How to generate a new GUID for an ArcObjects add-in?

EvanBlaisdell — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 16:57:22 GMT

I copied a Visual Studio C# add-in project to modify it and create a new add-in. But since the GUIDs (the <AddInID> tag in the Config.esriaddinx file) are the same, they cannot both be loaded into ArcMap at the same time. What is the best/safest way to create a new GUID for the new project? Can I simply use an online GUID generator and manually replace all occurrences in the project?

Hi Evan,

You could use Visual Studio "Create GUID" tool (from Tools-Create GUID) to generate new GUID and replace existing one.

Does anyone know how to generate a new GUID in C# for a geodatabase?

My end-users sometimes create sites and related tables in ArcMap and they want to use Survey123 where GlobalID relationships are necessary for related table editing.

Thanks in Advance.
