How do i populate GlobalID's in a geodatabase using ArcObjects for .NET?

Question

Hi,

I am looking for information on populating GlobalID's in a geodatabase using ArcObjects for .NET.

We have users who would like to edit features in Survey123 that were created in ArcMap.

In order to work with Survey123, I need to adopt GlobalId usage. I'm just not sure on how to automate the population the GlobalId's in C#.

Any information is appreciated.

It appears the Add Global ID Tool in ESRI would take care of it but a higher level of license is needed to run that tool.

Since my users may often have the lowest tiered version i opted for a different way. You can code for this directly in C# using System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()); to populate your GUIDs.
