Guid
This value type represents a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID). A GUID is a 128-bit integer (16 bytes) that can be used across all computers and networks and will be statistically unique (for all practical purposes, the number cannot be duplicated coincidentally). GUIDs are used to identify COM (but not .NET) objects uniquely for registration purposes.
