Go to the model and change the type of BasketId from int to Guid. I don't understand what the problem is?

Solution 1

You can not convert a GUID to an integer type of .NET...
A GUID is a 128 bit number and the larges (built-in) integer type is 64 bit...

Where do you want to store it?

this is what the code looks like

private Basket createNewBasket(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{

HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie(BasketSessionName);
Basket basket = new Basket();
basket.date = DateTime.Now;
basket.BasketId = Guid.NewGuid();

baskets.Insert(basket);
baskets.Commit();

cookie.Value = basket.BasketId.ToString();
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1);
httpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);

return basket;

}
and the basket model has the BasketId as an int with {get;set;}

As explained GUID can not convert to int (not enough room), so you have to change BasketID's type... Try string... GUID has a nice ToString method...
