Now this function is always returning false as UuidFromString is always returning RPC_S_INVALID_STRING_UUID telling that the string UUID/GUID 'GuidString' is invalid.

However, here i am not able to store it back to 'String'.

String = new unsigned char[result.GetLength() + 1];
strcpy(String, result);
