Hi,

Now i am doing a vb.net desktop application, In which i have to construct GUID. Eventhough having a built-in function in our VB.NET like "System.Guid.NewGuid.ToString()" to get GUID, I need to create the GUID in 30 digits in the below mentioned criteria through vb.net.

Application constructs the GUID (30 digits) using the information from the 5 different sources. The different sources are Current system time, millisecond of the system time, Process ID for the application, system physical memory status and finally the group object identifier number.

8 digits 4 digits 8 digits 8 digits 2 digits
System Time Millisecond Process ID Memory status Group Identifier

Ex:

Current Time + Millisecond + Process ID + memory status + Condition ID.
“104a340e”+”00a4”+”000023a5”+”b657c410”+”09” = “104a340e00a4000023a5b657c41009”

Now, I have the last attribute "Group identifier"(2digits) in my hand.

I have to create the other items (System Time,Millisecond,Process ID and Memory status) using vb.net. Is there any built in functions available in vb.net to create them?

I am not sure how to get the above values to construct the GUID? Can anyone help me to achieve this. This will be more helpful for me.

Thanks,

You probably would not have been asked to do this, if there were not built in ways to do this.

So don't be so lazy, learn to use a search engine. I'll even help with the first one.

Search on vb.net system time
