GuidPlus is extended version of System.Guid. Library is compatible with .NET Standard 2.0 and therefore possible to use with .NET Core or .NET Framework implementations. Project uses as little dependencies as possible.

When (if possible) there is not enough GUIDs available for a project, GuidPlus creates a chain of standard GUIDs to create more space. It is possible to use GuidPlus to create GUID patterns with prefix GUID, base GUID and suffix GUID, because it accepts System.Guid[] in its constructor.

Existing GuidPlus object can be parsed to string, which can be parsed to new GuidPlus object as well.

If you want to just generate a GuidPlus value, then use following code. It will create an instance of GuidPlus with length of 3 standard GUIDs.

GuidPlus guidPlus = new GuidPlus(3);

If you want to generate a GuidPlus value with predefined GUIDs, for example create two GUIDs chain where one of them is a prefix, then use following code.

Guid prefixGuid = Guid.Parse("6f71a9c8-efef-4c11-acbe-fe8a4a7f1199");
Guid baseGuid = Guid.NewGuid();

GuidPlus guidPlus = new GuidPlus(new Guid[] { prefixGuid, baseGuid });

If there is a string representation of GuidPlus object data, then use following code.

string guidPlusRepresentation = "6f71a9c8-efef-4c11-acbe-fe8a4a7f1199-82754644-13dc-4449-b98f-1a432d80ef0d";

GuidPlus guidPlus = new GuidPlus(guidPlusRepresentation);

To convert GuidPlus object to string, just use ToString() method.

GuidPlus guidPlus = new GuidPlus(3);

string guidPlusRepresentation = guidPlus.ToString();
