..........A GUID or (UUID) is a universally unique identifier which is a 128-bit number or (16 byte long).
They are used for generating globally unique IDs that are guaranteed to be unique without using a central repository (like a database) to generate them. Typical uses are in various project files (like .csproj or .aip). Read more at wikipedia.

How are you realizing the conversion of the Guid to Int, in the code? I'm trying to replicate this same process in a C# script.

// Turn a GUID into a string and strip out the '-' characters.
BigInteger huge = BigInteger.Parse(modifiedGuidString, NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier)

Any chance you could make the code available for perusal? Would like to understand how to convert from a string which is the Hex representation of a guid (i.e. 5FA6334EA726504981FB33B7DF5B96B0) into the guid's standard format.

public static String convertMSGUIDToHexFormat(String msGuid) {
return msGuid
.replaceAll("(.{2})(.{2})(.{2})(.{2}).(.{2})(.{2}).(.{2})(.{2})(.{18})",
"$4$3$2$1$6$5$8$7$9")
.replaceAll("-", "")
.toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT);
}
