    if( FAILED( hr ) )
    {
    return false;
    }
    guid = rawGuid;
    return true;
    }

    Please remove my previous post then. Thanks.
