    Quick Tip: Guid Without Dashes

    From watching the MS'ers type code a lot at the Summit, I noticed something interesting I didn't know.

    Guid.ToString(”N”)

    That will return the Guid without any dashes...very interesting...didn't know that...

    Doesn't anybody read the documentation?

    I've never really needed to do that, so why would I read the documentation for that? I just thought it was neat and would share for all the other people that haven't run across it. Did you read the documentation for all of .NET like a manual? :P

    I *do* read the SDK docs religiously--I don't use VS, so I have to look up methods and properties.

    That said, I have needed this and have never run into this little bit of info. Good tip!

    Glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty neat. I never read the docs unless I have to. I'm a slow reader and learn faster by just playing anyway.

    Yipee, I made Kent's take out list on my birthday :P
