function is not working for me.....is causing an exception in the application code.
b)Could anyone also please...clarify the purpose the GUID serves and how do i hanlde it in my application.....
----Thanks help will be highly appreciated.... |
Here is my Guid Code, a function which return a Byte array ..
note that you dont need to use CoCreateguid function!
Code:
Private Function Guid() As Byte()
On Error GoTo HandleError
Dim iPos As Integer
Dim bTemp() As Byte
ReDim bTemp(0 To 15)
' client guid
Randomize
For iPos = 0 To 14
bTemp(iPos) = CByte((254 * Rnd + 1))
Next iPos
bTemp(7) = 255
bTemp(15) = 0
Guid = bTemp
Exit Function
HandleError:
LogError ("Guid")
Resume Next
End Function
